Re: (ET) Rotary inverter on ebay...

[frankenfield <res08b3w verizon net>]

Hi folks,

I've not closely followed the thread on these rotary inverters.   How many
amps does the 900 watts translate into ?  I'm  wondering if it will drive 
my
110V chain saw which is rated at 15 Amps.

Thanks,


Steve F.
