Hard to fathom why my 1200 watter handled this load with aplomb, and the 1600 watter won't even try. I was again considering the 2000, now that I have the PD, but this was way to frustrating.


Wonder if it's a power factor thing - maybe it draws short but high current pulses and the electronics in the 2000i doesn't like it. The 'dumb' 1200 doesn't care as the average draw is within its limits.
