Best Answer

The output voltage of your inverter, and input voltage the vacuum is designed for, must match. Check your labels! (And of course, since an inverter outputs AC, your vacuum should also be AC). In practice, the voltage can vary 10 to 15%, so if the voltage labels are slightly different, you're probably ok. (At least in the US, mains voltage is expected to be between 110 and 125 VAC RMS) The vacuum should not (try) to use more power than the inverter is rated for. Equivalently, it should not (try) to draw more current than the inverter is rated for.

What is a 400 watt power inverter?

A inverter is what makes you be able to go from dc to AC. Usually a 400 watt inverter goes in a vehicle while a 5000 is typical for homes. If you wanted to use a laptop on electric only in your car... you would plug the inverter into the cig. lighter outlet in the car and your laptop into the inverter. Hope that helps!

Do higher watt inverters drain batteries more than lower watt?

The inverter draws little current on its own. It is the load that is connected to the inverter. If there were no load on the inverter you could use an ampmeter to determine the no load current. One thing to consider is that a higher wattage inverter would have larger gauge wire which is of lower resistance. This could make the no load current lower for the higher wattage inverter. Bottom line is you would have to measure or have a specification on the no load current.


If you have a 800 watt inverter will it run a 110volt cooler?

Depends on the wattage of the cooler. 800 watts would be a small cooler I think. You need to check the cooler specification before connecting it to the inverter.

Can you use an inverter on a 1500 watt sodium bulb?

You can as long as the rating of the inverter supports the 1500 watt power requirement at the operational voltage of the bulb. There may be a surge at start-up of the bulb so that has to be taken into account.
