AC Watts vs DC Watts
Are the rated inverter AC watts just V*A or are they an RMS average? And would the DC wattage required to drive the inverter's AC watts equal the AC Watts? (less efficiency losses) Elsewhere I'm...

Elsewhere I'm reading that a 1000W AC inverter actually needs 1414W DC (+ efficiency correction) because the AC watts are a Root Mean Square average.
:h
Its only a DC to AC conversion and its efficiency.
Analysing ac amps converted to DC amps would be a mute point. What analogy would you gain from such a calculation?
