Inrush current, also known as ‘inrush current surge’ or ‘switch-on surge’, refers to the temporary surge of electrical current that occurs when a device or electrical equipment is first turned on. This term is particularly relevant in applications like heavy power systems, transformers, motors, and electronic devices. Why is there inrush current, can’t we do […]
Calculating the battery charging current involves considering the battery’s capacity (in Ah, ampere-hours) and the desired charging rate or time. You can extract those information from battery or its user manual, if there. The formula to determine the charging current is: Charging Current (in A) = Battery Capacity (in AH) ÷ Charging Time (in hours) […]
The charging time for a battery or battery bank (lead-acid and lithium-ion) can vary depending on several factors such as the charging current, the state of discharge, and the type of charger being used. As a general rule of thumb, to calculate the approximate charging time for a battery, you can use the formula: Charging […]
Inverters and its batteries are too costly when we plan to increase our load on just solar. This is the reason, many readers and solar enthusiast asked me, can we run our appliances and electronics directly on solar and without an inverter? Honestly, the solution is there, but we need to change a few things […]
