common inverters used for house wiring and power are not suitable for running computers... the computer will restarts at the time of change over from regular power to inverter power supply...
there are UPS available in the market that can run more than one computer... however, you have to find put whether such setup can bear the load of 20 computers... may be possible...!

Inverter comes in different configurations, starting from 500w onwards. Domestic inverters wont work for 20 computers you need a branded inverter with a 5KW or more capacity for 20 PCs. Contact any inverter dealer they should help you after surveying your requirements. Best go for a LPG generator for the long run. Inverts are good for 2 years only after that you have to replace the batteries which are the most expensive part.

I hope you want to know if an inverter is suitable for 20 computers and how long it will last?
Well you can have computer compatible inverter of suitable rating (8 - 10 KVA will be okay for you considering 400 to 500VA load per computer). The rating will depend upon load per computer (LCD monitors have less load than glass tube i.e.CRT monitors ).
The duration of backup will depend upon the number of backup batteries and its Ahr. (Ampere hour) capacity. More the number and Ahr. capacity of batteries as backup more backup time you will have.

My RV (recreational vehicle) will run the twenty computers about 2 hours, maybe 2.5 hours, however it has quite a lot of reserve, three heavy duty batteries. With a full tank of gas to recharge, I could probably run the computers a couple of days.

It depends on the capacity of the inverter.
