If there is no electricity, then there can be no talk of any comfort. All Appliances needs to constant nutrition electricity. To somehow solve this issue, autonomous energy sources are used - generators. They are backup sources of electricity. There are many different versions of similar devices, which are sometimes difficult to understand without confusion. You need to know the difference between a conventional generator and an inverter generator (inverter generators), which one is right for you in this case better to choose.

In the field the best option obtaining electricity is the use of an autonomous device. Its design is quite simple. Standalone device consists of an engine and a generator connected to it. The engine can be used of any type and power.

It rotates the rotor of the current generator, creating voltage at the output. The properties and power parameters are determined by the characteristics of the generator and motor. The quality of electricity is affected by the functioning of the engine. As the engine speed increases, the voltage at the generator output increases. There is also a dependence of the opposite type. As the consumer load increases, the starting current increases, this affects the properties of energy and the operation of the engine.

This method is used to operate a conventional generator. The quality of the energy created is quite suitable for powering many devices. Simple incandescent light bulbs will provide light, even when the voltage is floating, electronic devices will also operate from such a generator if their work uses pulse power. But the properties of a 220-volt power supply network with a frequency of 50 hertz must meet certain requirements. Sufficiently designed for such requirements a large number of devices. Changed network properties lead to malfunctions or failure of power quality-sensitive devices.

Creating an electric power reserve remains popular today. For this purpose, manufacturers produce electricity generators of different types and performance. Among the various designs of such devices, a large place is given to elite models that operate on the principle of creating high-quality energy.

To improve quality electric current Inverter converters of electricity properties are being introduced into devices. They are called inverter generators. Most popular models for the population they have a power of 0.8-3 kilowatts. The drive engine can run on gas, gasoline or diesel fuel.

Design features of the inverter generator

Inverter generators consist of:

• Engine.
• Generator.
• Inverter.
• Terminals for current output.
• Control regulators.

To enable household devices The usual output is used along the three contacts of a 220 V socket.

In addition to alternating current, the device produces direct current, used for various purposes, charging car batteries. Inverter generators are equipped with terminals to enable DC charging.

When connecting a load exceeding the permissible value, the protection is triggered and turns off the power circuit. The protection also monitors the technical condition of the engine, for example, when the oil level has reached the lower limit. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor its level and top up on time. Typically, inverter generators are paired with a 4-stroke overhead valve engine.

Operating principle

The engine drives a simple generator that produces sine wave electricity. The energy flow is supplied to the rectifier from power diodes with powerful radiators for cooling. As a result, an alternating voltage is generated at the output of the rectifier.

After the rectifier, the voltage passes through a filter on capacitors, which smooths out the ripples to DC voltage. Capacitors by their design are selected for stable operation, for a voltage of more than 400 V. The voltage for the containers is selected with a margin to exclude the effect of 220 volt pulses. The size of the capacitor capacity is determined by the power of the consumers. Typically it is 470 µF for 1 capacitor.

The inverter now receives a stable rectified current, from which a high-quality industrial frequency voltage is obtained. Special technical processes have been created for the operation of the inverter. The optimal signal shape was a bridge circuit with a transformer.

The main element that forms a high-quality sine wave is the switch on IGBT transistors. To create a sinusoidal current, the method of generating periodicity of pulse-width modulations is used. Each half-cycle of sine oscillations is formed by operating a pair of transistors in the form of pulses high frequency a certain amplitude, which varies according to a sinusoidal law. The final alignment of the sine graph and smoothing of the pulses is carried out by a high-pass filter.

The inverter unit converts the electricity created by the generator into a stable constant value with quality properties. The inverter unit is controlled by the control system by feedback, taking into account the load size and engine operation. A current comes from the generator coils, which is far from matching its nominal value in its properties. This feature distinguishes inverter generators from other designs.

Application

The use of inverter generators makes it possible to outperform conventional generators in the following factors:

• They have high degree savings due to automatic adjustment of the number of motor revolutions during operation and ensuring optimal mode according to the size of the load. The higher the engine load, the higher its rotation speed. In this case, fuel consumption is controlled by the control system. For conventional generators, consumption does not depend on the consumer load.
• Generators create an ideal sine wave shape under load. High quality voltage is important for the functioning of sensitive devices.

• dimensions quality models generators have a compact body, low weight compared to conventional generators at the same power.
• Devices with inverters are very reliable in operation; manufacturers provide a double guarantee, unlike simple samples.

