| Appliance Name | Appliance Wattage |
|---|---|
| Refrigerator | 800W (surge power: 1300W) |
| 55″ LED TV | 100W |
| Water Cooler | 100W |
| Laptop | 60W |
| 2 Phone Chargers | 30W x 2 = 60W |
| Total: | 1120W |
Now by looking at the total needed power at the peak hour, you will notice that I will need 1120W of power, and my 1600W inverter must not be fully loaded. Loading your inverter fully might lead to destroying it or electric failure. For this, we will be loading 80% of its total rated power (1500W x 0.8 = 1200W).
This means that my inverter will be able to run safely during the peak hour and run the total load without any problem (1120W < 1200W). But what about the surge power of the refrigerator? Let’s consider the worst scenario: All the other loads were running except the refrigerator, and then I powered it.
