I have an induction plate, which has adjustable Watt control, from 500w 1000w 1500w and 2000w. then also variable temp control from 65deg to 220deg. Can some one tell me what the different Watt setting do?.
Cheers
Greg

Surely it means that if you select 500W the plate will draw 500W to heat 'whatever' to the selected temperature. If you select 1000W the plate will draw 1000W to heat 'whatever' to the selected temperature twice as fast because it uses twice the power.
This would be handy if you only had a 500W inverter to run it on.....just would take longer to heat than the higher settings.
Can you supply the brand please as it sounds handy.
Thanks, for your explaination, but I seriously couldnt tell the difference in time boilig water at 500w compared to 2000w, but I will try again, The brand is Ecoheat, and the specs are below, they say you need 1000w inverter to run from solar, So i'm going to try that at the weekend. We love it, instant heat, and so quick.

If your inverter is only 1000W continous rating then you should only run the hotplate on the 1000W setting
IF inverter less the 1000W continuos rating then you will have to use the 500W setting
The other problem is the induction hot plate may draw Amps from the inverter than you would expect, 1000W divided by 240V would equal 4.16A[ their 3.12A is wrong]
This is due to an effect known as power factor & the actual current will be higher than the caculated