Modes of application of generators with converters:

• Long operation at rated load, not higher than the rated output power.
• Short-term overload, no more than 30 minutes.
• Starting the engine and achieving the generator's operating cycle while overcoming significant load forces.

The converter can resist a significant load size, but the time period in this mode is a few fractions of a second.

Engine starting

For such an operation you need to perform several steps. Let's look at the procedure for starting the engine using the ER 2000 model as an example:

• Check the presence and level of oil in the crankcase. If it is absent, the protection will work and malfunctions may occur.

• Fill with fuel, without which the engine cannot operate, by first unscrewing the tank cap.
• Open the valve on the tank lid.

• Set the throttle to “start”.

• Set the fuel valve handle to the “open” position.

• Start the engine manually using the cord.

When the motor is started for the first time, the overload light will light up briefly, followed by the voltage indicator in the nominal mode for a long time. This indicates normal conditions.

After starting the engine, the generator idles at optimal parameters. Next, we turn on the consumer load to the generator by connecting any household appliance. The power of the connected device does not change the frequency and output voltage. The screen shows the consumer power value.

We try to connect any device to the output of the inverter generator digital form, let's make sure what's happening normal functioning. On conventional generators digital devices have malfunctions due to poor quality power output.

Inverter generators belong to a group of devices that use microprocessors and complex electronic parts. To guarantee long-term reliable operation of the generator, it is necessary to comply with operating conditions, carefully transport and ensure all conditions of temperature and humidity, as well as storage, according to the instructions.

If the device is stored in an unheated room during the winter, condensation may form on the internal parts, which will cause malfunctions of the electronic parts of the generator.

Choice

Inverter generators cost much more than a regular generator. Also, its operation is limited by power, which is no more than 7 kW.

The choice of generator should be approached carefully. It is necessary to determine what requirements are needed for voltage quality. For ordinary lighting lamps and power tools, it is enough to have a simple gasoline generator.

To connect a refrigerator, circulation pump for heating, control controllers for a gas-fired boiler, you will need a high-quality inverter generator.

In most cases, simple generators are used, especially since they are cheap to operate and purchase. Used for critical devices inverter models. They are more expensive, but produce high-quality electricity.

An inverter generator is a device that produces alternating current with the correct sine wave when there is no connection to external power grids.

The most widely used currently are gas, gasoline and diesel inverter generators.

Application

1. Used as a standalone backup source power supply for electrical appliances.
2. Use in power generation systems.
3. For carrying out welding work.
4. Charging batteries, accumulators.
5. For hunting, fishing, country recreation, camping, etc.

Flaws

1. Usually noisy. But there are also models with low noise.
2. Quite high prices.
3. Overall high fuel consumption. True, it is possible to turn on the economy mode on many models.
4. The need for fuel storage.

Description and principle of operation

The word inverter means that the generator has a special electronic unit that serves to convert the current coming from the generator coils into current standard frequency 50 Hz. In this case, the current coming from the generator windings can be of any frequency. This is the fundamental technical difference between inverter generators and traditional ones.

Their main advantage is efficiency, since they automatically adjust engine speed depending on what load is connected to them.

Video: how the Honda EU20I petrol inverter generator works

The operating principle of the inverter generator is shown in the following diagram:

The diagram shows that the rotor, rotating around the stator, generates three-phase alternating current. Given current enters the inverter block to the rectifier. Here it is converted to direct current (DC) and fed to a filter for subsequent stabilization. Next, the converting circuit turns this stabilized direct current into sinusoidal alternating current. The microcomputer constantly supplies a control sine wave to the converting target, thereby monitoring the output voltage and frequency of the signal.

What is the difference between an inverter generator and a conventional power plant?

Inverter generator (inverter power plant) is a mini generating set that produces maximum high quality electricity, optimally converting it into voltage without drops. Such power plants are also called “digital power generators” due to the equipment electronic circuits management.

An inverter generator is used to connect electronics or sensitive equipment in the absence of a central power supply. An inverter power station can be safely recommended as a backup generator for a summer residence, as well as for travel and minor repair work.

Who uses an inverter generator?

Fishermen, hunters, tourists, travelers, summer residents - because they are compact and quiet.

