Thanks again Zippo,
I cannot help it if you see only what you want to see.
Did you see "12 volts @ 16 watts = 1.33 amps" ?
His question was about running 240v through an inverter and some equation to find out what it would be.
Hence
240volts @ 16 watts = 0.066 amps plus the inverter losses.
so with 20% for the loss through the inverter 240 v @ 20 watts = 0.083 amps
The calculations are just that calculations. This is what the OP asked for.
There are sufficient people on here with opinions who can fill in gaps, Bantam did so with "conversion loss and that some
inverters will have more than 16 watts idling consumption".
Allan B has said basically the same thing, although he has said he wouldn't do it.
Again I offered no opinion either way. I don't see anywhere in the
forum rules where I must offer an opinion, or one that suits you.
Deal with it.
