Wanting to purchase the 15" and power from my boat at times. What size inverter do I need to properly power this unit?

Depends on how much you plan to turn up the volume I think 1500 watt inverter would be enough also you might look at the ds18 brand speaker

15amps pre side. Totals 30amps total. The thing I found out about these little inverters is not to run them on a weak power supply, if an extension cord is needed, use a VERRY heavy cord. And the manufacturer " implies " it is the ground by stating adding a ground to lugs in back of unit. Believe me 30 is plenty! But I use a generator with 30 and40 amp outlets and always a ground stake. O by the way,the foot rheostat pictured in the ad does not come with it had to go on line to a German supplier to find one. So if your cripple like me and a foot switch is critical, you may want to do some further looking. Otherwise this machine is amazing. 15amps pre side. Totals 30amps total.

I run mine thru my inverter so that it will work when I am unplugged from shore power. Good luck

The requirement for ieee1547 is only if not hooked direct to appliance and hooked to a circuit box so it needs not to meet this requirement. It is required to be grounded to meet It's a UL approval. This is one of the best inverters in the 1500w range I have found but you do need some serious battery backup to run anywhere close to 1500 watts.

The inverter is a 3500 W. 4 1500 W equals 6000 w. That would mean you would need 2. I use this inverter on my boat. It runs a household refrigerator of approximately 1800 W. The best thing about this inverter is that it will shut down if it is back fed. Since I switch from AC to DC this feature is extremely valuable. I would recommend this inverter because I have tried Xanax and I burnt out 4 them. As far as the amount of battery you need it all depends on how long you going to run the unit.

Alternator rating is not important on this, the 90 amp is fine for general dual battery isolation, BUT if your going to be drawing over 90 amps at any point off the 2nd battery (like for a big inverter) you may want a 140 amp, or the 200 amp so you dont experience a voltage so low you overheat it. It's good for use with a constant 75 amp load (800 watt inverter) type set up. A 140 will isolate and power assist a 1500 watt inverter. This is how you safely keep your starter battery fro getting drawn down. Just keep the NOCO 10% or so bigger than the intended max draw you will place on your RV or Coach style batteries. A 14O is the most common for a small vehicle making the host charge. A 90 is more for a second battery for a boat for trolling, lighting ect.

125 watts 120 volts 15 amps you will need the right screw in socket its the bigger size

120 volt. Not sure about an inverter. It would have to have enough amperage and be a full sine wave inverter is my guess since everything has electronics in them now and gets odd when inverting.

probably will. Pumps are high inductive loads that pull a lot of power to start up. You might also consider a 12 volt bilge pump connected directly to the marine battery. Will require a bit of plumbing, but more energy efficient since you don't have to convert voltage. Also, you could set up the bilge pump with it's own float switch so it comes on automatically. What if you are not home when the power goes out? Who will move the plug for the 120 Volt bilge pump from the wall to the inverter?

I'm not sure, I would call there help center. I can tell you that it works great, I used this inverter several times over four hours to power buff my boat with no problems. Hope this helped

Home Depot rates it as 40 watts, however, they are also charging $250! I have also seen 65 watts quoted but I couldn't find the link. I think you will be safe with 65 watts. Great for boats and RVs as it should run off an inverter.

According to the specs, yes, it should. It might be my specific inverter, but I've had it shut down with just a 3/8ths-inch power drill. It doesn't pull any more than a couple hundred watts at start-up. This doesn't happen every time though. You might be fine, but a little more money for a larger one might save you some aggravation.

Im running 5 x250 watt panels. This 1000 watt GT inverter has worked wonderfully for me.

My instructional sheet says: This unit is designed to operate on 110/120V and will require 15 amps. Hope this helps.

With low voltage DC, bigger is alway better! For a bilge pump at 15' I would go with 16 gauge or lower.

Inverter choosing is not only a money matter, it's also about consumption, and potential growth. You 95 watts solar X 5hr, is what we use on an average day harvest. Might run one tv for five or six hours. You loosing the solar charging war. your banking 2760 watts 1380 @ 50 percent harvesting 475 watt and when in full rv use you'll use a lot more than you harvest. Why not just but a couple cigarette lighter 150w or 300w inverters?

This one 12v ,quiet,high power ,what do you want to use,more amp draw it mean get more RPM from it,I did not look in to how much current draw ,only I need more power out put and you don't turn on all time on the boat.I don't think it draw too much to your have to worry.My answer may help
