What is the difference between the rated power and peak power of an inverter?

The rated output power is the continuous output power, which refers to the output power of the inverter under the rated voltage and current. It is the power that can be continuously and stably output for a long time. Peak power, also called maximum power, refers to the maximum power value that the inverter can output in a very short time (usually within 20ms).

 

The rated output power is the continuous output power, which refers to the output power of the inverter under the rated voltage and current. It is the power that can be continuously and stably output for a long time.

Peak power, also called maximum power, refers to the maximum power value that the inverter can output in a very short time (usually within 20ms).

Peak power is usually 2-3 times the rated power.

Some electrical appliances or tools that use electric motors, such as refrigerators, washing machines, electric drills, etc., require a large current to push them at the moment of startup. Only when the peak output power reaches the peak power of the appliance, can the appliance start normally. Once started successfully, only a small current is required to maintain its normal operation. As long as the rated output power reaches the power required for stable operation of the appliance, the appliance can operate normally.

When purchasing an lolsolar inverter, the reference value of the rated power is relatively large. If your electrical appliances consume a total of 1,000 watts such as fans and televisions, then you need to purchase an inverter with a rated power of more than 1,000 watts. However, if the electrical appliance is an inductive load with a motor, the starting power of the electrical appliance must be considered when selecting the capacity of the inverter.
