Planning for AC loads
2–5
Factors
affecting load
Consider these factors when you are calculating loads:
• Loads that exceed 1000 watts may be run for a short time (less than
five minutes)
• Loads which run continuously, (reading light, TV, 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
