SECTIOn 1 |
– Devices that use radio frequency signals carried by the AC distribution wiring.
– Some new furnaces with microprocessor control / Oil burner primary controls.
– high intensity discharge (hID) lamps like Metal halide lamps. These may get damaged. Please
check with the manufacturer of these types of devices for suitability.
– Some fluorescent lamps / light fixtures that have Power factor Correction Capacitors. The
inverter may shut down indicating overload.
– Induction Cooktops.
1.3.3 Power rating of inverters
i
info
for proper understanding of explanations given below, please refer to definitions
of Active / reactive / Apparent / Continuous / Surge Powers, Power factor, and
resistive / reactive Loads at Section 1.2 under "DEfINITIONS"
The power rating of inverters is specified as follows:
• Maximum Continuous Running Power Rating
• Starting Surge Power Rating
Please read details of the above two types of power ratings in Section 1.2 under "DEfINITIONS"
i
info
The manufacturers' specification for power rating of AC appliances and devices
indicates only the Maximum Continuous running Power rating. The Starting Surge
Power required by some specific types of devices as explained above has to be
determined by actual testing or by checking with the manufacturer. This may not
be possible in all cases and hence, can be guessed at best, based on some general
rules of Thumb.
Table 1.6 provides a list of some common AC appliances / devices that require high Starting
Surge Power. An "Inverter Sizing factor" has been recommended against each which is a
Multiplication factor to be applied to the Maximum Continuous running Power rating (Active
Power rating in Watts) of the AC appliance / device to arrive at the Maximum Continuous
running Power rating of the inverter (Multiply the Maximum Continuous running Power
rating (Active Power rating in Watts) of the appliance / device by recommended Sizing factor
to arrive at the Maximum Continuous running Power rating of the inverter.
