Inverter draw

[Kevin D Pem]

I just got through modifying my inverter, and as expected I have a larger draw while in a no load state. The unit is a low frequency inverter, not a auto style inverter.

The question is what is everyone's stand by current? Listed in your paper work, or tested! My transformers are warm, not much, but warm. That lead me to check my no load draw on the battery, and that figure is 13 watts. I should have checked it but failed to, pre modification so have no reference to judge the outcome!

Hoping to get your numbers! So thanks in advance!

No idea what mine is drawing as I don't boondock much anymore. But when the amount of draw was important to me, I remember it was enough that I didn't leave the inverter on unless it was necessary. As I recall, I could put it on a low consumption mode, but then some of the smaller draw items didn't pull enough power to kick the inverter on. The power gods are against us, lol.

Not sure if this helps, but 13 watts does not seem out of bounds.
