Playfair and Odenwell,

I am planning on putting together a power backup for my tank. I have been doing some comparison shopping as was going to take a trip to Radio Shack and some electronic stores. I have two questions.

What does "pdt" mean (3 pdt relay)? I will add it to my reference list...

Most of the power inverters I have seen have a voltage lower than 120v, usally 115v or 110v. Is this normal?
