Hi There,
So I want to buy this LED screen for my business and I want to power it via a generator.
Now my question is how many hours or days can a generator last before I have to fill it up with petrol again.
Now the screen i'm getting says that it consumes: Max: 460W/m2 or Average: 180W/m2 (and the screen size is 3.84m2) now not sure if this per hour or?
Please advise me what kind of generator I need to have the longest run time of this screen.
Regards,
So your little project takes 700 watts average and 1800 watts peak. You need a 2000 watt inverter powered by deep discharge (golf cart) batteries. One battery will run your display for about five hours if the generator stops running, and you can double the number of batteries to get ten hours of run time.
Now 1800 watts is close to 2 1/2 horsepower, so you need a small gas engine running a high capacity (120 amps) auto alternator. Any small gas engine will run about six hours on a gallon of fuel. Depending on your installation, it probably would be safer to run the motor on propane or butane rather than gasoline.
