LOAD CONSIDERATIONS

When an appliance with a motor starts, it requires a momentary surge of power. This surge of

power is the “starting load” or “peak load”. Once started, the appliance requires less power to

continue to operate. This is known as the “continuous load”. It is important to know the starting

loads and the continuous loads of the appliances that are to be powered by the inverter.

Appliance power is rated in watts. This information is usually stamped or printed on most appli-

ances and equipment. In some cases, a tool will be rated in amperes. To convert from amps to

watts, multiply:

Amps × 120 (AC voltage) = Watts

This formula yields an approximation of the continuous wattage load of that appliance.

The startup load of an appliance is a major factor of whether this inverter can power it.

Startup load is momentary. With many appliances, it is approximately twice the continuous load,

but some appliance startup loads can be as high as eight times the continuous load.