In the garage or on the road it is useful for powering lamps and powerful flashlights, electric stoves, and radios. You will be able to charge your smartphones and laptops without starting the car. An inverter generator powers household appliances and power tools; it is used on country trips - a generator for outdoor activities.

Why is it beneficial to use inverter generators?

The main advantages of inverter electric generators are their compactness, due to their small size and weight; mobility (portable stations), as well as high-quality current supply, thanks to the inverter technology of the power plant, which is necessary for connecting electronic devices that require an ideal power supply without interruptions.

It is these qualities that are most in demand in camping conditions, fishing, hunting, in the country, in workshops, for various rescue services, etc. An inverter generator is especially indispensable for connecting electronic gadgets, medical equipment and other life support equipment in field, camping and various extreme conditions, where there is no possibility of power supply from the central power grid. In everyday life, such stations also find indispensable applications. An inverter generator for a summer residence will help provide backup electricity during power outages. When traveling, such a power station can be a good helper (charge your computer, phone, connect lighting, electric stove and other devices without using a stabilizer). Due to its compact size and weight (the station is almost 2 times lighter than a traditional portable generator), the inverter generator fits comfortably in the trunk of a car.

An important aspect of the inverter station is the quiet operation of the generator, due to reinforced noise suppressors, as well as noise-absorbing casings, the designs of which are specially designed for super quiet operation of the generator set.

The main criteria when choosing an inverter generator are: power and manufacturer.

The modern power equipment market offers a huge range of generating equipment of various price ranges. Our advice is that you should not strive to buy the cheapest generator. Many manufacturers, in order to reduce the cost of their products, use the lowest quality components, which in turn are also made from the lowest grade materials, which have a very short resource and short service life. Such stations can fail you at the most inopportune moment!

To determine the required power of the inverter generator, you need to think about which devices will be connected at the same time.

For example, on a trip you need to connect a computer (500 W) + 2 light bulbs (60 W x2) + 50% power reserve = 832 W. Don't forget to take an extension cord and tee with you. Important! When connecting equipment via an extension cord, you need to take into account another 10% power reserve for the extension cord up to 3 m.

Total: 915 W. You will need

Inverter generators are autonomous power sources that produce high-quality electricity. Basically, such devices are used as temporary or permanent (for short periods of continuous operation) power sources for particularly sensitive instruments.

The main facilities where these electrical units are operated are schools, hospitals and other institutions where even the slightest voltage surges are unacceptable.

Operating principle of inverters

You should not purchase an inverter generator whose operating principle is unclear to the user. The same applies to other devices.

The inverter generating set is based on a corresponding block. This unit consists of a microprocessor, rectifier and converters.

1. High frequency alternating current is generated;
2. The rectifier converts the resulting current into direct current;
3. Current accumulation occurs in capacitive filters (batteries)
4. Oscillations of electric waves are stabilized;
5. Using an inverter, direct energy from capacitive filters is converted into alternating current of the required frequency and voltage. This alternating current is supplied to the end user. In the process, we see an ideal sine wave, confirming the highest quality of the generated electricity.

Such an inverter generator device allows you to obtain a very stable output voltage and connect any sensitive devices. The device operates automatically.

Thanks to constant control above the level of fuel, oil and engine speed, the cost of refueling the mini-power station is halved.
Embedded system air cooling protects electric generators from overheating.

When the load drops below the minimum, the unit automatically switches to economy mode. Thus, the wear of the electric generator is reduced and the service life is increased.

The main differences between inverters and other types of generators.

A classic electric generator is a device that uses hydrocarbon-based fuel as the main energy source. The resulting energy is converted into electricity and sent to the end consumer.

The quality of electrical energy generated by a conventional electric generator depends on the stable operation of the engine. The speed of its rotation must be constant. Therefore, with a change in operating mode, the efficiency of the electric generator may noticeably decrease. For example, when a 7 kW unit is used exclusively for watching TV or to power a 60-watt lamp.

A conventional generator always operates at one engine speed. An inverter generator can change the engine speed depending on current needs.

An inverter generator does not transmit electricity directly to the consumer. He collects it and stores it in a special built-in container (battery). First, high-frequency alternating current is produced, then it is converted to direct current and fills the batteries.

Thus, in electrical units of this type the outgoing current is created from double conversion. The conversion process optimizes its performance. This is the main difference between an inverter generator and a conventional one.

