adding more solar panel & battery?

I have a question please help! I just bought the complete 45 watt solar kit from harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=90599

That charge controller is notoriously cheap and burns up easily. If you are going add solar panels, also buy another charge controller to go with them. They can both be connected to the same battery bank. I don't believe the kit comes with batteries, so you would buy whatever size 12V battery bank your power requirements call for.

The size of the inverter depends entirely on what you are going to power with it, not the size of the panel array. As long as you are not powering anything that is over the 300W rating, you don't need a new one. Just be sure to check the details of the inverter, is it 300W continuous, or can it handle up to a 300W surge? Also, it's a modified sine wave inverter instead of a pure sine wave inverter, so don't plug any sensitive electronics into it. They may not work, or you may get a buzz or hum from it.

Accessories For Your Pickup Truck

Irrespective of the fact whether you use it for play or for work, you can always accessorize your pickup truck to make it perform as well as look better. All the brand outlets of GMC, Dodge, Chevy, Mazda, Nissan, Ford etc sell accessories for their products but if you need a more expansive choice of accessories and plan to get a better bargain, then you should perhaps visit merchant websites that sell pickup truck accessories.

Apart from the brands of the trucks themselves, Dee Zee, Vector, Wolo, Thule, Saddleman, Grizzly, Protecta, Pilot, Hoppy and many other popular companies are also out there in the market who sell good pickup truck accessories. When planning to enhance and modify your truck from the outside, you have the choice of installing air dams, splash guards, wiper cowls, roll pans, grille guards, hood ornaments, truck steps, tire covers, wings, visors, emblems, decals and so much more.

However, if your modification purpose is oriented towards the interior beauty and comfort of your pickup truck, then try any of these: cargo trays, liners, 12 volt accessories, consoles, dash covers, floor mats, panel covers, seat and steering wheel covers, cruise controls, GPS systems, GMRS radio, inverters, security systems, radar, laser detectors, stereo music system, satellite radios and even more! Not all the accessories are required for everybody but all of them are fun and enjoyable to the fullest.

After mentioning all the fancy accessories, now let me mention some of the more useful accessories that will aid you in your effort as a pickup truck driver. Tonneau covers, cargo control, hitch balls, hitch covers, hitch mount, hitch wiring, tow hooks, winches, vent visor, visor, wheel well trim, window covers, windshield wiper, wiper cowls and related accessories. Add a few o these to make a journey which will be much easier and safer: bars, arms, shackles, lowering kits, lifting kits, shocks, struts, trusses, springs, skid plates, hubs. Choose some these accessories and you will only be making your ride safer and your job easier.

You can actually add a variety of lights to your pickup truck to make it look so much better, not to mention make your truck safer. Fog lights, accent lighting, auxiliary lighting, interior lights, light bars, light covers and guards, marker lights, neon lights, spot lights, tow lights, warning lights and much more lighting options are available if you are looking for them.

If you have starting problems, then you should keep battery chargers, jump start systems and chassis wiring, but if you are experiencing exhaust problems, then try installing catalytic converters, exhaust tips and extensions, mufflers and headers among a lot of others. Even if you have a perfectly accessorized pick up truck, it won't be of much use if the basic functioning is not at its best, so install any or most of these if you need to.

Buy your set of accessories and get them installed but choose them well depending on three things, your needs, your wishes and your budget.

Only $299 for TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX Irons for sale and with free shipping

These TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX Irons easily replaced my previous R16 Calloway irons. The swing seems smoother, there is less temptation to swing hard and there is less twisting in my hands.These irons are amazing. They are consistantly long and forgiving. I've had Ping G-10, Callaway, Cobra, and several other brands and there is no comparison. Handicapers 80 and above will probably not be able to work these clubs without some help from a lesson or two and some practice, but I assure you that it can be done. If you are a serious golfer, you won't be dissapointed.Had you guess what it is.Now Look at the picture below:

Be clear now?Yes,it is TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX Iron Set.

Features of this clubs:

» Large, thin, high-strength steel clubface promotes high COR for faster ball speed and increased distance

» Extra-large clubhead with tungsten weights increases MOI for greater stability and forgiveness.

