Inverter systems are a common feature in our homes and workplace where they play a
prominent role in the ensuring uninterruptible power to sensitive loads and devices. For
home applications, there is the need to adequately size your inverter to be able to
meet the expected load demand.
Inverters convert DC voltage to AC voltage. They have a battery system which provide
adequate backup time to provide continuous power in the home. The inverter system
then converts the battery voltage to AC voltage through electronic circuitry. The
inverter system also has some charging system that charges the battery during utility
power. During utility power, the battery of the inverter is charged and at the same time
power is supplied to the loads in the house. When utility power fails, the battery
system begins to supply power via the inverter to the loads in the home as shown
below:
Total load in Watts = 300 + (3 x 70) + 200 + 200 + 150 = 1060W = 1.06KW
Power in KVA = 1.06/0.8 = 1.325
An inverter of standard rating 1.5KVA is required to carry the loads above.

In our example above, suppose we have selected a 24V, 1.5KVA inverter system that is
to use two 12V batteries in series connection and suppose further that the capacity of
our batteries are 200AH each, then :
:
C = 200AH
V = 12V
N=2
PL = 1,060W
200 ∗ 12 ∗ 2
BU T = = 4.53hrs
