Act smart and select the most appropriate inverter for your household

An inverter finds application in the event of power failure. So, since power outages are high in our country, it is a wise decision to buy an inverter for your home. But choosing a suitable inverter for your home has become a daunting task these days.

First of all, you need to compute the capacity of the inverter which can satisfy your requirement. For this, you need to assess the power consumed by the different appliances for example, tubelight consumes 60 watts, fan consumes 70 watts, and laptop consumes 100 watts and so on. Now, you can calculate the total power requirement of your household and the same will be the capacity of the inverter in VA you intend to purchase. But as the power factor of inverter is not always equal to 1 and is less than 1, you need to multiply the VA ratings you computed with the power factor to obtain the inverter capacity. The next step is to select the capacity of battery needed. The higher your back-up requirements, higher will the capacity of battery you require and vice-versa.

Hence, now you do not have the need to ask anyone about the capacity of inverter and battery you require. You yourself can decide your requirement and choose the most reliable inverter manufacturer from a long list of inverter manufacturers available in the market and buy the right inverter for your home.
