    The document provides guidance on selecting an inverter and battery for backup power. It recommends calculating the total power needs of devices in watts and converting to VA to size an inverter. It also provides an equation to calculate the required battery amp-hour rating based on the backup time needed and total power in VA. An example calculation is given to demonstrate selecting an inverter rated for 525VA and batteries rated for either 262.5AH at 12V or 131.25AH at 24V for a system with a total load of 420W needing 6 hours of backup time.

    You must be having a hard time and may be even trying to get an inverter.

    But must be confused which inverter and battery to choose. Some may have bought them already but presently may not be sufficient to provide electric backup. So, I suggest you do some homework before buying or upgrading the inverter/battery. Thumb rule is that you select inverter based on the power required and battery based on the backup time required. Selecting Inverter: Inverter rating (VA) must be greater than the total power required by the devices to be operated via inverter. So, first of all sum up the powers of all those devices. I have listed the power consumption value for some equipments below.
    Appliances Power (Watts)

    Laptop Computer / Digital Camera

    35-45

    100W Light / 12 Fan / 19 Color TV

    100

    Computer / Printer / Fax

    300

    After getting total powers in watt, you need to convert that to corresponding VA value; to compare with the inverter rating. conversion from watt to VA can be done using the equation below. Power in VA = power in watt / power factor power factor = 0.8
    Example: There is a 1 computer, 1 TV and 4 CFL lamps (5 watt each) then total power = 300+100+45 = 420 Watts. In VA that corresponds to 525 VA. So we need an inverter with rating greater than 525 VA .

    Selecting Battery: For the battery selection the equation below summarizes all the points. Battery Voltage x Battery AH rating = Required VA x Backup Time Battery AH rating = Ampere-Hour rating of the battery Backup Time in hours We already have the Required VA as calulated from the total power required. Now we have to figure out ourselves the backup time required and decide to use 12 V or 24 V battery. Or we may combine batteries in series to sum up the voltage and get higher voltage.

    After then we can calculate the AH rating and get a battery near that rating.
    Example: As for the previous case, Required VA = 525VA. If we require it for backup time of 6 hrs with 12V battery then battery AH rating = 5256/12 = 262.5 AH. But if we use 24V battery then battery AH rating = 5256/24 = 131.25 AH
