Precautions for using an Inverter
Some precautions should be taken while using an inverter. Some of them are as follows:
- Store the inverter in a cool dry place.
- Ensure proper ventilation so that the inverter works at room temperature.
- Use fuse or circuit breaker on DC part so as to avoid overloading
- Regular Maintenance is must. Check the wirings or any other electrical part so as to avoid damages.
- When inverter is not in use, disconnect it so as to avoid any potential damage.
Introduction to Inverters
Current is defined as the flow of electrons. It is denoted by I and the SI unit of current is Ampere. There are mainly two types of currents: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). In general AC is used to travel over long distances and users require DC.
So, there are many devices that are used to convert incoming Alternating current to Direct Current. Examples include SMPS, Power Adapters, Chargers etc. But we also need devices that convert Direct Current to Alternating Current.
