Is the inverter marked with high power

What happens if an inverter overloads?

If the total load exceeds this value, the inverter will be damaged due to constant overloading. What is Peak Power? Peak Power, also known as Surge Power, represents the maximum power value that the inverter can deliver in a short period (usually 0.5~5 seconds).

When can an inverter start?

Because these inductive loads require a large current to start at the moment of startup, the appliance can start normally only when the inverter peak power is greater than the starting power of the appliance. Under normal circumstances, the peak power is equal to 2 times the rated power. 2. Different types of load

How do I choose a good inverter?

Choose inverters with clear power factor information and look at the kW output, especially in hybrid or off-grid systems. Always design your load around the kW capacity, not just kVA. Knowing the difference between kW and kVA prevents common inverter sizing mistakes.

Does a critical load inverter have a higher passthrough rating?

An inverter intended to power a large critical load panels may have a much higher passthrough rating than its actual inverter output power. This structure is more often encountered with offgrid gear like Victron.

Can an inverter run over rated power?

A: No. The inverter's rated power is the maximum power it can sustain and safely output. If an appliance is run over this power, it will cause the inverter to overload, automatically cut off, or even be damaged.

Why should you choose a solar inverter rated in kW?

Inverters must handle peak solar input, battery charging, and load output—all at once. Choosing an inverter rated in kW (not just kVA) gives you a clearer view of real usable power. This prevents undersizing and keeps your solar-storage system running efficiently.
