I understand default as shipped volts out is ~19 volts. what is the default current out setting and can it be adjusted without a load?

Well, by default the output current is 12 A. You could adjust under load. No load did not try. I hope I have helped a little. Juan Yaber

You mean no-load current? According to manufacturer's spec, no load current is 1 Amp and 0.1 Amps with PowerSave mode, translates to 12 watts/1.2 Watts, although I'm NOT sure why this inverter incorporates manual PowerSave mode. It doesn't take much to add automatic power save functionality in the circuit. You really need to go to go to manufacturer's website, and download the specifications.

It should always read 115V out (same as input). It's not a voltage regulator. It controls speed by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) which means it changes the AC waveform. Look up PWM on Wikipedia.org if you'd like a more detailed explanation.

&gt;Does the voltage meet American standard? Yes,it does. &gt;And how much is the shipping? It depends on a method of the transportation.

Honestly I'm mot sure. I did take apart the switch unit to see if there were posts to change the frequency. When I opened it I noticed the main board was a very cheaply made one materials wise. I would wager the seller intends low amp and voltage for the unit. Im not an electrician but I do know computers. Im basing my guess on personal observations.

I don't think you can change volts, just mil amps, I would not try it unless someone from porter cable said it was ok, I have tried with other things and fried them

You have to have your "load" connected first, otherwise the amps will remain at zero. By load I mean whatever it is you're trying to power. First connect your load, then turn the voltage all the way up, turn the amps all the way down, and turn on the power switch. Then slowly turn up the amps, then slowly turn down the volts to desired volt settings. Again, you have to have connected whatever it is you're trying to power to power first. I know, it doesn't make sense, but that's how it works. It threw me for a loop when I first got mine too.

Default Voltage is 110 but there's a switch that allows for voltage to be switched to 210.

Nothing on paper States. Lyman would have that info. However, I'm sure its low. I run two at the same time using the same plug with no issues.

As far as I know it is low voltage DC but I am not an electrician. Sorry but I hope this helps.

argghh! I think the answer is 'No'! I bought it and had it shipped to me in NZ and didn't even think about the stupid American 110 volts! Plugged it in and the fuse or bulb blew and smoke came out. Now I have to a) fix it, b) buy a step-down transformer. Can't believe companies still make separate versions of things rather than making them dual voltage!

Mine is packed away...so, here goes. On the handle you will see the two voltages and I think you need a little screw driver to turn the inside nut to point to the one you want. I have another one that has a switch...the principle is the same.

I believe its 120 volts just took it out of the case last month have not used it yet the job was canceled i bought it for. will check this weekend.

First, the answer is NOT 500ma (.5) as someone else replied. That is the no-load idle current, NOT the MAXIMUM current. While I don't see an official answer, based on the claimed 87% efficiency, the maximum load and surge, and a battery voltage estimate of 13 volts, a little rough math gives us a possible full load current of a bit over 132 amps, with a possible surge current reaching twice that number. Keep in mind these are just some quick back of the napkin figures, and are not a substitute for the manufacturer's published rating. BOTTOM LINE: Contact them before wiring it, I'm just somebody on the Internet making unreliable wild-eyed claims about electricity.

We believe it's a 9 volt. We haven't had to change it. Over all we are very happy with it.

As with most PCs there's a slider switch on the back near the plug input that allows you to select the voltage. I haven't tested this since my voltage is 120 (the default setting), but I did verify that the switch is there. The product specs should also verify it.

Yes - the output voltage is 12 VAC (not 12 VDC as a previous answer stated). But one of the other commenters was correct about the min load. When you just hook up the transformer and test the output without a load, it will read zero, or close to it. I thought the product was broken at first, but one I connected the load, all was well. It's been functioning great since (about 5 months ago).
