The MSH-M Series combines the energy from both sources to power loads. This allows the inverter to recharge the batteries when there is surplus power or deliver more power to the loads if they require more than the AC input can supply by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Profile Presets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUsing the ME-RC or ME-ARC Remote Controls, easily choose from and

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start. Their starting power is the same as their running power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"r-faqs--faq-toggle s-read-more j-faqs--toggle\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eHow do \"surge power\" electrical loads affect DC-AC inverter operation?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf an inverter cannot efficiently feed the surge power, it may simply shut down instead of starting the device.

Please note that the surge power of the microwave is not as long as the motor load and hence, the surge power of the inverter can be considered to determine adequacy of meeting the starting surge power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"r-faqs--faq-toggle s-read-more j-faqs--toggle\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eHow should I size my DC-AC inverter to power a water supply pump?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA water well or pressure pump often places the greatest demand on the inverter. It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer. If you do not already have a pump installed, you can get a 120 volt pump if you don’t need more than 1\/2 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eWhat is \"idle power\" in a DC-AC inverter?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"What-is-idle-power-in-a-DC-AC-inverter\" class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdle power is the consumption of the inverter when it is on, but no loads are running.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge. If in doubt, feel the device. If it’s warm, that indicates wasted energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eCan a standard DC-AC inverter be connected in parallel with another AC source\/ DC-AC inverter \/ electrical utility?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Can-a-standard-DC-AC-inverter-be-connected-in-parallel-with-another-AC-source-DC-AC-inverter-electrical-utility\" class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AC output of standard inverters cannot be synchronised with another AC source and hence, it is not suitable for paralleling.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC.

Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

Please note that the surge power of the microwave is not as long as the motor load and hence, the surge power of the inverter can be considered to determine adequacy of meeting the starting surge power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"r-faqs--faq-toggle s-read-more j-faqs--toggle\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eHow should I size my DC-AC inverter to power a water supply pump?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA water well or pressure pump often places the greatest demand on the inverter. It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer. If you do not already have a pump installed, you can get a 120 volt pump if you don’t need more than 1\/2 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eWhat is \"idle power\" in a DC-AC inverter?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\" id=\"What-is-idle-power-in-a-DC-AC-inverter\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdle power is the consumption of the inverter when it is on, but no loads are running.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge. If in doubt, feel the device.

At low power, fans run at about 30% speed and adjust based on output or PV input power. They are speed-controlled and generally run under 60 dBa, with around 35 dBa at 30% speed.

Match the battery bank's nominal voltage with the inverter's (e.g., 24 Vdc battery bank for a 24 Vdc inverter). The practical size limits are influenced by system size, budget, and space. The minimum recommended size is 200 Ah of battery capacity per PSW-H for lead-based batteries.

It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start. Their starting power is the same as their running power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"r-faqs--faq-toggle s-read-more j-faqs--toggle\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eHow do \"surge power\" electrical loads affect DC-AC inverter operation?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf an inverter cannot efficiently feed the surge power, it may simply shut down instead of starting the device.

Please note that the surge power of the microwave is not as long as the motor load and hence, the surge power of the inverter can be considered to determine adequacy of meeting the starting surge power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"r-faqs--faq-toggle s-read-more j-faqs--toggle\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eHow should I size my DC-AC inverter to power a water supply pump?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA water well or pressure pump often places the greatest demand on the inverter. It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer. If you do not already have a pump installed, you can get a 120 volt pump if you don’t need more than 1\/2 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eWhat is \"idle power\" in a DC-AC inverter?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\" id=\"What-is-idle-power-in-a-DC-AC-inverter\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdle power is the consumption of the inverter when it is on, but no loads are running.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge. If in doubt, feel the device. If it’s warm, that indicates wasted energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eCan a standard DC-AC inverter be connected in parallel with another AC source\/ DC-AC inverter \/ electrical utility?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\" id=\"Can-a-standard-DC-AC-inverter-be-connected-in-parallel-with-another-AC-source-DC-AC-inverter-electrical-utility\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AC output of standard inverters cannot be synchronised with another AC source and hence, it is not suitable for paralleling.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer. If you do not already have a pump installed, you can get a 120 volt pump if you don’t need more than 1\/2 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eWhat is \"idle power\" in a DC-AC inverter?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\" id=\"What-is-idle-power-in-a-DC-AC-inverter\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdle power is the consumption of the inverter when it is on, but no loads are running.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines.

Its power output is rated in Watts.  There are two levels of power rating -a continuous rating and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of Watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating. The “surge power” indicates the power to handle instantaneous overload of a few seconds to provide the higher power required to start certain type of devices and appliances.  Resistive types of loads (like incandescent lamps, toaster, coffee maker, electric range, iron etc) do not require extra power to start.

Please note that the surge power of the microwave is not as long as the motor load and hence, the surge power of the inverter can be considered to determine adequacy of meeting the starting surge power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"r-faqs--faq-toggle s-read-more j-faqs--toggle\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eHow should I size my DC-AC inverter to power a water supply pump?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA water well or pressure pump often places the greatest demand on the inverter. It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during start up. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge (If the exact starting rating is not available, the starting surge can be taken as 3 times the normal running rating of the pump). Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, most pumps (especially submersibles) run on 240 VAC, while smaller appliances and lights use 120 VAC. To obtain 240 VAC from a 120 VAC inverter, use a 120 VAC to 240 VAC transformer. If you do not already have a pump installed, you can get a 120 volt pump if you don’t need more than 1\/2 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eWhat is \"idle power\" in a DC-AC inverter?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\" id=\"What-is-idle-power-in-a-DC-AC-inverter\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdle power is the consumption of the inverter when it is on, but no loads are running.

Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little loads are called “phantom loads” because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar concern is “idling loads.” These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge. If in doubt, feel the device. If it’s warm, that indicates wasted energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"r-faqs--faq-question j-faqs--question\"\u003eCan a standard DC-AC inverter be connected in parallel with another AC source\/ DC-AC inverter \/ electrical utility?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq j-faqs--single\" id=\"Can-a-standard-DC-AC-inverter-be-connected-in-parallel-with-another-AC-source-DC-AC-inverter-electrical-utility\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r-faqs--faq-answer j-faqs--answer open\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AC output of standard inverters cannot be synchronised with another AC source and hence, it is not suitable for paralleling.