» SuperFast Technology reduces total club weight and promotes faster swing speed for added distance

» Inverted Cone Technology expands the high COR zone to promote higher ball speed on off-center hits for more distance shot to shot

» Hollow topline allows CG to be moved back deep in the clubhead for incredibly easy launch on a towering, distance-enhancing flight

Background

TaylorMade vowed to make the new r7 CGB MAX family of clubs to be the very best game-improvement equipment that money can buy, and the iron lives up to that promise. The extremely large head is optimally weighted with the help of visible tungsten weights that increase MOI for greater stability and forgiveness. The topline is hollow and the saved weight is used to move the CG deep into the clubhead to make it incredibly easy to launch the ball on a towering, distance-enhancing flight. Clubhead speed is dramatically boosted by the incorporation of SuperFast Technology, which includes the ultra-light shaft and the thin, flexible and fast clubface (thinner than the previous r7 CGB MAX model). There's also TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology, visible on the back of the face, to promote high ball speed on off-center hits. Finally, there's a new back-cavity badge that contributes to the clubhead's great feel.

When you add up all of the features and technologies you get the longest iron in the TaylorMade iron line, as well as the most forgiving. If this iron were any easier to hit it would swing itself. Moreover, the r7 CGB MAX wears its multiple technologies beautifully, meaning it looks the part of a highly technical, highly hittable iron and boasts a unique and eye-appealing look that successfully blends its high-tech leanings with power and with grace.

Electrical/Audio System 4.6L 2004 Ford F150?

I am installing a 1500 Watt Cobra inverter, and A 600 Watt RMS Audio System. Do I need to upgrade my factory alternator, add an aditional battery, increase the gages on the factory wiring from alternator to battery, or ground? Do I need seperate wires/fuses, 1 for my inverter, 1 for my sub amp, 1 for my speaker amp, and what gages? If not where do I tee off? What fuses will I need, and where in the line do I put them? Sub amp=400 watt RMS, Speaker amp=200 watts.
My head unit is factory, is there anyway to keep it that way, maybe with the JL audio "Cleansweep" system, and I want to hook up my Ipod, and Laptop via USB to my stereo? Is there any way to stay digital instead of using the rca-1/8th" headphone plug converters, and a Ground Loop Isolator & RCA Noise Filter? Thanks

I will try to answer this in understandable terms

Your inverter at max draw is determined on what and how many things running on it at one time.....although Cobra recommends a 200amp fuse only for the inverter....
by my calculations a total of 2100 continuous power (incl stereo) by 12.8Volts current equals 145.83 Amps of current draw......I =P/E

So 4gauge wire would just be enough to handle the current draw ( 2gauge would be recommended depending on length)

A second battery will only assist in engine off running time for the system and or inverter.....the only way to determine the best battery is by reserve time...not CCA...but deep cycle battery's can and will be able to withstand discharges much more then regular cycle battery's before complete failure.

As for your stock alternator on a 04 F150...stock is generally 95 Amp (hot rated) unless upgraded(towing) package was a feature on the truck ..then the alternator is 120A(hot)

So depending on what and how much current draw you are requiring at one time with inverter and or system or both at same time really determines the requirement of a new alternator....

Remember the current draw above at 146amp is the current requirement at max(continuous) together with both..The inverter and stereo running at the same time....

eg.stereo at max draw is about 45-50amp ( music is linear so this even will be in very short bursts)
inverter at max 100-200amp ( again only determined depending on the amperage draw of what you are running on the inverter at once)

a very good link to the FAQ of cobra invertors to decide battery and wire recommendations

Audiocontrol has a alternative to JL for OEM interface, look into the LC7

http://www.mobileaudiocontrol.com/dept.asp?d_id=17612&l1=17612

although I have not yet found a devise to plug USB from a laptop to devise that hooks into a factory OEM to stereo outputs for amp's

china mobile phone question

Now from different companies operating in china, the market is flooded with china mobiles. Their manuals come along in chinese.
For google translation softcopies are also not available.
Does anybody have english manuals for models like ZTC-n38, K915+, dual sim with TV MP3/MP4 players. 
I need GPRS settings and user manuals

