Power consumption?

So while waiting for the shipment of our new XL we are building a power system with a pure sine inverter and batteries that will be charged from a few sources ultimately. Going through the specs either I'm missing that (very possible) or they are just listing voltage. Does anyone know the expected maximum consumption? Understand the variables involved in heatbed, etc. but we need to build to max use.

The European version quotes 240w input to the power supply

I've seen my XL5T peak over 400w when heating all the bed and nozzles. I think some have had problems when using UPS rated for less than 800watts.

The XL 5h has three 240W power supplies so there's your absolute max.  This suggests 3A max at 240V,  I have never seen 2A draw but I don't print extreme filaments.

Cheerio,
