Power jack inverter wattage query

Fabian

The power jack 2021 new design LF inverter for example the 20,000watt one that is rated for 10,000watt continuously at 220v.

when using the inverter in split phase mode which allows the use of 220volts at 10,000watt.
Is it that i will be limited to a max of 5,000watt on each of the phases?
SO in essence my 220volts equipment(s) can pull a max of 10,000watt which would be divided into 2 between L1 and L2.
So basically i would be drawing a max of 5000watt on L1 & L2 at the same time if I a using 220vac at the max 10,000watt?

Yep... Think of it as two flashlight batteries in series... 1.5 volts @ 1 amp output vs 3.0 volts @ 1 amp output for two batteries in series.

• 1.5 volts * 1 amp = 1.5 Watts
• 2 * 1.5 volts in series * 1 amp = 3.0 Watts

Each inverter provides 120 VAC @ 83.3 amps (I guess). Placing them in series gives you 240 VAC @ 83.3 amps

Note you cannot just "stack" AC inverters for 2x higher voltage. The inverters must be designed to be "stacked" so that their AC output voltage sine-waves are "synced" to each other (typically with some sort of sync cable). And generally, the two inverters must be PSW (pure sine wave) types to connect this way.