It is really a pain to use internet/wap on those Chinese things, but it's easy if you want to use them as modems over USB/BlueTooth connection.
If you use BlueSoleil, you need to do nothing to connect to GPRS. For other BlueTooth stacks like Windows's itself or Toshiba, just set the dialing number to *99#.
For USB connection, you need to set the modem just as a standard modem and create dial up connection with the same dialing number.
For cases with BlueTooth stack other than BlueSoleil and USB connection, when the modem is set up, goto the model properties and on the advanced tab, set the following extra initialization commands and it will work like a charm;
+CGDCONT=1,,"ACCESS_POINT_NAME" 

You can get information about GPRS settings in this thread - [url="http://forums.techarena.in/portable-devices/979615.htm?highlight=china+mobile"]Internet

Re: china mobile phone question
I have purchased F600chinese mobile(Dual sim,3.2 mp camera) model in august 2008 from Bombay(INDIA) .It is not operating.After entering sim card it says INVALID SOFTWARE on the screen.PLZ help me.Bombay shopkeeper is not responsing and has sent defective piece.I have shown the mobile locally but here china mobile shopkeeper are unable to repair it.Can any body solve my problem?Thank you very much. 

I have puchased an iPhone 16GB on the market. He is not original but he looks like. He support JAVA Plaform and processor MTK6225. On rear it is marked "iPhone 16GB" model A1246. I don't know really what is his origin.
My questions are:
1. Can you tell me where I can downlod manuel in english for this model ?
2. Is There a PC suite Sync for this model? Iphone PC suite (China program) don't work on it or I don't know how congigure it.
3. The phone works fine but the sound (particularyon music) is very loud (aigu). Do you know Why and do you see a solution for that problem. PS : It seems like there is no equaliser on it.
4. It is marked that support 16 GB of secondery memory (bilt in), but there is a total of 3,7 GB only. Do you know why. How can upgrade to 16 GB or it is necessery to format the memory. It that recommanded ? 

I have a Iphone knock off. Its a MT6225 I think (16gb with Edge). I would like to put firmware on it that supports South African Vodacom. I have read many forums and the best advise I get is to do it with infinity box. Since the phone wont connect to Itunes.

Can any one advise me what to do step by step. The phone does not have the normal Iphone/Ipod cable but rather a slot that looks like a mini USB.

I can't charge my ipod with a power inverter?

I purchased a power inverter made by virtual reality labs. It has a 5 volt USB output. When I plug my ipod into it nothing happens. I think it might be the Ipod software.
What should I do?

You should try powering another USB device with the power inverter. This will tell you if the inverter is functioning correctly. If the other device doesn't work, you know that the inverter is faulty.

It can also be your cord. Does the ipod charge properly when plugged into the USB port on your computer? If so, then the cord is okay.

If it doesn't charge when connected to the computer or the power inverter and you've tried a new cord, then it's most likely a problem with the ipod. Most likely the battery needs to be replaced by Apple.

I hope this helps you!

100 Watts Solar Panel - Read This Carefully !

If you are in the process of researching the subject of 100 watts solar panel, well, you've come to the right place. this short article will give you a new slant on the possibilities of the useable power of the sun. What if you were to learn that the technology now exists which gives you a simple and effective way to use the sun's power to create electricity at an unbeatably low budget - is that possible? Keep reading the following article.

It seems like only yesterday, plugging your home to an independent solar power supply system was thought to be a costly and perhaps a risky venture, for many others it remained as a dream. Web searches for information on 100 watts solar panel have become common, which confirms that curiosity about green technology has grown, and with it the quantity of people who want to know the possibilities of this cost-saving and earth-saving technology.

The exciting news about this innovative arena is that the solar energy dream has become reachable and most importantly affordable to anyone who wishes to get an abundant source of energy for your household's needs. The ability to power your home with this clean energy source has long existed, although the high price tag kept it out of reach of the general population; so we continued to have our home electricity supplied by the local power company, spending unnecessary money on a staple such as electricity.

