Can I use the power post for cooking

you need to use 117. power law states you dont use all of 120 volts

 

i had a ac line bust onetime as i was driving down the road. truck filled up with white fog super fast

 

We had a engine fire one time and the AC line put it out, potentially saving the car.

 

i had to drive a truck to a shop onetime with no clutch. had to shut it off at the light. bump the key a little to put it in gear. light turned green and start it up. hope and pray theres nobody in front of you

 

We had a older truck that was absolute refuse to move with anything on the transmission.

A salty oldster waved us all aside, I'll see you at the shop. And drove the truck that could not be driven.

To this day I am not sure what he had to do to make that happen, but I can tell you it was difficult to keep up with him in the spare truck.

 

On FLD 120, when the ball and socket wear out on the clutch linkage, you have to drive real careful. Drove about 20 miles to Truck Stop in Ontario CA once.

 

I am wondering if you posted this question on another forum, if you did, read my reply there, if not here it is.

You can't use the posts.

There needs to be an inverter in between the power source and the rice cooker.

The rice cooker I have draws more than 300 watts, according to my meter it works out to 316 watts at 120 volts, lowering the voltage raises the wattage - 115 volts gave me 327 watts.

Do not know why but that is what it is.

So with that, the inverter I have on the bench produces 115 volts, so using that you will draw 2.8 amps at 115 volts.

BUT that does not mean it takes 327 watts from the inverter with the 12 - 14 volt source. There is overhead on the conversion within the inverter, it averages at 10% so that turns out to be 360 watts.

Now it depends on the voltage of the input of the inverter, it can be as low as 12 volts and high as 14.

So at 12 volts you need 30 amps

So at 14 volts you need 26 amps

Most posts won't handle more than 15 amps.
