Calculation of power consumption

List of hardware with power consumption details

Hardware Quantity Amps Voltage Watts Power source
MINI PC 2 10 18 360 Power inverter
Smart Hub 2 3.75 12 90 Power inverter
Mobile WIFI router 1 1.5 12 18 Power inverter
Laptop (optional) 1 3.25 20 65 Power inverter
Additional power supply (scanner) 1 10 12 120 Direct 12V
Sum 653

Car alternator power – 12V * 140A = 1680 W

Power balance – 1680 – 653 = 1027 W