As you continue to further check about 100 watts solar panel, I want to let you in on the latest development: a leading specialist in renewable energy found a secret way that enables you to construct solar panels and a solar energy system of your very own, by using low cost materials found at any average hardware store. It turns out that there are a large number of people in the u.s. and globally who already enjoy the benefits of solar power, not just to create enough green energy to power their entire house, but in addition, actually make money by selling their extra power to the electric company. Because it's such a snap to use, personal clean energy is going to create a much-needed revolution in energy production as we know it.

How do you figure power consumption without an electric meter?

For example, I use a porch light that is 60 watts and its on continuous for 12 hours. How do I figure how much power that light used over that 12 hour period of time?

Energy used = (Watts) X (time) = (60 Watts) X (12 Hours) = 720 Watt-hours or .72 kWh

The above is fairly accurate for a light bulb which offers a constant load. But for some other devices, such as refrigerators, that offer loads that vary with time, then calculating the energy consumed over a period of time is a bit more difficult.

Power expressed in Watts = (Volts) X (Amps) X (power factor of load if less than one)
Energy used = (Watts) x (time) during any time interval where Watts were constant.
Total energy used = the sum of the energy used at all the different time intervals during the billing period. The meter sums this for us..

My lights come on and off for no reason?

I'am running lights with a 3000w inverter.when I run my pocket lights they turn off for about 2 seconds then back on for about 5 minits. that all stops if i run a light in anouther room at the same time but that kills my btterys faster.

Some additional details would help better answer this question. If the lights are flouresent, your inverter may be running at less than 60hz, requiring the bulb to "re-fire." Testing current draw during this time period would help figure this out. This would be disproved if you were running direct draw lighting, such as incandescent or LED.

The change with another light on may suggest that a particular range of your inverter's coils could be going bad. If you tend to have the same lights on all the time, then the coils could become oxidized disproportionately. This could also impact fluorescents. Resistance testing of the coil could help resolve this. This could also be confirmed by using a different inverter or using a smaller inverter to help change the load balance (and coils range) of your main inverter. If the problem stops, it seems like a coil issue.

I hope this helps with some ideas.

The Honda is Making World’s Best Power Generation Appliances

Power generator of Honda is the most popular item of its kind throughout the world. A wide selection of power generators is available for specific commercial and consumer applications. They are known for its quiet performance, which makes it ideal for recreation or emergencies. Commonly used for camping and at construction sites, and are both durable and reliable.

Today, portable generators are at work around the world. Over thirty years of power equipment development by Honda engineers have given rise to a varied line of hard-working generators that are ready to provide power for any situation.

The latest models are smaller, lighter and quieter than ever before and many Honda generators produce voltage which is smoother and more consistent than commercially available power sources. So whether your needs are modest and recreational, or highly demanding and job-oriented, there's a Honda generator with the right features.

Honda is produced in different sizes and with diverse specifications to respond to particular market and user needs. There are small, portable generators, and also those that can be pushed or pulled around on their own wheels or by using a small trailer. There are also huge generators which need to be housed in custom-built containers. Smaller diesel generators are capable of producing a few hundred watts of power, while larger units can produces thousands of watts or even tens of thousands. Special generator models are popular for RV or boat needs.

Depending on how you will use your Honda, there are different categories to meet your needs. This can include recreation, home standby and construction. Honda also offers inverter power tools. Inverter generators are smaller and lighter as power is created electronically and not through a conventional alternator. Inverter power offers the cleanest power output, ideal for sensitive electronic devices.

Honda models provide smooth, clean power for recreation, construction, rental, emergency and home use. All Generators made by Honda meet or exceed all EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and CARB (California Air Resource Board) standards.

Honda has developed a wide range of generators, and since your needs vary, there is surely an intelligent instrument built specifically for you in mind! Imagine being able to create a constant supply of electricity exactly when needed. All you need is a Honda generator to provide the reassurance of a power plant at your finger tips, and then you won't be left in the dark when an alternative energy source is needed.

