I noticed this information listed with one of the inverters I was looking at
"Please do not overload. If your applications are inductive loads, please choose the inverters whose continuous power is 3-7 times higher than the watts of your appliances"
Would this be applicable if my fishhouse? I'm n ot sure what inductive loads are. I would be running 2-3 9 watt LED bulbs, two led TV's, a satellite receiver and possibly ceiling fan.
I know some have said that I need a fan that runs on DC, but we need to ceiling fan to push the heat down on cold nights to keep the holes from freezing up.
As I may have stated earlier, I used a $39 northern tool 750 watt modified sine inverter that lasted two years. I ran the battery until it was out of charge. Not sure if this would have killed my inverter or if it was the cheap price. This time I will get a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter with two batteries running parallel.
Will the 3X rule apply to me?
