= Calculating AC Electrical Capacity =
== Summary ==
Calculating AC (alternating current) load is an activity in determining the capacity of the boat's house bank of DC (direct current) batteries. Peak load is also necessary in sizing the inverter to convert DC to AC. Over estimating the numbers to provide comfort in the individual calculations is not recommended. It is better to add spare capacity calculations directly to the [[:Category:InverterSystems|inverter ]] and [[:Category:ElectricalPrimarySupply|house bank ]] specifications.
Do the AC load calculation first because it will provide data for the peak load. However, peak load is shown first because it is shorter, and so it won't get lost at the bottom of the page.
