Load Calculator

Complete your calculations and determine your daily loads in three easy ste
For the most complete picture, complete this form both for days when you are anchored and separately for days when you
Step 1: Calculate your AC loads.
Step 2: Calculate your DC loads.
Step 3: Note your total loads from the bottom of the sheet. Repeat steps 1&2 for auxilliary bank.

Step 1: Calculate your AC loads.

1.1 If there are no AC loads, skip to Step 2.

1.2 Enter your battery voltage (e.g. 12,24,48) 12

1.3 Add correction factor for inverter inefficiency (typically 15%) 15.00%
1.4 List your AC devices below. For each one, list the quantity, volts, amps, and average hrs/day of use.
If you have information on watts but not amps, use the Amps Calculator at right to convert to amps.
