THE INVERTER

The Inverter:

The DC To AC Inverter is the most important piece of equipment that your power plant will use.
Special consideration needs to be taken when selecting a power inverter. Every appliance has a 
Watt rating and as one assumes so does the inverter. When selecting an inverter, one has to
decide what appliances are going to be hooked up to the inverter. For example, a typical
refrigerator is rated at 750 watts @ 6.0 amps- A TV may be about 350 watts depending on the
size and specifications. Remember, you cannot exceed the rated watts of the inverter: The above 
listed inverter will handle up to 2000 watts not 4000. The 4000 watt rating means it will handle a 
surge up to 4000 watts. You should do your homework when selecting an inverter.
