Translations:Inverter/8/en

All inverters are rated based upon the amount of power or volts/amps that they can continuously supply. In addition to this continuous rating an inverter will be able to supply higher amounts of power for brief periods of time in order to supply loads that require momentary surges of more current when starting. These additional ratings may come in 30 minute, 5 minute, 1 minute, 30 second, 10 second or 1 second ratings. All loads and their energy requirements will need to be evaluated to select the appropriate inverter - see inverter sizing and selection for more information.
