This inverter size reference table shows the inverter size needed for a range of total load values, assuming a power factor of 0.8. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Inverter Size Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
| Total load | Inverter size needed |
|---|---|
| 200 W | 250 |
| 400 W | 500 |
| 600 W | 750 |
| 800 W | 1,000 |
| 1,200 W | 1,500 |
| 1,600 W | 2,000 |
| 2,400 W | 3,000 |
| 4,000 W | 5,000 |
| 5,600 W | 7,000 |
| 8,000 W | 10,000 |
How to use this table
Find the row closest to your total load and read across to the inverter size needed. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Inverter Size Calculator for a precise answer.
