Is there a way of calculating approximate back up time when battery banks are connected in parallel? (Total of eight 6volt batteries 240Ah)

Nice simple calculator

That is
My inverter installation is almost complete. However when I switch the kettle on with the mains on , the inverter beaps with a message indicating overload. Why does this happen when the mains are supplying. I connected the kettle on another plug point still with mains on and there was no problem at all. Any clue what could lead to this?
I know in older homes if you turn something on like a kettle the lights would "dim" for a second and go normal again. Could it be that turning on the kettle creates a dip in the power flow for a second that causes the beep?
peace is a state of mind

You may have a UPS inverter, in other words the load is always supplied by the inverter, and the battery is always on charge/stand by, so effectively the load can then not exceed the UPS rating at any time.

Interesting enough the Inverter doesn't bleep when i use the same kettle in other power points.
I'm not sure why that would be.
Did you sort out the problem with the inverter error code indicating overvoltage on the batteries? What was the cause out of interest?
