1 kWh @ 230V

[r4v3r23]

[font=Helvetica, Arial,]so I want to install an electrical appliance that consumes 1kWh per day @ 230V[/font]

[font=Helvetica, Arial,]what must I do to make this happen?[/font]

[font=Helvetica, Arial,]Voltage 230 V[/font]
[font=Helvetica, Arial,]Max. 190 W / 1,0 A / 220-240 V / 50 + 60 Hz[/font]
[font=Helvetica, Arial,]Power consumption aprox. ca. 1,0 KWh/24 Std.[/font]

………...a cord and shore power...………………..

Welcome to the Forum...….the equipment requirements sound "foreign"...…..we're a mobile dwelling forum based in the USA

......and you're from___________?and we're powering _________?......with Batteries/Solar ?...……...for how long ?

from EU - looking for mobile/travelling power not shore

A generator is your best option then.

 

[highdesertranger]

yeah 1kWh is a @ 230V is a lot of power. I want you to think about this,

it is always easier and cheaper to conserve power then it is to make it.

with that in mind what do you plan on powering? are you planning on solar? batteries? generator? inverter? give us some more info.

You can buy 240v inverters or if they're the same stack 2 120v no problem. I'd use 24v panels anyway as wire size can be half. Good Luck!

A 500 watt air conditioner running the compressor for 5 hours is 2500 watt hours.  1000 watt hours is half that.  

The air conditioner usually is used mostly while the sun is shining so the entire 2.5 kwh doesn't go through the battery.  This question about the 190 watt appliance implies a duty cycle less than 100%.  If use is mostly when the sun shines the battery requirement is less than all that energy being stored in a battery.  

If you are in a place where 230 volts is common then inverters that produce 230 volts will be common.  The high voltage conjures thoughts of high power but it is only 190 watts.  An induction cooktop might be ten times that.  

A solar charged battery system capable of 190 watts is nothing out of the ordinary.  Five hours of that, 1000 watt hours, is 100 amp hours at 12 volts allowing 20% loss in the inverter.  A pair of 220 amp hour golf cart batteries can hold that much energy.  The amount of solar panel needed would depend on climate and latitude.  Additional battery would be needed to allow for rainy days.

Yep, 1 kwh per day is power consumed, no matter the voltage. You can consume 1 kwh at 12 volts or 1 kwh at 230 volts, there is no difference.....other than voltage. For a given wattage number, higher voltage naturally means less amperage, and vice versa.

A few good sized solar panels can produce this, and a few good sized batteries to store it, and then a 230 v inverter to deliver it.

Trying to do all of this in a mini-cooper is probably not practical, but it would be doable in a good sized 'caravan'...let us know more about the vehicle.

It looks like the equipment requirement you posted is 190 watts. 190 watts is 190 watts as Tx2Sturgis said. Not a huge power requirement. You'll need a decent battery to last a few days during low solar output though. Figure out that and then you can determine how much solar you will need to recharge that battery on a sunny (winter for worst case) day.
