Look on the AC power adapter and read its rating in watts. You will need an inverter with at least that output capacity.

What size 12 volt battery would you need to run a 1000 watt inverter for 15 minutes?

When using the Inverter the CCU can be adapted to the users needs. A regular 12 volt battery would work on any small devices.


What inverter would you need to run 600watt light and could also put a heavy duty battery charger on to charge the battery bk up that runs the inverter in the first place and can it be done free power?

There is no free power. Inverters always waste some power; they are not 100% efficient. You can't take as much power out of a battery as you put in to it.


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.


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.


Can a transformer be used to power a deep fridge from a generator?

You power "type" must match. Most likely your generator should be able to have the fridge plug directly in, but you may indeed need a transformer to step the voltage up or down.

Can a inverter generator be home built?

Yes, an inverter generator can be built at home. However, you would need a small engine to start, and a cover to keep anything from getting inside the engine.


Does a rectifier have the ability to convert DC to AC?

No. For that, you need an inverter or a generator.


What converts direct current to alternating current?

To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.


What size power inverter do you need for a laser printer?

You need at least 6 times the wattage. Call Samlex.com. This is for the surge and heat fuser. This is too expensive so I am going for a portable generator.


Could works a 500 watts of power and 3 phases motor with a wind generator?

Yes, but it would have to be a pretty big and expensive wind generator. You would need an inverter to produce at least 500 watts of 3 phase power. Unless you also had some big batteries, you could only run your motor when the wind is blowing!


What size gas generator shoud you use for 55200 watts?

You would need at the minimum a 56 KW generator. In reality you would need a 60KW.


How much would a Yamaha generator cost?

Prices vary for a Yamaha Generator depending on the size of the generator. The more wattage involved, the more you will need to pay. First you need to determine the size of generator you need then contact a local retailer.


How is alternative current prodused in a battery?

A battery by itself will only supply DC output. You would need a method to convert DC to AC, such as an inverter, in simplified terms: an electronic circuit which has an oscillator to create the desired frequency then amplifies it to the desired magnitude output. Another way, which I don't know if used anymore, is a motor-generator set. A DC motor's shaft is connected to an AC generator's shaft, and the output is taken from the AC generator.


Is a gas generator better than electric?

The purpose of a generator is to generate electricity. An electric generator would be redundant. It would need electricity to make electricity and when there is a power outage there is not electricity.


If you have a 800 watt inverter will it run a 110volt cooler?

Depends on the wattage of the cooler. 800 watts would be a small cooler I think. You need to check the cooler specification before connecting it to the inverter.
