For buyers, they don’t know how to determine whether the inverter generator is suitable for their own use. We summarize some points that they need to pay attention to:
- Confirm the power of the electrical appliance.
- Determine its peak power.
- Noticing input voltage, current, frequency.
Peak power: It refers to the power used by the electrical appliance to be turned on at the moment when the device is turned on.
For example, TVs, electric drills, when you turn them on, you will hear sounds, voltage jumps and other phenomena. This is the shock phenomenon at the moment when the appliance is turned on. Therefore, the peak power is different from the rated power. Generally speaking, resistive loads, such as light bulbs, do not have peaking problems. But for some appliances, there are generally 3 to 5 times the peak. Therefore, we should pay attention to the inverter generator when we buy it, because the inverter is double peak. Such as a TV, the nominal rated power is 75W, but the peak value is 5 times. Then its peak value is 350W. In this way, you can't start it with a 100W inverter since the 100W inverter mainly has a peak value of 200W. So we have to use the 300W machine first, it has a peak value of 600W, and it can be turned on immediately.
Appliance Peak: The bulb does not have peak power. A 100W inverter can light a 100W bulb. TV sets have 3 to 5 times the peak power. For 75W TV, you need to use more than 300W machine to start. The electric drill has 3 times the peak power, and the peak power of the computer monitor is generally more than 6 times. So it is still a bit difficult to start the 300W confidential.
The peak power of the laptop is generally 70W, and it can be started with a 150W inverter, because it is generally 3 times the peak power. For digital products such as mobile phone chargers and cameras, a 100W inverter is generally sufficient.
We have inverters of different specifications for you to choose from. Rated DC voltage is 12V, peak power from 650W to 5500W. Please see the inverter generator price list below.
