Hello Gerry,

The PROLINE 10,000 W inverter can provide up to 1,500 Watts from the AC outlets on the side, and if your device requires more than that, you will need to plug it in directly into the High Output Terminals in the front of the device as instructed in the Owner's Manual.

Hello Gerry,

The Proline 10,000 Watt Inverter can provide up to 10,000 Watts of power. The AC Sockets on the side of the inverter are limited to 1,500 Watts and 14.5 Amps at 120 Volts is 120v x 14.5 Amps = 1740 Watts. So the Air Compressor would need to be plugged in directly to the High Output terminals as it requires more than the 1,500 Watts you would be able to pull from the AC outlets on the side.

Hello Gerry,

The AC sockets on the side of the Proline 10,000 Watt Inverter can provide up to 1,500 Watts (approx. 12.5 ~ 13.6 Amps), and if you are requiring more than that at 14.5 Amps we would advise you to connect your Air Compressor directly to the High Output terminals in the front of the device to ensure you don't encounter any issues.
