Whenever you’re buying an extension cord, AVR, transformer, or other forms of appliance protection; the common question asked would be “What’s your capacity requirement?”

The mistake most consumers make is they simply use their device’s indicated capacity (as seen in the device nameplate or instruction manual) to determine the capacity requirement of their device. However, to their surprise, their device keeps tripping or usually ends up overloaded (burnt appliance, blown fuse). This is because you used the wrong capacity requirement

The safest thing to do is to ask the seller/manufacturer the recommended capacity for your equipment as they would know best. However, if they are unable to respond to you – we’ve written this article to help you calculate the total capacity requirement of your devices, so feel free to use this as a calculator guide for AVR capacity, transformer capacity, extension cord capacity, and so on.

Alternatively, if you don’t feel confident to calculate your capacity requirements, or perhaps you don’t know the wattage or ampere rating of your equipment, then you can also opt to make use of a Power Meter which can help you determine the actual power consumption, as well as the current drawn by your appliance in real-time.

features of the PPM

But, if you have all available information, then we’ll walk you through the steps you need to take below.

Step 1: Identify the Total Capacity requirements

Below Wattages are examples only, as actual capacity requirements will vary from brand to brand. Add up the capacity of the devices you plan to plug in. In this example, we are planning to plug in an LCD TV (250 Watts) and a Printer (50 Watts)

 

Step 2: Determine which Safety Margin formula to use

Two key points to highlight:

  • If you have the ampere and volts information of your appliance, it is preferable to use these two data points to calculate for the Total Capacity (Watts) consumption. We find that this tends to provide a more accurate representation of actual power consumption. The formula for Watts = Volts x Amps
  • If the information provided to you on the device or by the supplier is already in Peak Capacity terms, then there is no need to apply the additional 200% motor allowance as indicated above. Instead, you can use the devices without motor safety margin formula instead

For more information on the difference between Continuous Capacity and Peak Capacity, you can check out this article.

 

Step 3: Calculate the Capacity Requirement using the Safety Margin formula

Both LCD TV and Printer do not have a motor, so we’ll use the devices without motor safety margin formula

This means, if you want to run both devices at the same time, you will need an extension cord/AVR/transformer whose capacity is at least 375 Watts

    What AVR should I use when may AC inverter 1 HP having Power of 760watts. Hope you can help me. Thank you.

      Good day! For high powered equipment, we typically recommend you check with the manufacturer/supplier directly as they would be the most knowledgeable about the equipment’s actual power consumption. To be safe, we would assume that 760 Watts is your aircon’s average power, so you’d need a ~2300 Watts AVR to accommodate the startup power motor consumption. We hope this helps.

    How about an 8 cu ft inverter refrigerator? How will I compute it?

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! You’d need to check for the power consumption data of your refrigerator (preferably in amps). Once you have that data, simply multiply the amps by the voltage = average consumption. To take into account max power consumption, multiply the average consumption by 3. The value you get is then the AVR/transformer capacity you require for your refrigerator.
      We hope this helps!

    Hi, i have a 110v 1400w air fryer, which product will you recommend? Thanks

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! Please see our recommendations below, depending on your planned usage:
      a) If you will rarely use the air fryer, or use only for a limited amount of time (e.g. 15-30 minutes at a time), we recommend the PT 2000 – a transformer that will allow you to use your 110V device in the Philippines: https://panther.ph/product/pt-2000w-110v-step-down-transformer
      b) If you plan to use the air fryer regularly, or for long periods of time, then we would recommend the PVR 2000 – an AVR with built-in transformer that can protect your air fryer from voltage fluctuations: https://panther.ph/product/pvr-2000-relay-type-avr

    Hi, what type of AVR should be used for a 1.5HP treadmill? Per Google research, 1.5HP is about 1200watts – is that correct? Also, for its plug, we are using a universal adaptor that says it’s 10A. Is that safe?

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! The average power consumption of 1.5HP treadmill is 1200 Watts, HOWEVER a treadmill is a motorized equipment so you would need to take into account the startup power consumption when choosing an appropriate AVR to purchase. Note that the standard measure is to multiply the average power consumption by 3 for motorized equipment -> which would mean you’d require an AVR capacity of ~3600 Watts maximum (~15A). This is a rough estimate only however. We do recommend you check with the treadmill manufacturer for these types of high powered equipment as they’d usually design it with power efficiency in mind, so the max power consumption could be lower.

