One 150 watt inverter reports 0.2 Amps (=approx 2.4watts)
Another inverter (180 watts?) reported 0.4 Amps
If you find a fairly complete spec sheet, it may tell you the Amps or Watts that it uses under "No Load".
I'm the originator of the question, and I discovered the "additional" specs.

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.
What wire should you use for your 2500 watt inverter?
To answer this question have to know the voltage you are using.
Do higher watt inverters drain batteries more than lower watt?
The inverter draws little current on its own. It is the load that is connected to the inverter. If there were no load on the inverter you could use an ampmeter to determine the no load current. One thing to consider is that a higher wattage inverter would have larger gauge wire which is of lower resistance. This could make the no load current lower for the higher wattage inverter. Bottom line is you would have to measure or have a specification on the no load current.
How would you use batteries in a radio?
Usually, radios have a slot at the back or bottom where you can insert batteries (Often AA). If it does not have a slot, and isn't solar powered or anything, then contact the radio manufacturer, who will tell you how to use batteries. If the radio has to be plugged into a socket outlet and has no slots for any batteries, then the only way you can use batteries to supply it with power is to use an electronic power inverter unit. Several types are available. The most common can use a 12 volt battery and has a socket outlet into which you can plug the radio.
What Vcv Stands For in Electronics?
if you are reffering to Vcc than it means- It is the positive power supply used for TTL gates it is nothing but simple dc power supply. if we use CMOS than we use Vdd for indicating power supply these are method for indicating power supply.
What is the use of IC 7414?
this IC is used as a regulated power supply A: DEFINITELY not it is an hex Schmidt trigger inverter function is Y=A inverter
WHAT IS THE Difference between an inverter and UPS?
In UPS ,the main power comes to the UPS and is used to charge a battery inside. The output from the battery is fed into a sine wave inverter which converts DC into AC and feeds to the computer in case of a power failure. In such a scenario, the battery is stopped from charging and instantly starts to supply power to the computer. In Inverter ,AC is converted into DC and then is used to charge the battery. When the power supply goes off, the relay triggers the switch from mains to inverter. It is the use of a sensor and a relay that is the main difference between a UPS and an inverter, otherwise the two are same. And the use of relay and sensor cause the time delay in power supply from an inverter.
What is a solar inverter?
Solar inverter modifies the electricity from the solar panels and changes it to power the appliances in a house. This inverter has a special feature that can adapt for use with photovoltaic arrays.
The purpose of a Cobra inverter is what?
A Cobra power inverter changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It takes battery power and inverts it so that common household appliances can use the power.
How can a 12 volt battery inverter give power to a house?
An inverter converts direct current into alternating current. An inexpensive 12 volt inverter is often used to convert 12 volt direct current from a battery to 120 volt alternating current to power small household appliances during a power failure. More expensive inverter systems with large batteries are also available for use with solar panels, wind generators, or other non-commercial power sources.
Mechanism of how a ceiling fan can be used to run an inverter.?
u can connect a dynamo to the head of the cieling fan tht rotates it and generates power...u can use it to charge some rechargable batteris and cells ..but i dont think u can use a cieling fan to inverter..:(

How can you change the 6 volt dc into 220 volt ac?
USE INVERTER USE INVERTER USE INVERTER
How much voltage does a 14 inch laptop screen use?
A laptop's screen uses something called an inverter to transform DC voltage into AC for the backlight. The inverter can take from 5V to 20V DC directly from the laptop's power supply and transform it into 5-20V AC for use with the backlight.
How single EX-OR gate can be used as inverter?
tie one input to permanent 1 level, use other input as inverter input.
Which is used to convert DC to ac?
A power switching circuit called an inverter. You could also use an electromechanical motor-generator: DC motor turning an alternator.
What is a 400 watt power inverter?
A inverter is what makes you be able to go from dc to AC. Usually a 400 watt inverter goes in a vehicle while a 5000 is typical for homes. If you wanted to use a laptop on electric only in your car... you would plug the inverter into the cig. lighter outlet in the car and your laptop into the inverter. Hope that helps!
