How to choose a best inverter for home use?




Okaya is also discovering innovations for a better tomorrow for everybody. Our UPS is a product that has been ingeniously built by adhering to safety norms, form factor, durability and performance. 

How does an UPS work?

A power UPS or UPS is created in such a manner that it changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).The input & output voltage along with frequency and power capacity depend on the internal mechanism of the circuit. As a standalone unit, UPS does not generate power but only stores and distributes DC. 

Choosing the most befitting UPS for you, depends on the consumption of power at your home. Once you know this, picking an UPS is a piece of cake. 

 Battery: The heart of the UPS

The battery is the most essential component of the UPS. It directly impacts the performance of the battery and the life of UPS. Therefore maintenance and care of the battery should be a top concern. Batteries don’t add aesthetic or social appeal like furniture or decorations, but it runs the show from behind the curtains. 

How to choose an inverter? 

1)      Power requirement: As you read above, daily power consumption of your home determines the type of power you need. Number of electrical appliances in your home and each of its operational cost in terms of voltage must be ascertained. Example 1 tube light cost 60 watts to operate, or a TV takes 120 watts. 

Another thing to note is the VA rating of the UPS. Calculating the power factor is necessary and easily doable. Power factor is simply ratio of amount of power needed by an appliance to the amount of energy churned out by the inverter.  

2)      The type of inverter: Every inverter fundamentally converts DC to AC, however the type of AC that an inverter generates determines its character.
3)      Durability of the battery: As you read in the start, battery is the heart of the UPS. It is the quality of the battery that determines its longevity. Also, the capacity will determine the backup hours that you get during outage.

So next time you shop for a UPS Battery, make sure to consider these tips.
