The video says that this can only source 500W per outlet. This will be a problem if you have a single 1000W device. So, what I've read so far seems to discredit the manufacturers claim of 500W only per outlet since many on here have claimed the ability to run 1000W+ devices?

1000 watts will run fine from a single outlet!What they are saying that you cannot pull more than 1000 watts total from both outlets. If one outlet draws 750 watts, you have 250 watts left for the second outlet!

I would have to see the video but I run a full size fridge all the time no problem and I would say it's more than 500 watts and the inveter works great I will look at the video and get back to you

I watched the video and you are correct I would contact sunforce customer support but they are probably right but I run the fridge no problem

Hi. I wouldn't try it with less than 500W. Obviously it doesn't consume that much, but if you're thinking of upgrading to this card, you probably have a couple hard drives, a higher-performance CPU and so on, and would need that much for other reasons. I had a 400W PS that was unable to power my system a few years ago, resulting in BSODs and random freezes, so I changed that out for my current 600W supply, which does just fine. I have an 8-core CPU, this video card, an SSD and four hard drives. I just had a look at EVGA's specsheet about this, and it says minimum 350W PS. I would imagine that is in a minimal system with nothing else hooked up. If you have any plans to upgrade anything in the future, being stuck with a tiny power supply will limit your options. I'd say start your search at 500W and if you find a good manufacturer of a more powerful one that's reasonably priced, get it.

Like another write said....forget joules...look at clamping voltage and get 300 or less volts. This has 500 and is almost worthless since most failures from a power company transformer can hit you with 440 and that took out everything in my house including a well...surge protected TVs included. Luckily if your handy with a screw driver and a soldering iron you can change the MOVs in most electronics and the device with work just like new...or leave take it out and you have it working but with no protect next time. This strip uses movs and one hit and it will be gone.

hiThis type of card has a low consumption approximately 150W , I think with that source will not have problems. I have a 500w and have not had problems with that card.

I have no clue. I have a 430W in mine and I don't have problems.. I can't see it taking that much.

The rating is 500 watts, so you should not expect to do any more. The 1000 watt peak really only takes care of start up, since the initial load is always more than the operating wattage.

Good question and I don't fully know. What I do know is there is more than 2 amps coming from the wall, or car, so it's not limited at the source. Does it have the right chips to fully deliver that, I think so, but that's just from use. When I use 2 devices at the same time, the 2 amp one always charges faster. Not a scientific answer but it's what I know. Love this product btw.

Watts are calculated from voltage and amps. The output wattage would depend on the current (amps) being drawn. If your load is 1 amp, the device will "push out" 120watts. Unless you have something drawing 5 amps all the time, the device won't provide 600watts

I used 1000mA for three at the same time. However, I had a hard time in the beginning to energize them for the first time. Now they all work perfectly. Also, depending the distance from the power source, it will not allow you to share the same power supply with others. It's a little tricky, but works very well.

ive owned this inverter and it is 1000 watts in one plug dude must have been on crack that day of the video. Only down side to it this inverter will not handle very much surge it will go up to about 1200 surge and beep the hole time but 1000 output it will do and hold it.

I'm sure that is max for the unit. Using two 1200W devices isn't the problem, the issue would be how many amps they'll draw when in use. For example, if you connected two 1200W grills, it'll not work due to the amps.

This device has only a output port, so in theory, you only can power feed a single device at time, However, if the sum of all loads doesn't exceed the capacity of the power bank, might be possible to feed more than a device with some sort of divider cable, but I'm not sure if that device exist in the market. If you are handy with a soldering iron and have some electronics knowledge, this should be easy to solve. Good Luck!

This supply provides up to 850 Watts of 120 volt power on 110 volts or 1000 Watts of 12 volt power on 240 voltsYou can't make 1000watts at 110 (120v) you get ~70amps at 12v when running off 110 (found in most homes in the US)850(watts out)/120(volts in)=7amps(current draw) + 20%(80% efficiency) =9.2 amps(wall current) most houses are rated 20amps for a room. Add in networking gear lights fans. You can over run the house wiring fast. That said I am running two miners that are ~400watts a peace off one of these with no ill effects. (Month 5 for me.)

The one with 400W in the name is 400W. They make a 600W, maybe they copy/pasted the description without updating.

OK time for Class.... 1st it is rated at 500 watts. Here is Ohms law to help figure it out. P=ExI or P= I^2xR or P= E^2/R.... that said an owners manual for your product will most likely tell you how many Watts of Power your Equipment will Draw. i HAVE always went by a "Rule of Thumb" and run at around 3/4 of max power. 500 Watts would be MAX PEEK POWER so i take 500 x .75=375WATTS and it has served me well. Right now i run my Computer, a 32" flat screen TV and my external Hard Drive off the one i have. It has been in Continueous operation for almost 3 years now. If you need a Class on the "in rush" of current just ask!

I'm running this on a 300w and it's runniing fine. I have a 500w but it's too big to fit in my case lol, but it runs just fine with the 300w so I'm not concerned.

Informal rule is twice the maximum load in Watts (for surges when certain equipment starts up). So 500W is all you'd need.
