What It Can Power

Typically, viewers are concerned about whether such a unit can power specific devices during outages. Instead of showing random devices, I built a custom calculator to help figure out how long the Delta Pro 3 can power specific appliances based on their wattage. The calculator allows you to input your own information and needs to get a clear estimate.

For example, an 18 cubic foot refrigerator running for 1 hour consumes roughly 200 watts. You can scale up the number of hours and add more devices to see the total power consumption.

I used the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 to charge my EV, demonstrating its 240V output capability. The car charger was set to 17 amps at 240 volts, achieving an output of around 3922 watts.

  • Direct DC Charging: Connects directly to the Delta Pro 3 for efficient charging.
  • Output: 3200 watts of electricity, a 40% improvement over previous models.
  • Dual Fuel: Operates on gasoline or propane.
  • App Control: Customize when the generator turns on or off to power the Delta Pro 3.
  • Strong Integration: Prioritizes solar charging, only activating the generator when necessary.

Who Is This Designed For?

  • Easy Setup: Ideal for anyone wanting a backup or off-grid power system without the complication of a DIY setup.
  • Mobility: Despite its 113 lb weight, it is mobile with wheels and a retractable handle.
  • Advanced Features: Intuitive app control and remote monitoring make it suitable for tech-savvy users.
