Photometric & Electrical Engineering Standards

Based on international electrical codes (IEC 60364, NEC) and inverter sizing engineering methodologies used by leading energy providers (Endesa, Luminous, Livguard).

1. INVERTER CAPACITY (VA)
VA = (Watts / 0.8) × 1.25

Inverters are rated in Volt-Amperes (VA). Sizing divides running watts by an inductive power factor (PF = 0.8) and adds a 25% surge safety margin to accommodate inductive inrush currents from refrigerator compressors and fan motors.

2. BATTERY CAPACITY (Ah)
Ah = (Watts × Hrs) / (V × 0.85 × 0.80)

Determines backup duration during an electrical power cut. Accounts for 85% inverter conversion efficiency and protects deep-cycle tubular/lead batteries by capping depth of discharge (DoD) to 80% to maximize cycle life.

3. COINCIDENCE FACTOR (Kc)
Peak Demand = Total Watts × 0.70

As standard in Endesa and international utility guidelines, rarely do all home appliances draw power simultaneously. The coincidence factor downscales raw connected load to establish the true contracted electrical power (kW) preventing tripped main breakers.
