FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much headroom should I add?
Add together the watts for each item you want to run at the same time, then add about 15 percent to the total wattage to make sure you have enough power.
What if I only know the amps?
Use AMPS x 220V = Watts for 220V mains and a 220V output inverter. For example a 5 amp cooling unit x 220V = 1100 watts.
Are these figures exact?
No. The estimated watts are estimates only. Check the manual or the appliance itself for the actual wattage required.