Whats a decent power inverter for my truck? I want to run power tools?

Lots of power inverters on ebay, but I need to run a rip saw
or sawsall saw on occasion, It needs at least 3 amps, the inverters I see have lots of volts but few amps
suggestions?

Like everyone else says, you need a generator. Forget about an inverter to run power tools. However, for the price of a generator you could buy a boatload of cordless power tools. I use Ryobi circle saw, recip saw, and compound miter saw all of which are cordless (18v). I have been very satisfied with their performance. Good luck!

Mac Computers are Gorgeous

24th June 2006 ,No doubt. Since they retain the hardware specs, and therefore, a lock on the hardware on which Jaguar will run, they've done a great job at making said hardware sleek, modern, and fancy. They've done a lot of work to make the computer look like a futuristic device.

My Mac Book under load runs up to 95 degrees Celsius, or 203 degrees Fahrenheit. It isn't rocket science to understand that is extremely hot, easily hot enough to inflict a wound.

Launching System Preferences, I immediately found that configuring the system was a breeze. The Mac jumped right online, and making the desktop look like I wanted was more than intuitive. Setting up Mac Mail was also a breeze. Since my web mail account is POP3 enabled, I hopped on and pulled down my mail without a hitch. Mac Mail is actually a nice program - not so much better than the equivalents in other worlds (Outlook Express, Mozilla Mail, Evolution, K Mail), but certainly an attractive and matching app.

The new announced Mac: it was PowerMac G4 with dual 1.25 GHz processors, a 120 GB IDE hard drive, 512 MB DDR SDRAM, a "super drive," which can record DVDs, a 64 MB video card, gigabit Ethernet, a 17" flat panel studio display, and a fresh copy of Jaguar, Mac OS X 10.2.

Charging a battery bank with a car alternator?

I have a four 6 volts deep cycle battery bank arranged to output 12 volts powering a 12 volt power inverter. The inverter has its own built-in charger as the electricity comes and goes where I live. So far so good. In case there is a power failure for, say, two days. Can I use my car to charge the battery bank? I'm thinking about using jump cables. How long will it take for the alternator to fully charge the four batteries?

Yes and No. The alternator in your vehicle produces a max of 13.5 volts when functioning properly. A typical battery charger will produce up to 15 volts. The inverter in your charger will also produce 15 volts. Interesting enough 12V solar panels actually produce between 16 and 18 volts. The car alternator will provide charging output to the batteries but you would have to run the vehicle for a long to time to get much of a charge.

Also, with the car alternator, you don't have any way to properly control the rate of charge. You can seriously damage your batteries if you don't charge them properly. I've messed up several during my learning curve.

You're much better off buying a small generator and charging the batteries properly with the generator during a power outage.

So in summary, yes, you can charge them with the jumper cables in a pinch but you won't get a full charge and you need to be extra careful and make sure to hook the cables up to the proper terminals on the battery bank.

This should only be done in an emergency and with the understanding that you're running the risk of damaging your batteries.

I hope this helps you,

Patty

Choosing an Inverter for Off-grid Pv Systems

The inverter is one of the most important and most complex components in an independent energy system. To choose an inverter you should know some basic functions, capabilities, and limitations.

All types of off-grid PV electric energy systems share a common bond which is the storage battery, the storage battery absorbs and releases energy in the form of direct current (DC) electricity

In contrast, the national grid supplies alternating current (AC) electricity. AC is the standard form of electricity for anything that "plugs in" to mains power. DC flows in a single direction. AC alternates its direction many times per second. AC is used for grid service because it is more practical for long distance transmission.

An inverter converts DC to AC, and also changes the voltage. In other words, it is a power adapter. It allows a battery-based system to run conventional appliances through conventional wiring. There are appliances able to use DC directly but for the majority of modern appliances you will need an inverter.

There is another type of inverter that we are not concerned with in this article called a grid-interactive inverter. These are used to feed solar (or other renewable) energy into a grid-connected home and to feed excess energy back into the national grid.

