A 1000 watt converter can power a variety of small appliances such as laptops, phone chargers, TVs, light bulbs, and small kitchen appliances like blenders or coffee makers. It may not be able to power larger appliances like refrigerators or air conditioners.
If the transformer uses 5 watts per hour you need to know what you are paying per 1000 watts from your power company. If you pay lets say $3.00 for 1000 watts then when your transformer burns 1000 watts it cost you $3.00 your cost will be $3.00 for 200 hours run time.
Two formulas are needed to calculate the answer:[Energy (watt-hours)] = [Power usage rate (watts)]? x [Time (hours)]and[Power usage rate (watts)] = [Voltage (volts)] x [Current (amps)]?
To determine the cost of running an appliance for a day, week, or year, you need to know its wattage and the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kWh). For example, if an appliance uses 1000 watts (1 kW) and electricity costs $0.12 per kWh, it would cost about $1.20 to run for 10 hours in a day, $8.40 for a week, and $436.80 for a year. Simply multiply the appliance's wattage by the hours used, convert to kW, and then multiply by the cost of electricity to find the total.
Absolutely not. I think it is possible, but it depends on how many Amps [or Watts] the refrigerator draws [uses], AND the sustained output [Amps or Watts] that the converter is capable of producing. For example, if the converter was rated for a sustained/continuous output of 10 Amps at 120 Volts [that's 1200 Watts], and the refrigerator requires only 6 Amps at 120 Volts [that's 720 Watts], then I say the converter can safely operate the refrigerator.Answer 3 -- Watt?Are you thinking of running a 120 volt refrigerator from a car battery? Back up to "absolutely not". There are RV refrigerators that can run for a short time from a car battery (preferably a deep-cycle type), but they can barely keep the fridge cool under the best of circumstances.Unless the engine is running, the battery will be drained in a couple of hours. If the battery is a deep-cycle, you can recharge it; if not, you'll have to buy a new battery.Also, if the fridge requires 720 watts and the converter is only 50% efficient, it's sucking 1500 watts from the battery, which is a lot more than leaving the headlights on. Even the little "six pack" coolers that run on 12 volts will run a battery down pretty quickly unless the engine is running. Try using an ice chest.
converters are usually listed in Watts output- sometimes with a surge wattage about 2 times the normal running wattage- motors usually have a surge need to start and then even out- so assuming this motor runs at 14amp= Watts = volts X amps, you should need 1540 watt converter- 2000 watt converter to be safe

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.

You may be able to get away with powering a natural gas stove or LPG stove on this wattage because it doesn't use heavy amperage to pull the surface ignitor to 1200 degrees or to run the sparkers which are only lit momentarily, however on an electric stove you would need 1000 watts or 3000 watts if you're trying to use a power converter off a 12v battery or something of that nature. It's probably not a good idea. You need a good 220 outlet for an electric stove.
Depending on the size of the TV, somewhere between 0.3 and 0.7 KW. The nameplate of the TV usually lists the watts, divide watts by 1000 to get KW.

Kilo simply means 1000. Volt-ampere (VA) is a measure of power, similar to the watt. Volt is a measure of voltage, or electrical pressure. Voltage means electricity is available, but unless it is actually used, no current (amperes) flows, and no work (power) is done. Suppose you have a motor that needs 1000 volts to run, and when it is on it draws one ampere (amp) of current. We would say the motor supply voltage is one kilovolt. When the motor is running, we would say it uses one kilovolt-ampere (1KVA) of power (1 ampere * 1000 volts = 1000 VA or 1 KVA).
1000 watts per hour is a kilowatt hour and is usually 10 cents
No, a 500 watt solar panel may not be able to run a 500 watt appliance continuously, as factors such as efficiency losses, battery storage, and variations in sunlight intensity can impact the ability of the solar panel to consistently provide 500 watts of power. It is recommended to use a larger solar panel or incorporate a battery storage system to ensure reliable power supply to the appliance.
400 W HPS bulb: actual wattage pull would be around 440-480 watts when it is on
