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. Using a liquid analogy, watts are similar to liquid flow such as liters or gallons. One watt hour of electricity is equal to one watt of power being consumed for one hour. Enter the best source for your power inverter information, products, Inverter Power Systems and accessories.
