I would not go below a 200 watt unit. Not that the system draws that much power, but these systems do not like being loaded down. Over rating the unit decreases the chances that this is a problem.
Most of the smaller inverters are square wave systems or modified sine wave units. They are very hard on switching supplies and can cause computer damage.

What size of an inverter generator would you need to run a MacBook Pro?
Look on the AC power adapter and read its rating in watts. You will need an inverter with at least that output capacity.
How many watt DC to AC converter do you need to run a 6 amp power tool?
The formula for watts (or power) is Amps times voltage. Therefore with a 6 amp draw times 120 volts would be about 720 watts. A 1000 watt power inverter would do the job.
How many watts in a 320 volt dishwasher?
The rated voltage of an appliance is no guide to its power rating. To find out the power (watts), you will need to look at your washing machine's nameplate, which will indicate both its rated voltage and its rated power.
What size power inverter should you use for 7.4V tablet?
Your question only makes sense to me if you want to use the AC-powered charger that came with your tablet and somehow run it with DC because otherwise you wouldn't need an inverter. Normally you plug your AC-powered charger into the 117 volt 60 hertz AC power socket (in the USA, not in Europe or elsewhere abroad) at home or office or wherever. An "inverter" creates AC output power from DC input power. Say you're in your car. The "cigarette" lighter supplies nominally 12 volts DC, though it's more like 13.6 volts DC when the engine is running and powering the alternator. You can't power your tablet directly with that -- the voltage is too high. You could use the "12 volts" to power an inverter that produces 60 hertz, 117 volts AC and then plug your AC-powered tablet charger into that. Then all you need to know is how much AC power the inverter can provide. I've measured the power needed to charge my android (Vizio) tablet. The AC-powered charger needs about 10 watts of power. That's a very light load for an inverter, so I reckon just about any inverter should work.
How many watts does a small car need?
Ignition 30 watts, fans 30 watts, driving lights 30 watts, headlights 100 watts. Total about 200 watts.
What size of an inverter generator would you need to run a MacBook Pro?
Look on the AC power adapter and read its rating in watts. You will need an inverter with at least that output capacity.
How many amps do you need in a relay for a 2000 watt RMS 4000 peak power inverter?
Amps x volts equals watts...200 amps at 12 volts would be 2400 watts...add a few more because. the inverter efficiency is not 100 percent...
What size inverter do you need to go from ac to dc for a Kenmore model 16562 chest freezer?
A: It not size but rather capacity. the capacity will be the ac power consumption AC volts X AC current that will get Watts. So the capacity of the inverter should be the same watts plus a safety and efficiency power if the watts is 100 watts i would buy a 125 watts minimum
What appliances will 800 watt inverter power?
You need to determine the wattage of each device and they need to add up to be lower than 800 watts.
Will a Schumacher X141DU inverter power your Dell Latitude D810 Laptop?
Read your power listing on the Dell; it could be on the back of the computer, or many times it is on the 'wart' part of your power chord (also can be on the manual). that will tell you how many watts pull you have. The Schumacher does 410 watts continuous, and 800 peak (not reading the manual, but just looking 'as advertised,' though you could look deeper into that) and the watts pull on your dell would need to be below the 410 continuous (which I am sure it is). The 'startup' sometimes could be two to three times the continuous 'watts pulled' by your dell. You should be fine with this inverter, but read the manual of the car you are using because usually they tell you how many watts draw is the maximum on the system off of your cigarette lighters. My max on my car is 160 watts. If your dell is above the watts max off your car system, you can consider 'hardwiring' it straight to your battery with a 'inverter cable kit' that has 10 ft inverter cables with 4 gauge wire to permanently install your inverter in your car.
How many watt DC to AC converter do you need to run a 6 amp power tool?
The formula for watts (or power) is Amps times voltage. Therefore with a 6 amp draw times 120 volts would be about 720 watts. A 1000 watt power inverter would do the job.
Which kind of inverter is needed to run a table fan?
The voltage and frequency should be marked on the fan. This should match the voltage and frequency of the power coming out of the inverter. The inverter also has be capable of supplying anough power (in watts).
Is there any way that I can set up my xbox 360 in the car?
get X-zibit to pimp your ride EDIT: Yes, you need to buy a power inverter capable of supplying power to both your XBOX and your TV. The XBOX 360 draws around 200 watts, and many LCD TV's these days draw around 30-40 watts. Both these numbers are RMS, while inverters are typcially sold labeled as Peak, which is double RMS for the same value. So search for an inverter with a peak power of 500 watts or an RMS of 250 watts, or more.
How many watt inverter do you need to run an aircon?
To determine the wattage of the inverter needed to run an air conditioner, first check the air conditioner's power consumption, typically measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). Most residential air conditioners range from 1,000 to 4,000 watts, depending on their capacity. It's advisable to choose an inverter with a capacity 20-30% higher than the air conditioner's rated wattage to account for startup surges and ensure reliable operation. For example, if your air conditioner uses 2,000 watts, an inverter with at least 2,400 to 2,600 watts capacity would be suitable.
Can you run an amplifier with a power inverter?
Most likely yes depending on your inverter and how long you run it. I have done it once before. I ran a sub woofer and a PA horn in my dad's work van for fun. Ran it for about a half hour. It was a 1000 watt inverter on a 700cca battery. The amplifier was bridged to 150 watts RMS. If you run more power you might need a bigger inverter. Out inverter also has circuitry that filters out noise.
How do you figure out how big of a power inverter to use?
Determining Size of Power Inverter NeededGenerally power inverters are designated by how much power they are capable of putting out. Usually this is indicated in Watts, which is a universally accepted unit of power measurement.For example, I have a 120 Volt / 1,000 Watt inverter which I use with my 12 Volt pickup truck battery. That one thousand watt specification indicates that it will operate a 120 Volt electrical device that uses 1,000 Watts [or less]. Commonly, to save line space, the Wattage is expressed in Kilowatt [Kw] units, with 1Kw meaning 1,000 Watts. Thus, you will see various designators such as 1.2 Kw [1,200 Watts], or 3Kw [3,000 Watts], etc.To determine what size inverter you need, it is necessary to carefully examine the ID labels on the electrical devices that you want, or may want, to power from the inverter.Usually these labels or decals will specify their voltage and wattage, BUT SOMETIMES they will not specify Wattage, instead giving an Amperage [Amps] rating. You can convert this Amperage draw info into Watts by multiplying the Volts [for example, 125 Volts] times the Amps [for example 10 Amps] to calculate the Watts [thus 1,250 Watts in this example].Thus knowing the Wattage demand of your appliances or electrical devices, you can decide which ones, and their total wattage demand, and thus the size of the power inverter you need.Remember that the inverter does not have to be large enough to operate all the devices at the same time, just the sum Wattage of the most heavy power users you would want to use at the same time.
How many watt power inverter is required to run a 1hp 110v motor?
Need to know the running amp draw. Starting amps would be useful l too. The average amp draw for a simple 1hp motor is about 7 amps, such as a fan motor. Ohms law says amps times voltage = watts, so 7 amp times 120v=840 watts. Consider that starting amperage is about 1-1/2 times running load, starting watts would be about 1200. You would need about a 1200 watt inverter to run that motor.
