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 appliances and equipment. In some cases, a tool will be rated
in amperes. To convert from amps to watts, multiply:
Amps x 115 (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.
