Inverter Power Specifications
|
|
|
|
How much usable power do inverters really give you? This question is much
|
|
harder to answer than it might seem. The main problem is that we don't have
|
|
a commonly accepted rating standard. For example, we call the Trace 2012 a
|
|
2000 watt inverter but actually it will only do 2000 watts for up to 30
|
|
minutes. The continuous rating is only about 1340 watts. Both Heart & Trace
|
|
600 watt inverters have continuous ratings of only 400 watts. Even
|
|
"continuous ratings" have different standards. According to a Heart
|
|
inverter graph, the 1200W model has a continuous rating of about 1000
|
|
watts. According to the UL method of rating, the continuous output for this
|
|
inverter is only 750 watts. Our new Dimensions Inverters are all rated
|
|
according to this strict UL standard and we hope it will become a standard
|
|
used by all companies.