      Regarding the type of AVR to be used, a relay type AVR would be sufficient for a treadmill.

      Regarding your question on the universal adaptor, a 10A adaptor might not suffice IF the max capacity is really 3,600 Watts. Again, kindly check with the treadmill manufacturer to confirm.

      We hope this helped clarify!

    Hi. May I know if it’s safe to plug in Rated 120W – 230V Refrigerator to 220V AVR Servo-Moor Control?

    Also, is a Microwave with Rated 1500W – 230V needs an AVR? We know that this has no Motor.

    What’s your recommendation?

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! Yes, it is safe to plug in a Refrigerator to a 220V Servo Motor Control AVR, provided your AVR capacity is sufficient (~500W should suffice if the rated ampere is less than 0.72A.
      For your microwave, if you only use it sporadically (e.g. less than 10 minutes at a time), then you don’t really need an AVR for it given minimal usage. However, if you use it regularly, then placing it with an AVR would provide voltage regulation protection. If that’s the case, we would recommend you use a 2000W AVR for the microwave.

      Good day! For high powered appliances like aircon, we highly recommend you check with the manufacturer/supplier as the aircon might have power consumption savings design that we are not aware of. However, if we take the standard computation, you would need a 3000 Watts AVR. Alternatively, you could also consider the PVP 3500 (Voltage Protector): https://panther.ph/product/pvp-3500-panther-voltage-protector/

    • Panther Support

      Good day! We based it off the ampere rating, which is a more accurate representation of the actual power consumption of your refrigerator.

      For your reference, the calculation is as follows:

      Watts consumption = Voltage X Ampere = 230V * 1.5A = 345 Watts
      As the refrigerator has a motor, we then apply an allowance for the startup power motor consumption = 345 Watts * 3 = 1,035 Watts

      Because of this, we recommend the PVE 1500 D. Kindly let us know if you have any other questions, thank you!

If I were to add the recommended buffer, the ref is calculated at 759W (253W*3 buffer) while the TV is calculated at 194W (155W*1.25 buffer), so a total of 953W. I wonder if I can pair both of these at the same 1000w AVR? Given that the TV is not a high-powered device.

      Good day! From our knowledge, most convection ovens would have motors. As such, we would calculate it as 15amps x 110 volts x 3 (accounting for startup) = 4950 Watts. Keeping this in mind, we would recommend the PT 5000 stepdown transformer so you can safely use your oven here in the Philippines: https://panther.ph/product/pt-5000w-110v-step-down-transformer/
      To be 100% sure though, we would also recommend checking with your supplier to understand (a) the actual ampere consumption, (b) if the design has a motor inside, and (c) if they have a recommended transformer capacity to ensure safe use.

      Good day! Based on the wattage info, PVE 1001 D (provided these are 220-230V appliances) should be sufficient. However, best to check the ampere info to be 100% sure as those are typically more accurate when used in calculation. We hope this helps!

    Good day!

    I purchased a Panther PDD 1000 Power On Delay for our PANASONIC NR-BP292VD inverter refrigerator.

    Rated Voltage: 230 V
    Rated Current: 0.45 A
    Rated Power Input: 65 W
    Defrost Input: 140 W
    Defrost Element Input: 140 W

    As per computation you provided above, it should be…

    230 × 0.45 × 3 = 310.5 Watts
    Is this correct? Does it mean I bought the right device? PDD 1000?

    I’m concerned because it says 220 V, meanwhile my refrigerator is 230 V.
    But if wattage is the only concern I should consider, did I buy the right product? Please help. Thank you.

      Good day!

      Yes, the PPD 1000 is the correct product for your refrigerator if what you’re interested in is power-on-delay protection (protection from voltage surge post-power outage). The Power-on-Delay just allows the voltage to pass through, so if your outlet supply is 230V, then the power that will be supplied to your refrigerator through the Power-on-Delay will still be 230V.

      However, if you’re looking for a voltage regulation device to ensure the right voltage is provided to your refrigerator, then we would recommend the PVE 501 D instead: https://panther.ph/product/pve-500-d-relay-type-avr/

      We hope this helps!
