So there is or is not 2000w available?

[FlyingTexan]

Someone that knows the answer as a fact please tell me what wattage I can pull from this outlet.

 

[Tazzieman]

Give it a try What's the worst that can happen?

It depends on what type of load it is you are trying to run.
Watts is a poor term to use on AC circuits
That is also very poorly labelled.
They have stated 120 Volts at 20 Amps which would imply 2,400 VA or watts if it was a purely resistive load or at unity power factor.
Very few loads meet that criteria so I assume they have been cautious and said 2,000 watts as a max

No idea what the 0.4 kw max means.
I would have guessed that is either a no load power consumption or a minimum allowable load.

View attachment 7849869400 Watts is what the owners manual says. If that's the outlet in the cargo area, mine just says 0.400kW

I have been told that a 1900w battery charger can run off of that outlet, which would mean 2kw, not 0.4kw. But, you asked for confirmation, I can't give that 100%

power takeoff was 400 watts. So .4kW. 2kW should mean the ability to plug in something with a max 20000w draw and run it. I do understand efficiencies and load times. This would say it's 80% efficient which isn't absurd.

The owner's manual says
"The Power Inverter is rated to output 400Watts at its peak rate"

Are you sure about that? That's not in the owner's manual (400W is). Where do you get your information?

 

[FlyingTexan]

The owner's manual says

I know what's in the manual but if you look at the plug outlet in the picture it specifically says 2kw which is why I asked if anyone knows for a fact. So far zero people have.

look at the photo

 

[Lars]

look at the photo

We are telling you, you just don't want to believe the Grenadier's AC outlet is rated for 400W and not 2000W. I guess I don't know what the picture is.

The question is, why does the AC outlet plug cover in his Grenadier say 0.2 kW max and 0.4 kW max. The picture he took is from the outlet in the cargo area I believe, why does the cover give 2 max numbers?

 

[Tazzieman]

If your dealer doesn't know , ask IA via their help line.
It might take a while.
The inverter should come with a manual. I presume it is branded? Look up the documentation for the brand/model online.

2kW should mean the ability to plug in something with a max 20000w draw and run it

A typo, I guess: 2kW is 2000 Watts not 20000 Watts.

Unless you plug it into the cd player

If you don’t know what the picture is and all you’re doing is saying what the manual says then you aren’t telling g me anything from a position of first hand knowledge which was why I came here and specifically asked for that in the original post. I know what the manual says and if again, I took a photo of the plug itself that is clearly labeled otherwise. In big bold it says 120/20A. That’s 2400watts. The manual mentions 400w (that’s labeled on the socket as well) which leaves 2000w (which is also labeled on the socket).

No offense to everyone but it was pretty clear I’m asking for someone that has first hand knowledge and so far it’s been at best people pointing to a book in my glove box. I was hoping to avoid that.

 

[Tazzieman]

No offense but this isn’t a debate topic. I posted a photo of the outlet. It’s shows 2000w. I asked if anyone has first hand factual knowledge. If you knew you didn’t have then why is everyone ignoring the original posts and chiming in? I don’t care what the manual says I care about the labeled outlet I put a photo of.

I am used to figuring stuff out myself. Sorry for being so self sufficient. It has served me well in the wilds of Tasmania
Post a pic of the inverter; the Australian Grenadier isn't lucky enough to have one , nor a subwoofer.

 

[NoMoTaco]

IIRC the inverter is behind the boot panel on the driver side (panel with vent slots). It should be labeled with the specs to answer this question. I know it's pain in the ass to go to this length to find the answer, but I would also imagine someone on here has a photo of it kicking around here on the forum...anyone?....Bueller?....

I mean, I asked a specific question and you knew you didn’t know the answer but here we are going circles for nothing. Welcome to the internet I guess. You don’t have the option and are giving me advice about documentation that doesn’t exists. Let’s just wait for someone that knows the answer to respond instead. This isn’t self sufficiency.

The photo is of the panel with the socket. That’s all that’s labeled on it.
