R RodneyB Member Sep 23, 2013 #1 I have a 3.2 KVA 24 Volt Inverter I want to know how to calculate the maximum current being drawn from the batteries assuming its drawing the full 3.2 KVA

Nigel Goodwin Super Moderator Most Helpful Member Sep 23, 2013 #2 W=VxI so I=W/V So 3200/24 = 133.33 amps However, that assumes 100% efficiency, so 150A is probably more like it. So a LOT of current, VERY big batteries, and VERY thick cabling.
