Alternate Power Calculator 2.6.2 Beta is now available for testing.
I found an error in
my program. If you do not put a value in the top input box of "AC load wattage", an incorrect value is given. You
cannot leave the top box open and add values to lower boxes.
The newest version of the program has the following
features:
DC to AC power inverter size calculator
DC cable size calculator
DC load size calculator
AC load size calculator
Battery bank size calculator
Solar panel size calculator
Wind turbine size calculator
Micro hydro size calculator
Appliance Energy Cost Calculator
Inverter Load Game
Inverter Troubleshooting
Guide
Outback Power Systems' part numbers
Xantrex Prosine part numbers
Xantrex TRUEcharge battery charging
times.
*** Works with MS Vista, but some click buttons may be distorted.
Before I made the "Alternate
Power Calculator," I experimented with MS Excel and logic formulas. I have uploaded a copy of one of my experiments.
Feel free to download it and use the formulas as you seem fit. Enjoy!!!
If anyone has any comments regarding the
efficiency or formulas used in the program, drop me an email.
The program one other known issue. Some inputs
for the calculator require a specific format. All decimal values less than "1" will require "0" placed
in front of the decimal. i.e. 0.59. Also, all integers must have a decimal and "0" placed after it. i.e. 1.0 or
5.0.
The program is one of my hobbies and it is still free to download.
