At a typical 80% efficiency and 0.7 power factor, a maxed-out 60 amp converter will draw over 1,500 VA, and a maxed-out 75 amp converter over 1,900 VA. You can get away with higher than 60 amps on an eu2000i if you're willing to make sure the battery doesn't get highly discharged, cut other loads when necessary, and/or manually kick the converter out of boost mode when necessary. If you really need the bigger converter, a power factor corrected model might be justified.
Thanks . . . . good info. I am not sure, but I think that you are saying to get the 70-75 amp converter.
How do I manually kick out the boost mode on a converter? Is that a special option on some converters?
We don't boondog much, but I have a Harbor Freight 3000 generator, and I plan on doing some boondogging where I will need to use the generator.
I went through Bend 40 years ago, and fell in love with it. I remember one gas station and one diner. A guy at the diner said he shot a buck off of his porch. I returned to Bend 15 years later, and decided to look elsewhere.