Not a simple device

Outwardly, an inverter looks like a box with one or two switches on it, but inside there is a small universe of dynamic activity. A modern inverter must cope with a wide range of loads, from a single night light to the big surge required to start a well pump, a power tool or heavy machinery. The battery voltage of a solar or wind system can vary as much as 35 percent (with varying state of charge and activity).

Through all of this, it is the inverter's job to regulate the quality of its output within narrow constraints, with a minimum of power loss.

Define your needs

To choose an inverter, you should first define your needs. Then you need to learn about the inverters that are available. Inverter manufacturers print everything you need to know on their specification sheets. Here is a list of the factors that you should consider.

Operating Environment

Where is the inverter to be used? Inverters are available for use in buildings, for recreational vehicles, boats, and portable applications. Will it be connected to the utility grid in some way? Electrical conventions and safety standards differ for various applications, it's important to check.

Electrical Standards

The DC input voltage must conform to that of the electrical system and battery bank. 12 volts is no longer the dominant standard for home energy systems, 24 and 48 volts are the common standards now. A higher voltage system carries less current, which makes system wiring cheaper and easier.

The inverter's AC output must conform to the conventional power in the region in order to run locally available appliances. The standard for AC mains service in the UK is 230 volts at a frequency of 50 Hertz (cycles per second).

Safety Certification: An inverter should be certified by an independent testing laboratory and be stamped accordingly. This is your assurance that it will be safe, will meet the manufacturer's specifications, and will be approved in an electrical inspection. There are different design and rating standards for various application environments These also vary from one country to another.

Power Capacity

How much load can an inverter handle? Its power output is rated in watts (watts = amps x volts). There are three levels of power rating a continuous rating, a limited-time rating, and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating.

The limited-time rating is a higher number of watts that it can handle for a defined period of time, typically 10 or 20 minutes. The inverter specifications should define these ratings in relation to ambient temperature (the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere). When the inverter gets too hot, it will shut off. This will happen more quickly in a hot atmosphere. The third level of power rating, surge capacity, is critical to its ability to start motors, and is discussed below.

Some inverters are designed to be interconnected or expanded in a modular fashion, in order to increase their capacity. The most common scheme is to "stack" two inverters. A cable connects the two inverters to synchronise them so they perform as one unit.

Power Quality - SINE Wave vs. Modified SINE Wave"

Some inverters produce "cleaner" power than others. Simply stated, "sine wave" is clean; anything else is dirty. A sine wave has a naturally smooth geometry, like the track of a swinging pendulum. It is the ideal form of AC power. The utility grid produces sine wave power in its generators and normally delivers it to the customer relatively free of distortion. A sine wave inverter can deliver cleaner, more stable power than most grid connections.

How clean is a "sine wave"? The manufacturer may use the terms "pure" or "true" to imply a low degree of distortion. The facts are included in the inverter's specifications. Total harmonic distortion (THD) lower than 6 percent should satisfy normal home requirements. Look for less than 3 percent if you have unusually critical or sensitive electronics, as in a recording studio.

Other specs are important too. RMS voltage regulation keeps your lights steady. It should be plus or minus 5 percent or less. Peak voltage (Vp) regulation needs to be plus or minus 10 percent or less.

A "modified sine wave" inverter is less expensive, but it produces a distorted square waveform that resembles the track of a pendulum being slammed back and forth by hammers. In truth, it isn't a sine wave at all. The misleading term "modified sine wave" was invented by advertising people. Engineers prefer to call it "modified square wave."

The "modified sine wave" has detrimental effects on many electrical loads. It reduces the energy efficiency of motors and transformers by 10 to 20 percent. The wasted energy causes abnormal heat which reduces the reliability and longevity of motors and transformers and other devices, including some appliances and computers. The choppy waveform confuses some digital timing devices.

About 5 percent of household appliances simply won't work on modified sine wave power at all. A buzz will be heard from the speakers of nearly every audio device. An annoying buzz will also be emitted by some fluorescent lights, ceiling fans, and transformers. Some microwave ovens buzz or produce less heat. TVs and computers often show rolling lines on the screen. Surge protectors may overheat and should not be used.

