If my blender is rated at 250W, does that mean thats the maximum amount of power it can possibly consume? or is it a minimum, or an average?
does it take into account how much load you place on the motor?
Lets say i want to run it on a small 500W inverter in my van, how can i roughly estimate how much power its going to draw once im blending my food?
i wouldn’t want to risk blowing it up and i have no testing equipment..

Even with a heavy load on the motor, it shouldn’t draw much more than its rating. The problem with an electric motor specifically is they draw a surge of power to initially start turning. Depending on the inverter, this could cause it to fail or turn off to protect itself – even if the steady load isn’t enough to cause it to overheat with long-term use
