Generators and inverters both provide power supply to the system during power outages. They have same common purpose that is to provide electricity. And function as a backup power system. Although they both have same purpose. But are differ in mode of operation, power capacity, mechanism, cost, operation, portability and maintenance requirements.
The details difference between generators and inverters are:
Generators and inverters mechanism:
Generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and produce electricity. This process takes place with the help of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and natural gas. These fuel helps the turbines or engine to move and generate electricity.
Again where inverter is a device that convert direct current into alternating current . The power to generate electricity through the help of DC comes from various sources like batteries, solar panels and wind turbines.
Power capacity of generators and inverters:
Generator can available in flexible size ranging from small that can be carried anywhere. Further they are available in large size too. And that provides a stable and great amount of energy to residential and commercial industries.
Inverters are generally small in size making them flexible to carry to camping and other places. Further due to the features it is more suitable to use for small house to provides energy supply to limited appliances and system.
Dependency of fuel:
Generator runs with the help of fuel so it needs constant supply of fuel to the engine to operate.
Moreover, inverter is environment friendly and is not depended upon fuel for the operation. They stores energy with the help of battery so they can be use even when primary sources of energy is unavailable.
Noise level:
Generator emits noise and pollution in the process of generating electricity.
Further, inverter operates in a quiet environment and doesn’t emit pollution.
Maintenance requirement:
As generator run through oil and lubricants so generator needs to change oil and should fill with fuel time to time.
On the other hand inverter doesn’t need maintenance service as compare to inverter making it suitable for sensitive appliances and devices.
In conclusion, the choice greatly depends upon power requirement, budgets and tolerance level of noise. Contact dharabijuli services pvt.ltd for further information and installation.
