Can the 220V power supply in the car boil water?
2 Answers
Car 220V cannot boil water, it will burn the inverter in the car. The car 220V only has 120W power, while the kettle 1800W far exceeds the power of the inverter. The function of car power supply: Car power supply, also known as power inverter, is a device that can convert DC12V direct current into AC220V alternating current, which is the same as the mains, for general electrical appliances. It is a convenient power converter. Automatic protection: The car power supply fully considers the external use environment. When overload or short circuit occurs, it will automatically protect and shut down. The output voltage of the car power supply can be stabilized through its own feedback confirmation, and the change of no-load and rated voltage value is less than 10V.
I've seen many car owners curious about whether the 220V power outlet in their car can boil water. As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I have to say it generally doesn't work. The car provides 220V voltage through an inverter, but the power is mostly only 150 to 300 watts, while electric kettles often require over 1000 watts, which is beyond the capacity of such low power. Last time, a friend insisted on trying with a small kettle, and the result was the lights flickered and then went out, with the fuse blown, costing hundreds to fix. So, it's advisable not to force it, as it can easily damage the circuit or the inverter. If you really need to bring hot water for a long trip, it's more reliable to buy a small heating cup designed specifically for the cigarette lighter. Remember, the car's power supply is designed for light loads only, and forcing high-power usage can compromise driving safety.
