Calculate Inverter Size





Formula

The formula to calculate the Inverter Size is:

\[ \text{Inverter Size} = \frac{\text{Total Wattage} \cdot \text{Safety Factor}}{\text{Efficiency}} \]

What is Inverter Size?

Inverter size refers to the maximum amount of power that an inverter can handle and convert from DC (Direct Current) to AC (Alternating Current). It is typically measured in watts or kilowatts. The size of the inverter you need depends on the total power consumption of the devices you want to run. For instance, if you want to power a 100-watt light bulb and a 500-watt refrigerator, you would need an inverter that is rated for at least 600 watts.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Inverter Size:

\[ \text{Inverter Size} = \frac{1000 \cdot 1.25}{0.9} = \frac{1250}{0.9} \approx 1389 \text{ W} \]

The required inverter size is approximately 1389 W.
