Can anyone with some knowledge of AC200PL confirm what the actual surge output power is (UK version), the website tech specs state 4,800W, yet the User Manual V2.0 states that it is 3,600W.
So unless I have misunderstood the information as presented, the information is not correct at one of these locations.
Hi,
Thank you for your question!
To clarify, the overload power (3,600W) is the maximum power that the AC200PL can handle for a short period, which allows for brief surges beyond its rated output. This is designed to accommodate temporary spikes in power demand, such as when starting motors or other inductive loads.
The peak power mentioned (7,200W) is the maximum instantaneous load the device can tolerate, but this should only be for very brief moments (usually under 0.1 seconds). The 4,800W listed on the website is indeed incorrect, and we will reach out to the team to have that updated.
In summary, for continuous operation, you should consider the overload power of 3,600W. The peak power is not intended for sustained use, as it can lead to overheating and potential damage to the components.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
Thank you for the quick response, I missed “The peak power mentioned (7,200W) is the maximum instantaneous load” is this also a typo?
I am aware of how to use of peak power hence my question about the inconsistent information.
Also it should be noted that the AC200L has the same error on the product website this needs addressing asap as it can be deemed false advertising.
