Your question only makes sense to me if you want to use the AC-powered charger that came with your tablet and somehow run it with DC because otherwise you wouldn't need an inverter. Normally you plug your AC-powered charger into the 117 volt 60 hertz AC power socket (in the USA, not in Europe or elsewhere abroad) at home or office or wherever. An "inverter" creates AC output power from DC input power. Say you're in your car. The "cigarette" lighter supplies nominally 12 volts DC, though it's more like 13.6 volts DC when the engine is running and powering the alternator. You can't power your tablet directly with that -- the voltage is too high. You could use the "12 volts" to power an inverter that produces 60 hertz, 117 volts AC and then plug your AC-powered tablet charger into that. Then all you need to know is how much AC power the inverter can provide. I've measured the power needed to charge my android (Vizio) tablet. The AC-powered charger needs about 10 watts of power. That's a very light load for an inverter, so I reckon just about any inverter should work.

Which kind of inverter is needed to run a table fan?

The voltage and frequency should be marked on the fan. This should match the voltage and frequency of the power coming out of the inverter. The inverter also has be capable of supplying anough power (in watts).


How do you calculate the size of a car power inverter to power a small space heater?

Regardless of the size needed by the heater, the car's alternator will be the limiting factor. If you oversize the inverter to more than the alternator can handle you may burn out the alternator. Heaters consume allot of amperage.


What size of an inverter generator would you need to run a MacBook Pro?

Look on the AC power adapter and read its rating in watts. You will need an inverter with at least that output capacity.


What size inverter do you need to go from ac to dc for a Kenmore model 16562 chest freezer?

A: It not size but rather capacity. the capacity will be the ac power consumption AC volts X AC current that will get Watts. So the capacity of the inverter should be the same watts plus a safety and efficiency power if the watts is 100 watts i would buy a 125 watts minimum


What is the advantage of inverter generators?

There are many advantages of inverter generators. Some of these advantages include having a smaller size whilst also having higher fuel efficiency and high power output.


How big of an inverter to run a 115v 60hz 3.0 amp device?

To calculate the size of the inverter needed, multiply the device's operating voltage (115V) by its current draw (3.0A) to get the power consumption in watts (115V * 3.0A = 345W). To be safe and accommodate any power surges, choose an inverter with a continuous power output of at least 400-500 watts.

Can you convert a 120 volt plug in into a plug to go in your cigar plug in a car?

You could if you have an inverter that can change 12 VDC to 120 VAC. Just plug it into the cigar lighter socket. On the back of the inverter there will be a 120 volt receptacle built into the inverter. Check the load of what you want to plug into it to ascertain that you purchase the correct size of inverter. <><><><><> Keep in mind that power is power, and a typical cigar lighter socket puts out about 72 watts. The inverter will only be able to do less than that.


What size of Graphic tablet should I purchase for home and hobby use?

The size of tablet for home and hobby use depends on what your doing with it. Generally a 7" to 12" will allow you to draw graphics at ease.


What is 220 Ac volt fan total load at 12 volt battery?

They are not compatible. You cannot connect any AC device to a DC battery without a inverter. The size of the inverter determines what it will run. And the wattage of the fan determines what size inverter to buy.


Where can I find tablet comparisons?

Comparing tablet to tablet is easy. Look at the camera size, tablet overall size, memory size, and processing speeds. Ask your friends what they think of the tablets they have. Pose a question on Facebook and see what your online friends have to say.


What size power inverter do you need for a laser printer?

You need at least 6 times the wattage. Call Samlex.com. This is for the surge and heat fuser. This is too expensive so I am going for a portable generator.
