Q: Why won’t the TV I have turn on when connected to my inverter?

A: Some TV manufacturers design their TV’s to require an unusually large surge of power to start up. In some cases, this surge can far exceed even the peak rating of the inverter. The inverter has a built-in safety circuit designed to protect the inverter and your vehicle from high power overloads that could blow fuses and cause damage to wiring. If the light on the inverter is turning red when attempting to power your television it is because that television’s power surge requirement is exceeding the peak rating of the inverter.

This generally occurs on lesser-expensive off-brand televisions which are designed with minimal components to be sold at low retail prices.
