what is the difference between inverter and Generator
Answers
Answer:
The Difference between Generator and Inverter in the tabulated form is given below.
BASISGENERATORINVERTERVoltageGenerator directly produces 120 volts, at 60 hertz supply frequencyThe Inverter converts 12 Volt power into 120 volts AC power.Time period of startingIt takes considerable time to start when there is a power outage.It restores power supply immediately and take no time to start as soon as power is cut off.Noise and pollutionGenerator makes noise and also produce smoke.Inverter is soundless and pollution free.Source of powerIt requires power sources like kerosene, diesel,natural gases or petroleum to run.Inveter works on battery and thus charges its battery with electricity itself.StartingGenerator requires effort to start.
Inverter starts on their own.CapacitiesThey are available in high capacities.Available in lower capacities.InstallationThe generator is started from the setup already installed or established.Requires installation and wiring system.Duration of a power outageThe generator is at advantages where there is a long power outage.Convenient to the places where there is a short power outage.Backup powerNo backup is required.Inverter needs a backup of generators for the places where power cut is of long duration.Fuel storageRequires storage of fuels.There is no requirement of storage of fuel.MaintenanceThe engine of the generator requires maintenance at regular interval of time.It requires almost no maintenance.SpaceRequires much space and is kept outside the home or office.Requires less space and is kept inside the home or office.
Size and WeightThe Generators are large in size and shape and they are also heavy in weight.Inverters are compact in size and they are light in weight and portable.
