Don't Buy the Wrong Inverter! Calculate LRA and Surge Power First.

Stop tripping your breakers! Learn the professional method for sizing an inverter, including how to calculate Locked Rotor Amps (LRA) and Inductive Surge Power so you never undersize your system again. ​ Buying an inverter based on "total watts" alone is the fastest way to damage your equipment. In this video, we go deep into the engineering side of solar and backup power. ​We cover: ​Continuous vs. Surge Power: Why your fridge or AC needs 3x more power than you think. ​Locked Rotor Amps (LRA): How to read motor labels to find the hidden "surge" load. ​Power Factor (PF): The difference between Watts and VA. ​Safety Factors: Why you should never run your inverter at 100% capacity. ​Whether you are DIYing a solar build or a professional installer, this math is non-negotiable.
