The resistance is very low, and the load highly inductive, until the wires
heat up. It doesn't take long, in human terms; but it could be too long for the inverted unless adiquate protective circuits are designed in.

Sure enough, a $70, 600W inverter featuring the "latest sine-wave technology" that can run "compressors" and "toasters" among other things. Certainly you need the latest sine waves for toasters. :-) Wayne Actually, isn't a toaster something of a challenge for an inverter? Mine basically said not to use for any kind of heating device.
