Can I know more about Inverter and battery bank selection for specific load?
Load (Sample) Qty Wattage (w) Conversion to DC Amps (C) Actual DC Amps (A) Appliance Run Time (hours – h) Amp Hours Consumed Between Charge Cycles w / 12 C X 1.1 A X h 19’ TV 1 100 8.3 9.1 4.0 36.4 Coffee Maker 1 1,000 83.3 91.7 0.5 45.9 Microwave 1 1,200 100.0 110 0.17 18.7 Hair Dryer 1 1,600 133.3 146.7 0.17 24.9 TOTAL 3,900 Total Ah 125.9 Choosing the right inverter When sizing your inverter, calculate the total wattage required at any one time and choose the inverter with a slightly higher power output. (Start up surge should be considered for compressive loads.) Determining your battery bank requirements 1. Converting AC amps to Watts: AC amps x 120 Volts = Watts 2. Convert Watts to Actual DC amps: (Watts / 12) x 1.1 = actual DC amps 3. amp hours consumed between charge cycles: run-time of appliance (hours) X actual DC amps = amp hours consumed 4. Number of batteries required: (Total amp hours consumed X 2*) / amp hour rating of battery = Number of batteries required *Since deep c
