What is the difference between continuous power and peak power?
When making a decision about the necessary size of a power inverter, the another important thing to keep in mind is the difference between continuous and peak power output.
Peak output power is the wattage that an inverter can supply for a very short period of time when start.
Continuous output power is the long term normal operation. It offers continuous power for your load normal working. If your electric devices draw a combined total of 600 watts, then you need to buy an inverter that has a continuous output rating of 600 watts.
If an inverter that is rated 600w peak but 300w continuous output, it just won’t fit in this situation.
