AI Thread Summary
A 12V deep cycle battery connected to a 300W inverter can support multiple appliances as long as their combined wattage does not exceed the inverter's capacity. For example, appliances consuming 100W and 150W can run simultaneously without issues, totaling 250W. However, if the combined wattage exceeds 300W, such as with a 150W and 200W appliance, a higher wattage inverter is necessary. The battery simply provides power to the appliances, so understanding the total wattage is crucial for safe operation. Proper inverter selection ensures efficient and safe use of multiple devices.

Hi friends :)

I was wondering... I have a 12V deep cycle battery which I have connected to a 300W 12V DC-240V AC. Now if I were to plug multiple different appliances into it at the same time would I be right in saying that, for example, if I had an appliance that consumed 100W and another that consumed 150W they could run through this set up with no problems? and, say, if I had an appliance that consumed 150W and another that consumed 200W would I be right in saying I would need an inverter with higher wattage?
Or is there more to it than that?

thanks
Tina

Nope, simple as that: you are correct in your understanding of how wattages add.
 
hello lovely girl

the battery is just supporting the appliance,so you only need an inverter above 300W 12V DC-240V AC,that the diffierent appliance can working in the same time .

hope my reply can help you
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
