i am tring to run a chain hoist (115 vac) from a car battery using a dc to ac power converter.
but it will not work
the hoist motor says it should draw 6.something full load amps on the nameplate and thats close to what it draws from a wall outlet but when it is hooked to the inverter I am reading 18 something amps and the motor just hums and then the inverter goes into protection mode and shuts down. why is it drawing so many amps from the inverter?
how can i make it work?
Thanks
