If you have used any power generators in the past you would know the negative traits that they are notorious for. They can be noisy and can produce noxious fumes which could cause injury or death if left unchecked. Most generators made in the past are also heavy and come in big sizes so they can be a pain to move around. Worst, they are usually inefficient and are not durable enough to withstand long use without breaking down.
The good news is that technology has made it possible to produce generators with properties that are opposite to the old generators' old traits mentioned in the previous paragraph. And one such technology that enable us to produce better generators is the inverter technology.
Inverter generators are generators that makes use of a 3-phase process to produce its electrical output. In the first phase, it produces alternating current (AC) power and convert it to direct current (DC) for the second phase. It then converts it back to alternating current for the third and final phase. This transforming process is said to produce good quality electrical current that is clean and stable which makes for environmentally-sound machines.
This 3-phase process also gives the machine the power to be more fuel efficient as it enables the engine to vary its speed depending on the load of the generator. This means it will consume less fuel which means less fuel costs and less green house gas emissions.
Also, it gives the generators the capability to reduce its size and heft significantly without bringing effecting corresponding reduction of power. Most inverter power generators today makes use of new and smaller engines that helps reduce weight and fuel consumption.
Aside from lower fuel consumption, a smaller generator means more portability and lower noise--- which is a great thing for people who love going out and bringing some of electrical home equipment or gadgets with them. You can bring a unit with you to help power up the electric grill during picnics or help power up that camper refrigerator to store food in. And the reduced noise means they would not be like those noisy generator machines that will certainly annoy you and your companions after some time of continuous use.
Inverter generators are great if you want to experience some quiet picnic or camping time with some friends or family or even while enjoying some alone time. Bring them with you on your trips and experience an improvement in your outdoor activities!
