Yes, increase the load. The limit is when it stops.

That is it. The limit is in the design. Increasing voltage if possible will also produce more current. Until the converter shuts off or breaks down.

I wonder why there are so many silly question been asked in this forum. Aren't this is an Electrical Engineering Forum where, we, Engineer and Electrician are helping each other to solve problem and discuss on how to solve problem.?

There are question asking how to increase current? but first of all "Why" do you want to increase the current and "What" is the propose to increase the current?

In a motor running on any given voltage supply, the mechanical torque and the electrical current are proportional to each other. You cannot simply increase the current of the inverter or the motor, unless if you want to blown up your inverter.

For pc we got a UPS right note its nameplate,mine is around 600VA capacity at 0.6 PF means 360W.Now divide the capacity with voltage you require to get maximum current it can provide.Say 30V,So 600/30=20A.But its wrong because the UPS may be designed for 230V or 110V hence it could hold only 600/110=5A.An increase in amp blow its fuse.If you Short the fuse and continue to burn the wires.If you replace the wire and continue to burn the circuit.If you are well experted in circuit design you should not have asked this question. Get educated. Hit

what i understood from his question is.. how he can increase the out put of his inverter to meet additional load?

well u need to add more batteries of same voltage in parallel or u need to replace old batteries with a bigger AH battery.

M i right?

No, put simply increasing the battery capacity increases the available run time for the same output load, not the maximum UPS/inverter/power supply current. The output current is limited by the UPS/inverter/power supply electronics and, to some extent the size of the battery.

This has also been covered in numerous previous threads on CR4 (try the CR4 search function on the right).

CR4 is a great place to learn but please don't post guesses if you don't know, it just confuses other people reading CR4 looking for answers and to learn. No disrespect intended.

You first get educated. I find no difference between you and the guy who posted the question.

Depends on what current you want to increase. Inverting current is set by design, however charge current goes by voltage. We have low voltage here 99-105vac and batteries took a long time to charge. Using a transformer i increased my voltage 22 volts and charge time decreased. you must make sure your inverter has over voltage protection in case voltage goes up as transformer is not regulated. Mine inverts at 132 volts. Thats about all you can do.

"how can u increase the amount of current in an inverter?"

AKINOLA,

I think there is a very basic translation / semantics problem here that has people guessing at the intent of your question.

"In", used all by itself in this context implies that the inverter is holding something or using something, in this case current. An inverter would supply current, in which case it would have a current capacity, meaning how much current it can safely deliver without suffering destructive consequences. If that was the intent of your question, then the answer would be, redesign the inverter. The current capacity of an inverter has everything to do with heat dissipation and the tolerance of the components used to manufacture it. You cannot "increase" its capability of delivering more current without addressing those core issues, and that usually means redesigning it.

If you are thinking that an inverter takes "in" current to use it, then you are mistaken. Although there is a small overhead burden of power (and thus current) to operate the electronics, an inverter is still primarily a delivery device. It is the load connected to the inverter that takes power "in" and uses it, which is what was alluded to in previous responses.