Advantages and disadvantages of inverters from other types of generators

The main difference between an inverter generator and a conventional one is the quality of the output voltage and the ability to vary the loads. There is no need for constant engine speeds, therefore, at low loads, lower fuel consumption is possible. This is especially noticeable when the unit is lightly loaded.

Compared to analogues, the inverter design is very compact. This occurs due to the possibility of operating an engine with smaller parameters and dimensions. Another significant advantage of such units is minimum level noise.

Among the advantages, it is worth noting the compact dimensions of the inverters, as well as their low weight. This is achieved by transferring the rotor to the motor shaft. Such mini-power plants are ideal for short-term trips into nature, as well as for carrying out urgent work on construction sites.

Some inverters have additional functions. For example, some models have two sockets, so you can independently power two devices.

The main disadvantage of an inverter electric generator is its high price. It far exceeds the cost of standard electric generators, be they petrol or diesel.

Another drawback is the built-in battery. It has a very limited capacity and is not self-replaceable.

This disadvantage is that short-term connection of high-power electrical appliances (such as microwaves) or long-term operation of low-power devices such as electric lamps or TV, is only possible if the generator has a battery of suitable capacity. If the power of the appliances exceeds the battery capacity, the inverter will constantly shut down to charge the battery.

The main advantage of standard electric generators in comparison with inverters is a wide range of operating powers.

The maximum power of the inverter unit is limited by the volume of the battery and does not exceed 6 kW. The maximum power of a conventional generator is limited only by the engine power. For example, the power of some models of diesel mini-power plants exceeds 100 kW.

In addition, conventional mini-power plants are distinguished by the highest durability and reliability when used at their full declared power. The only condition in this case is careful and timely Maintenance. In the case of inverters, it is better that the total power of the devices is slightly less than the maximum power of the generator.

conclusions

Increasing the quality of electricity leads to a decrease in quantity. There are no inverter electric generators whose power exceeds 6 kW. If the total power of electrical appliances connected to the network is greater than or equal to this figure, uninterrupted power supply is not guaranteed.

However, if it is necessary to provide completely uninterrupted power supply to low-power devices with a low noise level and mobility of the generator, an inverter unit would be the best option. Thanks to compact size and light weight, the electric unit can work even in the most inaccessible places where it is not so easy to install a conventional system.

Highly sensitive devices, such as computers or household appliances, can be connected to inverter units. It is able to regulate the resource consumed depending on the current load, which leads to significant fuel savings. An inverter is an ideal solution for a private home and cottage.

There are times when electricity is absolutely necessary, but, as luck would have it, it was turned off or there is no way to connect to the power grid. For this case, special power supply generators have been developed. There can be many types of designs for these devices: a regular gasoline, gas or inverter generator. The latter is considered the most modern and is often used to supply light in private homes. You will learn how to choose it and what its advantages are from the selection of best-selling models.

What is an inverter generator

A portable power station with a built-in microprocessor that can generate stable voltage and supply it to electrical network- this is the generator of the inverter operating principle. Based on the type of fuel used, such devices are divided into several options:

• Gasoline models are used on construction sites and in everyday life. They can operate from 4 to 8 hours continuously, after which the engine must be cooled.
• Diesel devices - used as an emergency power source designed for intensive use. Special device motor with built-in liquid system cooling ensures continuous operation.
• Gas appliances are the economical and most environmentally friendly option. The device can operate on liquefied gas cylinders or from the mains. When connected to a central gas pipeline, an inverter gas generator provides a continuous supply of energy.

Principle of operation

The main difference between an inverter generator and a conventional one is that the first model is capable of producing ideal clean voltage. The thing is that a conventional generator set produces a rough electrical signal, which not all household appliances are able to adapt to. The inverter device is designed in such a way that both the voltage regulator and its converter are involved in its operation simultaneously.

After starting the engine, alternating current is supplied to the converter, thanks to which it becomes constant. This value is then processed by a regulator, which levels all indicators to normal. The resulting energy is returned to the converter, where it becomes alternating current. The current at the output point is controlled by a feedback circuit circuit, which also monitors the engine speed, while the conventional one has a simple connection to the motor.

Inverter units also differ from conventional devices in that, thanks to a microcontroller, they are able to adapt to the load that has arisen. For example, if you need to service only one household appliance with a power of up to 1 kW, and the device itself is designed to supply 2 kW of electricity, then the installation will automatically reduce the operating power by half, thereby reducing fuel consumption.
