Power inverter buying guide
Inverters or inverter/chargers can provide power for your home during an outage to keep refrigerators, freezers and sump pumps operating. Inverters also play an essential part in
Allowing you to power your domestic appliances, almost anywhere. Power inverters work by converting DC power from a battery into usable AC power. Meaning you could run your 230V appliances from your car starter battery. However, not all power inverters are created equal, and not all appliances are suitable to run on them.
Should you want to run more than 1 appliance, then we will have to do a very small caclulation. This involves adding together the wattage ratings from all of the appliances that you want to run simultaneously. This will give you the maximum power draw (W) that you'll ever need to pull from your power inverter at any given time.
Inverters have become a household essential for managing power outages and running appliances during blackouts. But not all appliances are suitable for inverter use—especially if you're using a standard home inverter. At A&E Dunamis, we manufacture high-efficiency inverters designed to support a wide range of household and office appliances.
When choosing an inverter for a house, you should consider its size, type, and potential features. Two major types of inverters exist in the market: modified sine wave and pure sine wave. Pure sine wave inverters are expensive but they can deliver a reliable and consistent power supply to AC appliances, thereby maintaining their safety.
