Inverter Specifications and Data Sheet
This article will discuss inverter peak power, why it is essential, how it compares to continuous power, and other information you need to know.
1. What is inverter peak power Peak power, also called peak surge power, refers to the maximum power that the power supply can achieve in a short period of time, which usually only lasts about 30 seconds. Under normal circumstances, the peak power of the power supply can exceed about 50% of the maximum output power.
A: The peak power of an inverter generally only lasts for a few seconds, usually between 1 and 5 seconds, depending on the model and design. It is designed to cope with transient surges when an appliance starts, not for long periods. Understand the key differences between inverter peak power and rated power.
Power inverters come in many specifications, which usually include rated power and inverter peak power. Rated power is continuous output power, which refers to the power that the inverter can keep working for a long time.
Rated power is continuous output power, which refers to the power that the inverter can keep working for a long time. Inverter peak power also means the starting power, which is generally twice the rated power, mainly used to meet the instantaneous peak value when individual household appliances are started.
