 Inverting from DC to your local shore power spec will necessarily incur losses.  These might be 10-30%, depending on the inverter, the inverter's efficiency spec, etc.  In the absence of hard information you might use 20% losses as a rule of thumb.  This means it will require 20% more power to run your load than the rating spec.
-w * 0.8 efficiency = 60w demanded from the system
+w / 0.8 efficiency = 60w demanded from the system

 > One way that I used to check computer/electronic power supplies... take a [[https://amzn.to/2XKSFfp|Kill-a-Watt meter]] and measure the power factor. If it was >0.9, it probably would work fine -- BB((https://forum.solar-electric.com/discussion/comment/191612#Comment_191612))((power factor is the PF button on the kill-a-watt))
+Appliances with motors tend to run poorly and hotter than usual.
