Since that time, I think I've found out that the
12 volt DC wires they supply are under sized. One
other friend had similar problem, using under size
DC wires. I wonder if you had under sized DC wires?
Well the rating on the converter was far less than that simple drill
required. I had underestimated what the drill needed.
Motors can be rough on invertes. Big start
up current. What was the rating of the
inverter, and of the drill?
They're in the basement somewhere. 20watts for the inverter and 80
watts for the drill maybe. What does a standard 3/8" drill require?
Mine is 5.3 amps - so 636 watts,
So I'm still underestimating. It seems like it uses far less than a
1000 watt electric heater. Like 1/10 of that. But I accept that
I'm wrong.
You need to do a bit of studying on electrical theory Micky. Then
you would be able to answer some of your real simple off-the-wall
questions yourself. Start with ohm's law and the relationship between
volts, amps and watts.
With those 2 concepts nained down, you can ask more intelligent
questions, and understand the answers. (even before you ask the
questions)
