Hi MikeBowe, the voltage is not relevant to the power an appliance will draw, so the listings of Power here will suit any voltage.

Is this table for 220v or 110v it does not say

How can I get all this low what appliances?
On 15th July 2019

Some of these are ridiculously low. Ie vacuum cleaner. Mine is 1400 but start up surge is enough to overload a 2.1kw generator unless everything else even my 8.5 watt led lightbulbs are switched off. It's mid range power wise, powerful ones are around 2000watts. Ive never seen an air conditioner that uses less than 2500 - 3000 watts often more and that's constant not starting draw. I have a small microwave that's 750 watt and I have to increase recommended cooking time for average is power is round 900-1100. All my examples are close to new or new appliances. Where can I buy a 200 watt vacuum? Lol

Hi Dennis, We are often making updates and corrections so a PDF would quickly become out of date.

We run our office computers on solar electric, using low-power Portwell motherboards and survived a 13-day mains failure in a sunny period in December 2018. I added two solar panels, and am trying to run my medium size fridge on a sem-cloudy day today, following messenger power company failures. Gaborone, Botswana

I want to total Power Req On 9 celling fan / 51 Desktop / 51 Lights / 2 ton Ac 2nos how man re Wattas

On 17th January 2019

Now there are 12 volt appliances like 12v fridge, 12v freezer, 12v kettle, 12v hot plate stove, 12v dry iron with spray, 12v plasma TV (rechargeable), 12v sound systems (rechargeable), 12v hair dryer, 12v hair straightener, 12v led bulbs and security lights etc which avoids the use of an inverter. The inverter requires it's own power to run before it steps up power to run 220v appliances and has limitations depending how many watts the inverter is.

Hi Brunis, do you have any examples? We are keen to reduce mistakes.
By Daft Logic on 3rd October 2018

I found your numbers outrageously high, i was looking for a date to confirm it was old non standards compliant equipment.
