Choosing the Right Inverter for Your Home: A Step-by-Step Guide

An inverter is a crucial investment for homes in areas prone to frequent power outages. It provides a reliable backup power source, ensuring uninterrupted operation of essential appliances. Gone are the days when technology was nascent, and people were looking for brands and local dealers for their knowledge. India has come a long way in technology, and the best part is the Lithium battery-based Inverter/UPS, which will take over from the inverter Battery Tubular-lead-based market. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting an inverter for your home:

       Power Rating (VA or Watts):

    • How to Determine your load: Calculate the total power consumption of the appliances you want to run on the inverter. The VA rating is a considerable confusion in the Indian market as one should look for the real Wattage of the Inverter as the VA is a confusion in the market BIS has made it compulsory to write the watt of an Inverter/UPS. Because of the confusion created by the companies by giving model names in VA or just plain models with simple 1100,1200 or 15o0 does not clarify the consumer about the actual wattage of the Inverter/UPS. As all the appliances have a rating written on them, one can consider 10% more than that rating when you calculate the total load of the home.
      1. Identify appliances: List all the devices you intend to run on the inverter.
      2. Check wattage: Look for the wattage rating on the label or specifications of each appliance.
      3. Calculate total wattage: Add up the wattage of all appliances.
      4. Add a buffer: Consider a 10% buffer for potential fluctuations or future additions.

      Choose an inverter with a wattage rating equal to or greater than your calculated load.

    • This machine use 220V and 16/10Amp current so will take 2200 Watt to 3520Watt so It’s easy to calculate the load by multiplying the voltage multiply by current drawn.

 

  • Waveform Type:
  • Pure Sine Wave: As far as Inverter/UPS is concerned the only acceptable waveform is Pure Sinewave and one should not even look at Inverter which has any other waveform then Pure Sinewave as that is required to run our LED lights, Fans, TVs, Fridge, microwave Ovens, washing machines, Mixer grinder etc. Waveform explanation video

        Battery Compatibility:

  • Check compatibility: Ensure the inverter is compatible with Lithium Battery based or one should buy Lithium Battery as a backup as the Lithium battery is wall mountable and life is proven concept. The pollution created by the Tubular Lead Acid battery
  •  Battery backup time: The inverter’s capacity and while buying check the C rating of the battery as the tubular battery comes in C20 capacity and Lithium battery comes in C1 capacity which makes the hell of a difference. backup time calculations chart

  • Look for high efficiency: There need to be specifications check where the efficiency will be different for Charger and Inverter section. Higher the efficiency of the Inverter/UPS lower will be the electricity bill, and you will get more backup time on the same battery.
  • Remote monitoring: The Inverter/UP should have the IOT based facility with the dedicated application where you can watch the load and status of the Inverter etc. https://suvastika.com/bluetooth-and-wi-fi-to-revolutionize-solar-and-inverter-ups-technology/
  • Digital Warranty: This is the feature which helps you to maintain the Inverter without any bill or dependence on dealer distributor for the future warranty claims. As the Digital warranty can be seen by the consumer any time on the mobile application or through the computer having the dedicated software. digital warranty video
  • Switching Time: transfer time of the Inverter/UPS is very important to check as it can run computers TVs etc. without any breakup time.

  • BIS Certification: For India one has to buy the BIS certified Inverter/UPS or having international safety standard like CE or UL certification.
  • Technology Patent: One should see before buying the Inverter/UPS whether the company has any Technology Patent and if it has the technology Patent then you have the peace of mind.

    Safety Features:

    • Overload protection: This is an important feature of any Inverter to shut down the Inverter with warning and should have one more chance by buzzer and lights indication where the consumer can reduce the load, and it’s automatically keep working and in case of Excessive load it shuts down the Inverter/UPS and can be reset through the mobile application or through the front switch of the Inverter/UPS
    • Short circuit protection: This feature helps the consumer to protect the appliances connected with the Inverter/UPS as this shut down the Inverter with buzzer indication and one can see on the mobile application and can reset through the mobile application after removing the short circuit or reducing the load connected with the Inverter/UPS.
    • Battery High Protection: This is a very important feature as in case of two batteries connected with a single battery Inverter/UPS will give indication and shut down the Inverter as it can be dangerous for the internal circuitry of an Inverter to run on higher voltages. As some time electricians try to connect the battery in series to increase the backup time which can be very damaging for the Inverter internal circuitry. So this feature operates and shut down the Inverter immediately and gives the beep and indication one can see on the mobile application.
