Let’s begin. THE KEY TAKEAWAY: An inverter generator is a type of portable generator that uses inverter technology to produce clean, stable electricity. This technology allows the generator to adjust its engine speed in response to the electrical load, resulting in more efficient operation and less noise.
Another advantage of inverter generators is that they’re typically more energy-efficient than most other types of generators. This is because unlike standard generators, inverter generators electronically throttle their engines up and down depending on the current demand for power.
In most cases, inverter generators are noticeably lighter and more compact than other types of generators. As a result, most models of inverter generators are quite portable, making them a popular choice for activities like camping and RV travel. Inverter generators come in two main sub-types: closed-frame and open-frame.
While some traditional generators can produce upwards of 17,000 watts, inverter generators don’t usually reach figures higher than around 7,000. As a result, there are many situations in which an inverter generator simply won’t provide enough power to be effective, making them somewhat of a niche product. SUMMARY OF CONS:
Inverter generators use a three-step process to generate power. First, the engine spins an alternator to create AC electricity. This AC power is then converted to DC by the inverter’s rectifier. Finally, the inverter uses electronic circuits to convert the DC back into high-quality AC power with a pure sine wave output.
As mentioned, the primary difference between a generator and an inverter is an inverter's ability to clean up electrical power for sensitive electronics. The second major difference is an inverter generator's higher fuel efficiency. It can adjust the speed of its engine depending on how much power it is being asked to provide.
