The blue line is the current that the Toshiba Television Set is drawing from the battery. You can see that it is moving up and down from about 4 to 7 Amps. It is moving up and down because when the Clifford cartoon shows a scene where the screen is mostly white, the current goes up because all 3 guns on the television tube are active. (the blue, red, and green all at once). When the screen goes dark, the current drops down to 4 Amps. If you want to know how much power the battery is putting out at this point then you need to use the Power formula: Power = Voltage x Current. Or P=IV. At this point you can see that some times the battery is supplying 4X12=48 Watts, and sometimes 7X12= 84 Watts.

At this point
in the chart the battery is connected directly to the inverter and the Toshiba
TV set is playing a Clifford DVD cartoon. The red and
white lines show you that the battery is supplying a voltage of around 12 Volts DC.