Modified sine wave inverters were tolerated in the 1980s, but since then, true sine wave inverters have become more efficient and more affordable. Some people compromise by using a modified wave inverter to run their larger power tools or other occasional heavy loads, and a small sine wave inverter to run their smaller, more frequent, and more sensitive loads. Modified wave inverters in renewable energy systems have started fading into history.

Efficiency

It is not possible to convert power without losing some of it (it's like friction). Power is lost in the form of heat. Efficiency is the ratio of power out to power in, expressed as a percentage. If the efficiency is 90 percent, 10 percent of the power is lost in the inverter. The efficiency of an inverter varies with the load. Typically, it will be highest at about two thirds of the inverter's capacity. This is called its "peak efficiency." The inverter requires some power just to run itself, so the efficiency of a large inverter will be low when running very small loads.

In a typical home, there are many hours of the day when the electrical load is very low. Under these conditions, an inverter's efficiency may be around 50 percent or less. The full story is told by a graph of efficiency vs. load, as published by the inverter manufacturer. This is called the "efficiency curve." Read these curves carefully. Some manufacturers cheat by starting the curve at 100 watts or so, not at zero!

Because the efficiency varies with load, don't assume that an inverter with 93 percent peak efficiency is better than one with 85 percent peak efficiency. If the 85 percent efficient unit is more efficient at low power levels, it may waste less energy through the course of a typical day.

Internal Protection

An inverter's sensitive components must be well protected against surges from nearby lightning and static, and from surges that bounce back from motors under overload conditions. It must also be protected from overloads. Overloads can be caused by a faulty appliance, a wiring fault, or simply too much load running at one time.

An inverter must include several sensing circuits to shut itself off if it cannot properly serve the load. It also needs to shut off if the DC supply voltage is too low, due to a low battery state-of-charge or other weakness in the supply circuit. This protects the batteries from over-discharge damage, as well as protecting the inverter and the loads. These protective measures are all standard on inverters that are certified for use in buildings.

Inductive loads and Surge Capacity

Some loads absorb the AC wave's energy with a time delay (like towing a car with a rubber strap). These are called inductive loads. Motors are the most severely inductive loads. They are found in well pumps, washing machines, refrigerators, power tools, etc. TVs and microwave ovens are also inductive loads. Like motors, they draw a surge of power when they start.

If an inverter cannot efficiently feed an inductive load, it may simply shut down instead of starting the device. If the inverter's surge capacity is marginal, its output voltage will dip during the surge. This can cause a dimming of the lights in the house, and will sometimes crash a computer.

Any weakness in the battery and cabling to the inverter will further limit its ability to start a motor. A battery bank that is undersized, in poor condition, or has corroded connections, can be a weak link in the power chain. The inverter cables and the battery interconnect cables must be big, and I mean REALLY big, perhaps the size of a large thumb! The spike of DC current through these cables is many hundreds of amps at the instant of motor starting. Follow the inverter's instruction manual when sizing the cables, or you'll cheat yourself. Coat battery connections with a protective coating to reduce corrosion.

Idle Power

Idle power is the consumption of the inverter when it is on, but no loads are running. It is "wasted" power, so if you expect the inverter to be on for many hours during which there is very little load (as in most residential situations), you want this to be as low as possible. Typical idle power ranges from 15 watts to 50 watts for a home-size inverter. An inverter's spec sheet may describe the inverter's "idle current" in amps. To get watts, just multiply the amps times the DC voltage of the system.

Low switching frequency vs. High switching frequency

There are two ways to build an inverter. Without diving into theory, I'll simply say that there are differences in weight, cost, surge capacity, idle power, and noise.

A low switching frequency inverter is big and heavy (generally 10 kg per kilowatt and more expensive. It has the high surge capacity (four to eight times the continuous capacity) needed to start large motors. Beware of the acoustical buzz that low switching frequency inverters make. If you install one near a living space, you may be unhappy with the noise.

