Appliances that we use around our homes such as lights, bulbs, refrigerator, air conditioners etc..

All are the ones that consume power and hence are rated in watts. invert-er capacity is directly proportional to total load that you want to support. The invert-er capacity is measured in volt ampere, (VA). VA is actually apparent power and is the product of the voltage and the current supplied by the equipment. The invert-er capacity is measured in VA and battery capacity is measured in WA.

A we discussed earlier invert-er converts DC how to AC current. But depending on how the AC current looks like, the inverter’s are classified as sine wave or square wave invert-er. It is always good to have sine wave invert-er even though they are costly for the sake of safety and longevity of the appliances. The famous invert-er brands are Luminous, Microtek, Exide, Apc, Sukam. Most of the brands also sells the battery along with the invert-er.
