How it works

  1. 112V current = out ÷ 12V ÷ 0.85 = 100 ÷ 12 ÷ 0.85 = 9.8 A
  2. 2Max output = 15A × 12V × 0.85 = 153 W
  3. 3Safe line = fuse × 80% = 12 A
  4. 4Runtime = 30Ah ÷ 9.8A = 3h 4min

Socket fuse ratings are typically 10/15/20 A (120/180/240 W at 12V) — check your fuse box; a "200W" unit on a 15A socket blows the fuse on the spot.

Keep continuous load within 80% of the fuse rating; inverters above ~150 W should be wired directly to the battery with thick cables.

Never run big loads with the engine off — a 60Ah battery at half depth (~30Ah) is all you should use; frequent deep discharge kills starter batteries.

Pure sine wave is required for motors and precision electronics; peak power is 1.5-2× rated — mind startup surges of fridges and pumps.
