We recommend you to buy the power inverter 1500w. Sometimes devices like a motor, it needs more power at start-up
(peak power) although after the motor is running continuous power. This is important to consider. For example, an air
conditioner, may need startup-power from 3 to 7 times of its the continuous power. The best procedure is to find out about
the current requirement of the device to be connected to the inverter. Normally this information is in the device
specifications.
Example:
If you have a refrigerator with a continuous load of 0.8 amps and a startup load of 8 amps:
0.8 amps x 230 volts = 184 watts continuous
8 amps x 230 volts = 1840 watts continuous
In this case you should use an inverter with 2000W.
11. HOW TO CHOOSE THE PROPER CABLE?
Inverters should be attached directly to the battery. The wire size depends on the distance between the battery and inverter.
The following is a reference to the cable size of the battery recommended by the DC12V system inverter. (DC24V system
