Hello everyone. So far I've been able to set up my system and wiring from watching in the background and stalking post but I've hit a road block.
I have a 12vDC, 5A, 60w diaphragm pump which is powered from a 120v AC transformer. I need to set up as a misting system for my green house.
Im lost in trying to calculate the inverter size I would need to accommodate the inrush current of the pump which would intermittent: 20 seconds on, 15min off.
I have x2, 130Pmax, 17.6Vpmax, 7.39Ipmax panels running in parallel to x2 12v 50ah batteries in parallel. I'm in Hawaii (6-7hrs / day of light)
I've read a lot about inrush currents killing inverters so I wanted to accommodate for this pump before buying an inverter but I don't know how to calculate for the inrush when it's being fed from:
12vdc/120vac inverter -> 120vac Transformer -> 12vdc, 60w, 5a pump.
any help, guidance, or questions to get me thinking and learning would be AMAZING!
thank you and aloha!
