Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop (1800W) 1,800W 1,800W Safe ~1.6h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 1800 W. **Surge:** 1800 W (resistive heating element, no inrush spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Power station must sustain 1800 W continuous output on AC inverter.

Field note: Verify power station inverter rating is at least 2000 W continuous to allow headroom. Resistive load provides stable draw without cyclic spikes.

Can I run this induction cooktop on a 1500 W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 1800W continuous and 1800W surge at 120V.

Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 1300 W at 120V. **Surge:** 1300 W (resistive heating element, no motor startup). Requires power station with continuous 1300 W rating and 120V AC outlet.

Field note: Verify power station continuous output meets or exceeds 1300 W. Insufficient headroom will trigger overload shutdown during cooking.

Can I use this burner with a 1000W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 1300W continuous and 1300W surge at 120V.

Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 1000 W. **Surge:** 1000 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. Resistive heating element draws steady current with no inrush spike. Power station must supply clean 120 V output and sustain 1000 W continuous.

Field note: Verify power station AC outlet delivers rated continuous output. Undersized inverters will overheat or shut down under sustained resistive load.

Can I use this burner with a 500 Wh portable power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 1000W continuous and 1000W surge at 120V. Runtime would be approximately 30 minutes before depletion, provided inverter does not thermally limit first.

This load may exceed a standard 15A outlet. Verify your station has a higher-amperage outlet (20A/30A) before purchase.

Generator Insights

The 7200 W surge can handle typical compressor-based appliances like well pumps, refrigerators, and air conditioning startup events on 120V circuits. The 3600 W continuous rating supports sustained operation once inrush currents settle, making this unit a strong option for heavy 120V backup loads.

This unit uses LFP chemistry and draws from manufacturer documentation for its output specifications. The 7200 W surge rating reflects the inverter's transient capacity, not a thermal or safety certification.

Technical Analysis

Spec-Based โ€ข No Guarantees

Technical Breakdown

Running load: 1800 W. Surge: 1800 W (resistive heating element). Voltage: 120 V AC required. Power station must supply continuous 1800 W minimum.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~1.6h. Resistive heating draws constant 1800 W when active. Daily usage of 1 hour consumes approximately 1800 Wh.

Field Note

Most induction cooktops offer adjustable power levels (200โ€“1800W). For RV or camping use, cooking on a lower setting (600โ€“800W) stretches battery runtime significantly while still bringing water to a boil. Many van lifers switching from propane to electric rely on this approach to stay within their station's capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 power an Electric Stove?

Yes. The Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 provides 3600W running / 7200W surge. The Electric Stove (Single Burner) needs 1981W / 1981W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 1619W of running headroom and 5219W of surge margin.

How long will the Yeti Pro 4000 run an Electric Stove?

Approximately 1.6 hours, based on the Electric Stove (Single Burner)'s 1800W draw and the Yeti Pro 4000's 3993.6Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 1065W allocated to the Electric Stove (Single Burner), the Yeti Pro 4000 still has ~15W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
