What is an Inverter?
A power inverter is a machine that converts low-voltage DC (direct current) power from a battery to standard household AC (alternating current) power. An Inverter allows you to operate electronics, household appliances, tools and other electrical equipment using the power produced by a car, truck or boat battery or renewable energy source, such as solar panels or wind turbines. An inverter gives you power when you are “off the grid” so you have portable power, whenever and wherever you are needed.
What represents the difference between an inverter and inverter/charger?
An inverter simply converts DC (battery) power into AC power and then passes it along to connect equipment. An inverter/charger does the same, except it is an inverter with batteries attached. It remains connected to an AC power source to continuously charge the attached batteries when AC utility power – also knew as shore power – is available.
An inverter/charger is a relaxing alternative to gas generators, with no fumes, fuel or noise to deal with. During prolonged outages, you may be required to run a generator occasionally to recharge the batteries, but the inverter/charger lets you run the generator less often, conserving fuel.
What a Power Inverter uses For?
Simply put, a power inverter delivers AC power when there’s no outlet available or plugging into one is impractical. This could be in a car, truck, motorhome or boat, at a construction site, in an ambulance or EMS vehicle, at a campground or a mobile medical care in a hospital. Inverters or inverter/chargers can provide power for your home during an outage to keep refrigerators, freezers and sump pumps operating. Inverters are also an essential part in renewable energy systems.
