Hey Fellas,
I need to convert 12dc to ac with as high as possible amps.
I am currently using a 150W inverter that puts out 240v ac with 10 amps but need more amps.
Any Ideas???
Cheers
 

If you've got 240volts and 10 amps, that's 2400 W. If you are able to get 2400W out of a 150W inverter, you should win some kind of Nobel prize.
 

Not necessarily. 240V at 10A is 2400VA. Most tinverters and UPSes I know are rated in VA at a certain power factor. If the inverter is rated for 2.4kVA at 0.625 PF, there's no conflict. Or the inverter is rated for 150W at 0.8 PF and the OP could be forcing a 10A output at overload.

These are just theories. We can't know for certain unless and until the OP posts clarifications.
 

Oops! You're right. Must have got out of the wrong side of bed :). I got mixed up by a factor of 10. Please disregard my post.
