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.


When Metal is drawn out into a wire is it a chemical change or physical change?

When metal is drawn out into a wire, it is a physical change. This process involves altering the shape and form of the metal without changing its chemical composition. The metal retains its properties, such as conductivity and malleability, even after being transformed into wire.

How many amps fuse you need for 6000 watts inverter?

You failed to state the input voltage. To calculate the amps, use the formula: Amps * Volts = Watts X * volts = 6000 (If we guess at 12 Volts) X * 12 = 6000 X = 6000/12 X = 500 Which is a pretty big fuses, but to make matters worse, you would need to add about 10% or more for power lost to the inefficiency of the inverter. A 600 Amp fuse is an industrial device; hope you're planning on expensive. <<>> The 6000 watt rating will be the output wattage usually at 120 volts. 6000/120 = 50 amps. If the output is a three wire output at 240 volts the amperage will be 25 amps. For a 50 amp circuit a #6 copper conductor will be needed from a 60 amp breaker. For a 25 amp circuit a #10 copper conductor will be needed 30 amp breaker.

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 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.
