Inverter Run Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the inverter run time (t) is:

\[ t = \frac{C}{P} \]

Where:

Inverter Run Time: The duration for which an inverter can supply power to a load using the stored energy in a battery. It is crucial for determining how long your backup power system will last during a power outage.

Let's say the battery capacity (C) is 1000 watt-hours and the load power (P) is 200 watts. Using the formula:

\[ t = \frac{1000}{200} \]

We get:

\[ t = 5 \, \text{hours} \]

So, the inverter run time is 5 hours.
