Is 500 watts of AC power is being drawn on an inverter how many amps are being drawn on the batteries powering the inverter?

Inverter efficiencies vary about 50% when a small about of power is being used, to over 90% when the output is approaching the inverters rated output. Your question cannot be answered without knowing the inverters rated output.

Can inverter AC save electricity?
Yes an inverter AC can save electricity. Most AC motors require large amount of current to start up. Once started - they consume very little power. In traditional AC's the compressor runs at full capacity till the desired temperature is reached and then it switches off. Each time it starts - it pulls is a lot of current - which wastes energy. In an inverter AC - the compressor never turns off compeletely. It mainatains the temperature by reducing the amount of comperssion in the comperssor in real time. It sounds counter intutive that a motor but a motor running continusly will draw in les spwoer than one that keeps turning on and off. This is why most escalators in malls will not switch off instalntly if no one is using them - since its cheaper to run them rather than star/stop for short periods of time.
How many amps does a 400w inverter draw from a 12 volt system?
Power (P), in Watts, is equal to the Voltage (V), in Volts, multiplied by the Current (I), in Amperes. P=V*I Using Algebra to solve for the Current (Amps) that are required: I=P/V Therefore: 2000 Watts / 12 Volts = ~167 Amps Please note, that this is for a 100% efficient inverter. If the inverter is 90% efficient the actual draw would be: Iideal*(1+(1-(%Efficiency/100)))=Iactual 167 Amps*(1+(1-(90/100)))=Iactual 167 A * (1+(1-0.9))=Iactual 167 A * (1+(0.1))=Iactual 167 A * (1.1)=Iactual 183 A = Iactual The continuous current draw for a 90% efficient power inverter, operating from a 12V DC source, out putting 2000W at 120V AC, is 183 Amps.

Can 3 fans 115 volts be plug in one outlet on 120 volts?
Depends on the size breaker used in the distribution panel, and the total amperage drawn by any other devices being powered on that same circuit, and of course, the amount of amperage drawn by each of the 3 fans.
Can inverter save energy?
Yes and no! it is possible to charge a battery from an inverter but more energy is drawn from the source than the energy that is saved, so no it is not possible.
Explain why a 24v system that runs off of 4 batteries which includes a 12v feed- that's powered by two of the batteries are getting no charge from the alternator.. the other two are charged well.?
With the batteries in series, the alternator provides the same current, and therefore the same charge to all the batteries. The alternator can take no account of any current being drawn from the 12V take off point. Part of the charge current is being fed to the 12V load and not to the batteries. Therefore, the 12-24V batteries are being fully charged while the 0-12V batteries are being partially charged. Over a period of time, the difference between the charge levels will become more obvious.

How long do d batteis last in aflashlight?
Depends on the quality of the battery, the number of batteries, and the amperage drawn by the bulb or LED.
A flashlight uses batteries that add up to 3.0 V and has a power output of 0.50 W How much current is drawn from the batteries?
P=v*i i=p/v=0.5/3=1/6 (a)

How many amps do 8 6 volt dc batteries put out?
The amperage drawn from batteries is governed by the connected load. The voltage of the batteries can be one of two voltages. in parallel the 8 batteries will give you a voltage of 6 volts. In series the 8 batteries will give you a voltage of 48 volts. The amp/hour capacity of the batteries will give you the amount of current the device can draw over a specific length of time. Equation to fine amperage is I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. Watts = Amps x Volts.
