What does a household inverter mean

An inverter is a device that converts direct current into alternating current. A household inverter is an inverter suitable for converting direct current to alternating current in household use. In our daily life, many electrical appliances use inverters, such as air conditioners, computers, refrigerators, range hoods, etc. They all need inverters to convert direct current into alternating current required for the operation of the appliances. 

The characteristics of household inverters are high conversion efficiency and high safety performance. Besides commonly used household appliances, Some small electrical appliances such as electric fans, mobile phones and digital cameras also use inverters.

With the rapid development of the household inverter market, photovoltaic energy storage systems have become increasingly popular. Photovoltaic energy storage systems supply the electricity generated by photovoltaic modules to household loads and store the excess electricity in batteries. When electricity is needed, the energy in the energy storage batteries can be utilized, thereby playing a role in peak shaving and valley filling, reducing electricity bills, lowering reliance on the power grid, and offering high cost performance. Household inverters are key components of photovoltaic energy storage systems. Compared with grid-connected inverters, they not only convert direct current to alternating current but also have the function of converting alternating current to direct current.

It is necessary to choose an inverter with appropriate power

When choosing a household inverter, users need to select an inverter with the appropriate power based on different household appliances. For instance, a household refrigerator should choose an inverter with a power of over 1000W, while a TV should select an inverter with a power of 500W. If the selected inverter has a power that is too small, it will not be able to drive the appliances to operate normally. This requires users to have a detailed understanding of the power of household appliances so that they can select a suitable inverter.

Pay attention to the positive and negative poles when wiring

When using an inverter, users need to connect the wires to the household inverter. Each inverter has positive and negative pole markings. Generally, red represents the positive pole and black represents the negative pole. When connecting the wires, users must pay close attention and connect the red wire to the red end and the black wire to the black end. If they are accidentally connected wrongly, it may cause a short circuit in the circuit. It may even burn out the inverter, so one must be extremely cautious when connecting wires.

Pay attention to the maintenance and care of the inverter

When users are using household inverters, they must pay attention to the maintenance and care of the inverters. For example, after each use of the inverter, it should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated area, away from flammable and explosive items. The inverter should be properly stored to avoid being exposed to wind and rain outdoors. Secondly, before each use of the inverter, a comprehensive inspection of the inverter should be carried out to avoid inconvenience caused by inverter malfunctions and eliminate potential safety hazards.
