My battery charger shows readings as follows on my power meter.
240v
MAX Watts 161
MAX Amps 1.12
Power Factor 0.6
I want specify a 12v to 240v Inverter - what capacity should I specify - based on the wattage or the ampage?
Many thanks - pure sine wave certainly also double the wattage - good advice.They are normally sold by wattage, but be wary what you buy. You want pure sine wave, and I usually work on double the wattage you think you need.
Many thanks Geoff - I will take your advice. I'm still confused about the difference between the reading on my power meter which says 161watts and what Ohms Law says it should be based on the Amps X Volts. Not to worry, an 800watt inverter seems to fit the bill if connected to a fused supply directly from the battery. Many thanks again.
