How Inverter Generators Work

Wondering what is an inverter generator? Unlike a conventional generator that supplies power more directly from the alternator, an inverter model converts the electricity electronically to produce a stable AC output. The engine can also adjust its speed to suit the load, helping improve efficiency.

Why They Run Quieter Than Regular Generators

Because the engine can slow down when power demand is lower, inverter generators generally produce less noise than conventional generators running at a fixed engine speed. Enclosed designs can help reduce noise further.

Pure Sine Wave Power for Sensitive Electronics

Inverter generators produce clean, stable pure sine wave power. This makes them a practical choice for sensitive electronics such as laptops, TVs and other modern appliances.

Choosing the Right Size Inverter Generator

The best inverter generator is one that comfortably handles your required running and starting wattage. Add up the appliances or tools you want to run at the same time, then allow enough capacity for equipment with higher start-up demands.

Small Inverter Generators for Camping and Caravans

Compact models are well suited to camping, caravanning and other portable applications. Look for manageable weight, low noise levels and enough output for the appliances you intend to take away.

3kVA and Mid-Range Inverter Generators for Home Backup

A 3kVA inverter generator can be a versatile middle ground for selected appliances during a blackout. When choosing an inverter generator for home use, check the starting requirements of essentials such as fridges, freezers and pumps rather than relying on their running wattage alone.

Bigger Inverter Generators for Tradies and Job Sites

Need more muscle? Larger inverter generators provide additional capacity for power tools and job-site equipment while retaining the benefits of inverter technology. Check both rated and maximum output against the equipment you need to operate.
