Hi Joe,

Definitely a strong smell of rodent here!

You can't pull power out of thin air. If the input is 120V at 20A max. then you can't have more than 2400 watts available on the output, and even that's assuming that whatever is inside that box is 100% efficient.

As has been mentioned already, the only way to get 3 times the current is to reduce the voltage proportionally, i.e. 60A at 40V also comes to 2400W. But try running lamps designed for 120V on 40V and they won't pull anywhere near that amount of power. You'd be lucky if they just glimmered faintly.

It would certainly be interesting to see what's inside the unit, but I doubt anyone here would be willing to pay $449 to find out.
