1. What is Luminous Inverter And Battery Calculation?

The Luminous Inverter and Battery Calculation Software helps determine the appropriate battery capacity (in Ah) needed for your power requirements based on load, time, and voltage parameters.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Luminous formula:

Where:

• \( Software Input Load \) — Total power consumption in watts
• \( Time \) — Duration of operation in hours
• \( Voltage \) — System voltage in volts

Explanation: The equation calculates the required battery capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) needed to sustain your load for the specified duration at the given voltage.

3. Importance of Proper Calculation

Details: Accurate battery sizing is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted power supply, optimizing battery life, and preventing over-sizing or under-sizing of your power backup system.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total load in watts, desired backup time in hours, and system voltage in volts. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the typical voltage for home inverter systems?
A: Most home inverter systems operate at 12V, 24V, or 48V depending on the system size and configuration.

Q2: How do I determine my total load?
A: Sum the wattage of all appliances you want to run simultaneously during power outage.

Q3: Should I add a safety margin to the calculated Ah?
A: Yes, it's recommended to add 20-30% extra capacity to account for battery aging and efficiency losses.

Q4: What's the difference between Ah and Wh?
A: Ah (Ampere-hours) measures charge capacity, while Wh (Watt-hours) measures energy capacity. Wh = Ah × V.

Q5: Can this calculator be used for solar systems?
A: While the basic calculation is similar, solar systems require additional factors like days of autonomy and depth of discharge.
