The inverter has a meter that says 0 watts when nothing is connected to it - other than the batteries.
As soon as something is "plugged in" it says 40 watts.
GIADEL says the unit uses 1.2 amps/14 watts at idle. I guess it does not really turn on until something is requiring power?
I had assumed the mobile hazardous waste dumps all used DC motors but took a look and see this is not correct. I am surprised that an inverter to allow an AC motor would be more efficient than simply using the native DC. The whole electric car circus is nonsense to me. Would be fine with it if there was an abundance of nuclear power plants generating electricity. Instead we have one of the more grandiose examples of cognitive dissonance ever seen. Closing down efficient generators of electricity while making the internal combustion engine anathema. Substituting abundant petroleum for rare metals mined by children. If it wasn't so bizarre it would be peculiar as hell.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
