Would anyone know what the DC to DC converter can support in terms of load. I would like to add a set of amplifiers that would require about 175 amps of load to the system. I know that audio load is dynamic and not continuous unless playing sine waves.

I just would like to know if there is headroom, or at what point i’m overtaxing the electrical system.

 

Interesting question. Easy to answer for a car with an alternator for a hybrid I don't know. The highest current fuse outside of the inverter and hybrid battery I think is 100 amps so does that mean the battery gets a maximum charge of 100 amps at any given time? There are a couple of techs here that work for Toyota/Lexus hopefully they know more.

 

None of the Techs will ever find this tread stashed away in the Hybrid sub forum.

 

Here is a story about a guy who ran an 1100 watt inverter off his Prius and used it extensively after a hurricane.

Personally, I wouldn't think the traction battery would charge the 12v battery any faster than 30 amps or so, and maybe quite a bit less, since a lower charging rate probably helps battery life and there is no need for a heavy discharge for cranking an engine.

" were able to have a relatively normal life with refrigerator, hot water, heat, lights, internet and television, all on 1100W!" He certainly could not have run many of these at the same time. I doubt that he could have the refrigerator compressor and the blower motor in his heating system running at the same time. However, with judicious power management it was better than nothing. I have an 11,000 watt natural gas fueled generator that runs most but not all things in my house. I cannot have the air-conditioning and the microwave run at the same time!

Can anyone lead me to where I can find the inverter fuse? If I can find the main fuse, I can narrow it down to 100 or 150 amps.

 

In an effort to help the next guy, I located the fuse for the dc to dc converter, which is sized at 150 amps.
