What is a Power Inverter?
8ZED Power Inverters are devices designed for powering household appliances from a car, or similar battery. They convert 12V DC battery power to 240V AC mains power and are an ideal source of portable mains power. Being compact and portable, power inverters can be used in cars, caravans, boats, 4WDs and trucks. Using a power inverter for household appliances is a much cheaper option than purchasing specialized 12V appliances for those times when mains power is not available.
A power inverter changes DC power into conventional AC power that you can use to operate all kinds of devices like electric lights, kitchen appliances, microwaves, power tools, TVs, radios, and computers. Often an inverter is used in a mobile application such as a car or boat where DC power is commonly available ( usually 12VDC ). You can plug the power inverter into the cigarette lighter jack of your vehicle and run your computer, TV, etc. off of the vehicles power system. Power inverters come in a wide range of sizes varying in watts. The amount of wattage you will need depends on the device you are trying to power. For example if your computer uses 300 watts you will need a minimum 350 watt inverter to make sure you will have adequate power to handle the fluctuation of your computer’s power draw. Another consideration is whether you will need a single outlet or dual outlet inverter. This basically is dependent on whether you will be operating multiple devices at once off the inverte
A power inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) battery power to 115 volt AC (alternating current) household power. It allows you to use household appliances and electrical equipment in your car. A power inverter allows you to take a video game console, a TV, or a toaster on vacation with you.
