For those who are unaware, the purpose of an off-grid inverter
is simple, yet incredibly important for anyone who is looking to set up an
off-grid or back up power system, including solar powered systems. Inverters
convert the DC power stored within a battery (direct current, 12V, 24V or 48V)
into AC power (alternating current, 230-240V) that can be used to run your household
items and electrical appliances, from fridges to televisions to mobile phone
chargers. Inverters are an essential item for anyone without access to a mains
power source, as they can easily provide a plentiful amount of electricity.
Inverters come in many different shapes and
sizes, and vary in a diverse amount of ways. There are two main contrasting
characteristics between different types of off-grid inverter. Costa power is

1.
The type of power output, categorized by which sine wave it uses
– modified or pure sine wave. Photonic Universe only
stocks pure sine wave inverters, which are more efficient and have a broader
range of suitable appliances they can power, compared to modified sine wave inverters.
2.
What internal frequency the inverter circuits operate at - low
frequency or high frequency (not to be confused with AC power output frequency
which is a standard 50Hz for our inverters).
We are
pleased to add low-frequency inverters to our catalogue, and this article is
going to help anyone who is looking to buy an inverter find out whether a
low-frequency inverter is right for them, so that they can make an informed and
confident purchase.
Low-frequency inverters have the advantage over high-frequency inverters
in two fields: peak power capacity, and reliability. Low-frequency inverters
are designed to deal with higher power spikes for longer periods of time than
high-frequency inverters. Power spikes can occur for a number of reasons (e.g.
devices like power tools, pumps, vacuum cleaners and other appliances with
electric motors require high starting power); when inverters experience such
spikes, they can endure the increased power for a short period of time before shutting
down in order to prevent any damage being done to them. Low-frequency inverters
have much greater peak power capacity to handle large loads with power spikes
than high-frequency inverters. In fact, low-frequency inverters can operate at
the peak power level which is up to 300% of their nominal power level for
several seconds, while high-frequency inverters can operate at 200% power level
for a small fraction of a second. The second main difference is reliability:
low-frequency inverters operate using powerful transformers, which are more
reliable and sturdy than the high-frequency inverter’s MOSFETs, which use
electronic switching and more prone to damage, particularly at high power
levels.
