So thats where the 100A converter came from in the brochure :) Mine has the PD 90A.

What I was wondering is if the load at the meter varies based on what the DC load is going through the...

I think that answers my question - the converter steps down to meet the 12V load.

hahaha! same here. Whiskey time for me and in a few minutes the only "resistance" I'll worry about is the torque to spin the cap on the JD.

I don't have the answers Shane - I was hoping you did. I'm not jerking you around, I'm curious how the converter works.

Ok - I guess nobody actually knows. The Converter draws up to 17A on the 110V side. All I wanted to know is whether that is a constant 17A or if it is based on the actual 12V load through the power...

No it's a Converter, not an Inverter, and it provides a 90A 12V power supply in addition to the battery charger. Your 12V appliances don't pull from the batteries, in fact you don't need batteries...

That's my point - how do you calculate the 12 volt load on the meter?

Ah, thanks for adding Watts Law to your post.


So Shane, are you saying a 20W 12V bulb puts a 0.18A load on the 110V side of the converter?

Yep....but now what?

How does Ohms law get used to determine the power kW/h consumption of the Redwood?

But the draw or load is different based on the voltage. 20 watts 12V doesn't draw the same as 20 watts 110V.

Ohms law? I think you mean Watts law.

The Redwood 90A coverter produces 1,080W at 12V. Using your formula, each 20W halogen light (which we have over 40) would draw 240 Watts (20W X 12V = 240W),...

But how do the 12V lights and appliances convert? Because they run off the converter in 12V, I don't think it is calculated that way.
