Series Wiring - A group of electrical devices, such as batteries or PV modules, wired together to increase voltage, while ampacity remains constant. Sine Wave - The output wave form of an electric generator or utility. A smooth wave going above and below zero is created. This wave form is also produced by sine wave inverters such as the Trace SW and CO-Sine series. The amount of current an inverter can deliver for short periods of time.
Most electric motors draw up to three times their rated current when starting.
Most Trace inverters have surge capacities at least three times their continuous ratings. Volts - A unit of measure of the pressure in an electrical circuit. Volts are a measure of electric potential. A quantitative measurement of electrical power. Watts are calculated by multiplying volts times amps.
