Introducing Inverters
The latest range leads the field in power inverters, and sets the pace in
develop-ment and design. They have been meticulously assembled to provide
reliable service, converting low voltage, direct current (DC) to 110 volt alternating
household current (AC). They draw their power from different sources depending
on the model and its capacity:
Standard 12 volt automobile battery
Portable high power 12 volt sources.
Before Using
When you turn on an appliance or a tool that runs on a motor, the appliance
basically goes through two stages:
1. Start up - requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the "starting
load" or "peak load".
2. Continuous operation - power consumption drops (commonly known as the
"continuous load".)
Before using your power inverter, you need to calculate these loads, i.e.:
1. Starting load (at start up)
2. Continuous load (on continuous operation)
The formula for power consumption (measured in either WATTS (wattage) or AMPS
(amperes)) is: AMPS x 110 (AC voltage)=WATTS