A high switching frequency inverter is much smaller and lighter (generally about 2.5 kg per kilowatt and also less expensive. It has less surge capacity, typically about two times the continuous capacity. It produces little or no audible noise. The idle power is generally higher. If the inverter is oversized for motor starting, its idle power will be higher yet, and may be prohibitive. Most homes that have a well pump or other motors greater than 1 HP will find a low switching frequency inverter to be more economical.

Both types of inverter have their virtues. Some people "divide and conquer" by splitting their loads and using two inverters. This adds a measure of redundancy. If one ever fails, the other one can serve as backup.

Automatic ON/OFF

Inverter idling can be a substantial load on a small power system. Most inverters made for home power systems have automatic load-sensing. The inverter puts out a brief pulse of power about every second (more or less). When you switch on an AC load, it senses the current draw and turns itself on. Manufacturers have various names for this feature, including "load demand," "sleep mode," "power saver," "autostart," and "standby."

Automatic on/off can make life awkward because a tiny load may not trigger the inverter to turn on or stay on. For example, a washing machine may pause between cycles, with only the timer running. The timer draws less than 10 watts. The inverter's turn-on "threshold" may be 10 or 15 watts. The inverter shuts off and doesn't come back on until it sees an additional load from some other appliance. You may have to leave a light on while running the washer.

Some people can't adapt to such situations. Therefore, inverters with automatic on/off also have an always-on setting. With it, you can run your low-power night lights, your clocks, fax, answering machine and other tiny loads, without losing continuity. In that case, a good system designer will add the inverter's idle power into the load calculation (24 hours a day). The cost of the power system will be higher, but it will meet the expectations of modern living.

Phantom loads and Idling Loads

High tech consumers are stuck with gadgets that draw power whenever they are plugged in. Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little demons are called "phantom loads" because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.

A similar concern is "idling loads." These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge. If in doubt, feel the device. If it's warm, that indicates wasted energy. How many phantom or idling loads do you have?

There are several ways to cope with phantom and idling loads:

You may be able to avoid them in the appliance choices you make.

• You can minimize their use and disconnect them when not needed, using external switches.
• You can work around them by modifying certain equipment to shut off completely (central heating thermostat circuits, for example).
• You can use some DC appliances.
• You can pay the additional cost for a large enough power system to handle the extra loads plus the inverter's idle current.

Be careful and honest if you contemplate avoiding all phantom and idling loads. You cannot always anticipate future needs or human behavior.

Powering a Water Supply Pump

At a remote site, a water well or pressure pump often places the greatest demand on the inverter. It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during startup. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge. Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink. It may also be worth considering a DC pump to eliminate the load on the invertor.

Battery Charging Features

Backup battery charging is essential in many off-grid renewable energy systems because there are likely to be occasions when the natural energy supply is insufficient. Some inverters have a built-in battery charger that will recharge the battery bank whenever power is applied from an AC generator or from the grid. As seperate cost effective chargers can be bought seperatly whether this feature will be cost effective will depend on the other requirements of your system.

Quality Pays

A good inverter is an industrial quality device that is proven reliable, certified for safety, and can last for decades. A cheap inverter may soon end up in the junk pile, and can even be a fire hazard. Consider your inverter to be a foundation component. Buy a good one that allows for future expansion of your needs.

In Summary

Define where it is to be used. Define what type of loads (appliances) you will be powering. Determine the maximum power the inverter will need to handle. Is the quality of the power critical? Does size and weight matter? Will there be any changes in what the inverter need to do in the future?

Can we charge mobile phone on an inverter / UPS ?

.

The cheapest inverters put out a pretty rough square wave. It is possible that this could damage a mobile phone charger as the transformer in the charger is an INDUCTIVE load. As for transformerless (switch mode) chargers, they sometimes don't produce an output at all when looking at a square wave input. Using such an inverter to power a soldering iron or cup heater would be fine as these are RESISTIVE loads and are not affected by waveform. I won't go into the math and magnetic permeability etc....

However, you CAN get inverters that are "modified sine wave" but they are considerably more expensive. These will run your charger just fine. They also have generally higher output power.

Since your inverter is running a computer it is almost certainly a modified sine wave inverter and will be OK.
