12v at 10000 watts = 833amps 12v at 10000 watts = 833amps. this isn't even possible with the thickest cable available. someone please explain?

It looks like there are FOUR 1/4" or maybe 5/16ths" (or metric eq.) sized bolt on terminals for the positive, and four more for the negative DC side - and I think 3/0 will do close to 200a, and 4/0 will do 250a or so (if your connectors are properly crimped, that is), so with 4 PAIR of DC input cables with very large conductors they may have enough input conductor capacity for over 800 amps, but STILL, that sucker must get good and hot with it running at 10KW continuously (or even close). It weight just under 50 lbs, so it must be larger than it seems in the pictures, too. Either way, 10KW is a BUNCH of watts!

For a 12-Volt inverter system, each 100 Watts of the inverter load requires approximately 10 DC Amps from the battery. So, 10,000 W = 1000 amps. For a 12-Volt battery: 1000 Amps DC x 24 hours = 24000 A.H. battery bank. This is going take a lot of solar panels!

Amps are not Amps. WATTS are what need to be conserved. If you have 10000 Watts of AC available on the output, it will require OVER 833 Amps on the input. If fact, it will require even more than 833 Amps as a result of the efficiency (lack of perfect conversion) of the inverter. I'd bet the overall conversion eff. to be less than 80%, which means it would be 10000 Watts/0.8 = 12,500 Watts, and for the sake of easy math 1000 Amps @ 12.5 Vdc input. Thats some serious current and is going to be a real problem when attempting to minimize the voltage drop on the input cables!

You can't confuse the input and output wattage. The 10,000W is the output... 110V, so the max current is 90A on the AC load peak. The input, however, is only 12V, and the current there is limited by your regulator. Current is still current, so if you multiply 90A times 12V you get 1000W total input peak. Nowhere NEAR 800 amps going in! You would blow up your batteries! :)

This particular wall adapter may or may not give satisfactory results @ 1000 mA. I attached the 5 that I purchased to a variable load to see how much current it would produce @ 12V, and the best I got consistently was around 500 mA. It does produce 1000 mA. of power, just not @ 12V output but instead around 8.9-9 V. I hope this helps. CG

It is a 50 amp supply and will provide that at 12 volts continually. Your amp needs 120 amps. Oh those specs imply big external capacitors to deliver 5000 watts. It can only take in 1440 watts (120 amps x 12 volts) and they don't create power.

Output it's 2000 watts, which is at 115 volts, So doing that math, the output amperage is 17.3however if you are talking about input amps, that's also some "simple" math2000 watts out divided by 12 volts in = 167 amps

OHM's Law...V=IR Therefor 12volts=0.005X2400 The power (or watts) will be 0.06watts. If you want proof try this link and put in the variables http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms-law-calculator Kind regards, John.

The short explanation is that it can only put out about 150 watts. Wattage is equal to voltage multiplied by amperage. With that equation you should be able to figure out the maximum amperage and as stated by James Peterson the current will vary based on the load. If your calculations show that you will not be able to provide enough current then i suggest multiple converters wired in parallel.

Yes. What other components are you putting in your computer (who many video cards etc.)? Use a watts calculators (search for a free one by Asus). Thankfully, 1000 watts should handle just about anything right now.

The rating is 500 watts, so you should not expect to do any more. The 1000 watt peak really only takes care of start up, since the initial load is always more than the operating wattage.

The 12 volt version will draw twice as many amps, requiring a larger wire size. Watts is watts, its a measure of power passed. Voltage x Amperage = watts so to get the same watts when you decrease voltage you end up pulling twice as many amps.

10 amps at 12 volts = 120 watts not 1200. At 12 volts you would need 100 amps and you sure as heck couldn't plug it in cigar lighter.

1200 watts divided by 120 volts gives you max 10 amps. the 900 watt rated output gives you 7.5 amps continuous.

The label on the bottom say it uses 10 watts. 120 v times X amps = 10 watts so amps = 10 watts / 120 v = 0.0833 amps

you'll get 12v & 1amp on each channel. If voltage matches, amperage matters little.

You mean watts? This wire should be fine for a few hundred watts. If you were going closer to 500w you would want 10 gauge maybe 8

I have no idea. But i have used these cables for a year and a half with my 4 panels that are 600 watts and it's all fine.Dennis B.

You can't get 1000 Watts on 120 Volt input power. You need to install a 240 Volt circuit or buy a more powerful power supply. On 120 Volt input the maximum output will be 850 Watts.

4.8 Amps total. 2.4 Amps per port. 2.4 Amps per port x 2 ports = 4.8 Amps. 12W x 2 = 24W 24W / 5V = 4.8A This unit is called reVOLT 12W + 12W by Scosche. So 24 Watts, not 12.
