Planning for AC Loads

Battery condition

Factors affecting load

3.To find the running time for several loads running simultaneously, add their total wattage and look for an appliance with similar power requirement in Table 2-1.

The information in Table 2-1 assumes:

•there is a properly maintained 12 volt 400 amp-hour battery bank, for example, 4 Group 31 (100Ah) deep-cycle truck batteries or 2 Group 4D batteries

•the batteries have not been damaged by deep discharge and are relatively new

Consider these factors when you are calculating loads:

•Loads that exceed 1000 watts may be run for a short time (about one minute).

•Loads which run continuously such as a reading light, TV or computer should not exceed more than 1000 watts in total.

•Poor battery condition, low battery capacity, low battery temperature, and high ambient temperature will shorten the operating times listed in the table.

•The presence of DC loads will reduce the operating times of the AC loads.
