Sorein Power Station overloads when turned onUpdated 10 days ago

If a Sorein Power Station overloads and turns off, when the inverter is turned on, or when an appliance is started (such as an air conditioner), it is because the limits of the inverter were exceeded. 

In order of likelihood, these are the appliances that typically cause overloading:

• air conditioner
• electric water heater
• microwave oven
• induction stove
• plug-in appliances that have heating elements, such as:
  • hair dryer
  • toaster
  • electric skillet
  • space heater
• plug-in appliances that have electric motors, such as:
  • sump pump
  • vacuum cleaner

To solve the problem:

• Turn off all appliances before starting the power station. (Be sure that the water heater is in Gas mode, or OFF).
• Turn on appliances one at a time.
• Watch the output display on the Sorein front panel display as each appliance is turned on, to isolate the one(s) that are overloading the inverter.

Wattage loads in excess of the rated output of the inverter will cause it to overload and turn off (the output limit is 2200 Watts for first generation Sorein, 3300 Watts for second generation AIR GEAR x Sorein). 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Repeated overloading of the power station inverter will eventually cause it to fail. This type of failure is not covered by the AIR GEAR warranty.
