Ok so I have a power supply at 12v 2A (with safety overcurrent cut-off) to test a car inverter
the strange thing is. I have a monitor/pc screen that takes 163w of power to run
and at 12v 2A theres no way to get 163w of power.
yet the monitor turns on just fine! i'm so confused how its possible the inverter has over 100% efficiency or something?
It was a cheap 300w 23$ inverter off amazon for use in emergencies if the power goes out. yet it somehow steps up 2A 12v 20W to over 160w 110v?
The weird thing is it's incapable of lighting a 20w fluorescent bulb (power supply cuts out from over-current protection.)
I dont know how its able to run a 100W+ monitor yet not run a 20w bulb.
I just don't get it. it doesnt look possible but somehow its capable of doing so.
