GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR ALLSPARK
®
INVERTER
When a motorized appliance or a tool turns on, there is almost always an initial surge of power to start up. This surge
of power is referred to as the "starting load" or "peak load". Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to
operate. This is referred to as the "Continuous Load". This information is usually stamped or printed on most
appliances and equipment or can calculated as per below:
Multiply:
AC AMPS
X
230
(AC voltage) =
WATTS
To determine the current draw from your batteries, you take the
WATTS
that you device draws /12 volts to give you the
DC amps.
This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your appliance.
Multiply:
WATTS
X
2
= Approximate starting load for most appliances
This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load of most appliances. Exceptions are motorized appliances
such as pumps, freezers and air conditioners. These appliances can have peak startup loads of up to 8 times the rated
continuous load.
