What is the current draw with no load (vampire current, I think they call it)?

If the charger was 5 years old, you might attribute about 2.5W to 'vampire'. New charger blocks have effectively cut the loss to &lt;.5W. This is advertised as "Smart chip recognizes and optimizes the charging requirements of individual devices" ... most any power supply logic chip sizing amperage to specific device would switch off current flow to the primary coil, if no device detected. At that point, the chip power draw would be &gt;.01W. If you assume worst case that it draws say max 1W, the annual cost on the electric bill would be about $1.

There is no restricting the load. If you are looking to make sure that you can not draw more than the unit can put out the way to go is the select circuit transfer panel. This will allow assigning of specific circuits to assure the proper load for the generator. If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me at 800.654.7440 ext 109.

Update on my previous answer since I now have a new meter to measure all DC current draw on my vessel. With all 5 lights on, they draw 1.1 amps of DC power...That is a very low current draw!! I am adding 2 more this winter.

load shedding is it drop circuits as needed to stay running so it doesnt overload

It's rated at 2 Amps but only consumes 150 Watts of power so tha actual steady state draw is probably more like 1.25 Amps.

The open circuit/no-load voltage for this panel is about 22 volts. The voltage falls quickly when any load is applied, suggesting fair amount of internal resistance. I bought the Harbor Freight 45 watt, 3-panel kit a year ago to experiment with, and each of its panels also put out 22 volts with no load. Its behavior under load was similar. The Renogy has better reviews, and you get more output for the amount of surface area. Good luck.

It does draw a lil current as long as you have 12v and about 3.2amps of current ur good i have it on a 5 amp fuse and it has never blown. It does use about 32 watts. now this is just what i have clamped it useing at run not fire up. Hope that helped

To compensate for the inrush current, it is recommended to use a power supply that handles peak current at 12 amps or higher. After each start, the motor should draw around 5-6 amps at its rated torque, the lower the torque, the less the current draw. If you notice the motor draws beyond 6 amps when it is running, you are overloading the motor. Torque is proportional to current.

Not sure what the draw is, but I run it off a 15 amp circuit and have never tripped the breaker.

Not too sure what amps it draws but I think it would be more than 2 amps when under load Cheers Al.

You mean no-load current? According to manufacturer's spec, no load current is 1 Amp and 0.1 Amps with PowerSave mode, translates to 12 watts/1.2 Watts, although I'm NOT sure why this inverter incorporates manual PowerSave mode. It doesn't take much to add automatic power save functionality in the circuit. You really need to go to go to manufacturer's website, and download the specifications.

Not sure of current draw but it's very minimal. Only uses an 1 amp fuse. Works great!

Here is what I found on the web... Clean Power &lt;7% THD. Not sure if it's @ full load or not.

I see no reason you couldn't it uses very little power I susupect if there is no load on it it is drawing nothing

would be great to have an answer for you; I feel that is best answered by someone who knows wiring and current loads...I don't.

You get about 9.5 V not under load. (i.e. when the unit is measured into a high impedance voltmeter).

It displays the current that is actually flowing. I didn't see a way to have it tell you what you are setting the limit to. So I had to connect a load and then adjust it to see where it was set.
