Inverter Size Calculator Uganda | Find Your Perfect VA

Calculate the right inverter size for your home in Uganda. Enter your appliances and get the recommended VA rating. Avoid buying the wrong inverter.

Buying the wrong inverter size is the most expensive mistake Ugandan homeowners make. Too small and it trips during load shedding. Too large and you waste money. Our Inverter Size Calculator takes your exact appliance list, calculates total wattage, adds a 20% safety margin, and recommends the correct VA rating. It also tells you what type of inverter you need: Modified Sine Wave (under 1,500VA, for lights and basic electronics) or Pure Sine Wave (for fridges, pumps, sensitive electronics).

Key Tips

Calculate Total Load First

List every appliance you need during backup. Then add 20% for startup surge. The calculator does both automatically.

Match Battery to Inverter

Your battery bank (Ah) must match your inverter. The calculator gives you the battery size too. Buying one without the other is a waste.

Pure Sine for Fridges

Never run a fridge or freezer on modified sine wave. It damages compressors over time. Pure sine wave is essential for motors.

Uganda Inverter Calculator - FAQs

Add up the wattage of everything you want to run during a power cut. Add 20% for safety margin. Convert to VA (watts / 0.8). For most Ugandan homes running lights, TV, and a small fridge: 1,000-2,000VA. For lights, TV, fridge, and a couple of fans: 2,000-3,000VA. For running a full home including water pump or AC: 5,000VA+. Use our calculator for an exact figure based on your appliances.

Modified sine wave inverters (600-1,500VA) are cheaper and work for lights, fans, and basic electronics. Pure sine wave inverters (2,000VA+) are needed for fridges, pumps, microwaves, and any motor-driven appliance. If you plan to run a fridge during load shedding, get a pure sine wave inverter. The extra cost is worth avoiding appliance damage.

Small modified sine wave (600VA): UGX 200,000-400,000. Medium pure sine wave (2,000VA): UGX 800,000-1,500,000. Large pure sine wave (5,000VA): UGX 2,500,000-5,000,000. Prices vary by brand. Yoola stocks inverters from trusted brands with warranty. Use the calculator first, then browse our products for the right size.
