Introduction to Low-Frequency Inverters by

Costa Power Industries Pvt. Ltd

For those who are unaware, the purpose of an off-grid inverter is simple, yet incredibly
important for anyone who is looking to set up an off-grid or back up power system, including solar powered
systems. Inverters convert the DC power stored within a battery (direct current, 12V, 24V or 48V) into AC
power (alternating current, 230-240V) that can be used to run your household items and electrical appliances,
from fridges to televisions to mobile phone chargers. Inverters are an essential item for anyone without access
to a mains power source, as they can easily provide a plentiful amount of electricity.

Inverters come in many different shapes and sizes, and vary in a diverse amount of ways. There are
two main contrasting characteristics between different types of off-grid inverter. Costa power is Inverter
Dealer in Mumbai as well as Inverter supplier in Mumbai and all parts of India. We specially believe and
distributors for Luminous Inverter dealer and Luminous inverter battery dealer along with Microtek inverter
Dealer and Microtek Inverter battery dealer in Mumbai and across India.

1. The type of power output, categorized by which sine wave it uses – modified or pure sine wave. Photonic
Universe only stocks pure sine wave inverters, which are more efficient and have a broader range of
suitable appliances they can power, compared to modified sine wave inverters.
2. What internal frequency the inverter circuits operate at - low frequency or high frequency (not to be
confused with AC power output frequency which is a standard 50Hz for our inverters).

We are pleased to add low-frequency inverters to our catalogue, and this article is going to help
anyone who is looking to buy an inverter find out whether a low-frequency inverter is right for them, so that
they can make an informed and confident purchase.

Low-frequency inverters have the advantage over high-frequency inverters in two fields: peak power
capacity, and reliability. Low-frequency inverters are designed to deal with higher power spikes for longer
periods of time than high-frequency inverters. Power spikes can occur for a number of reasons (e.g. devices
like power tools, pumps, vacuum cleaners and other appliances with electric motors require high starting
power); when inverters experience such spikes, they can endure the increased power for a short period of
time before shutting down in order to prevent any damage being done to them. Low-frequency inverters have
much greater peak power capacity to handle large loads with power spikes than high-frequency inverters. In
fact, low-frequency inverters can operate at the peak power level which is up to 300% of their nominal power
level for several seconds, while high-frequency inverters can operate at 200% power level for a small fraction
of a second. The second main difference is reliability: low-frequency inverters operate using powerful
transformers, which are more reliable and sturdy than the high-frequency inverter’s MOSFETs, which use
electronic switching and more prone to damage, particularly at high power levels.
 Costa Power always believe in quality and after sales service so In addition to these qualities, low-
frequency inverters come with a wide range of technical features and capabilities which most high-frequency
inverters lack; these include a built-in battery charger; UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) functions; by-pass
mode with no battery connected; power saving mode; various charge settings (like different battery types and
charging voltages). And we believe these protection are available in Luminous inverter in Mumbai and as such
in Microtek inverter in Mumbai.

In terms of other differences, low frequency inverters are designed for large off-grid power systems
and are more suitably equipped for powerful appliances; therefore, they are typically within the high power
category of invertor, with their power levels normally within the thousands, typically 2000W-3000W and
above (high frequency inverters are also available in lower power categories such as 300W, 600W, 1000W,
1500W etc.) In addition, in most cases low frequency inverters do not include mains power sockets – they
come with terminals where AC wires should be connected which then connect to mains sockets.

Low-frequency inverters are not ideal for everyone; they’re very large and are considerably heavier
than high-frequency inverters, and would be best suited for those who either are building an off-grid power
system with no significant power restrictions, or who run powerful appliances and devices with electric motors
like power tools, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and air conditioners. Low-frequency inverters are also
best suited for those who want to power various kitchen appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves,
dishwashers and ovens.
Enhanced peak performance capacity and improved reliability of low frequency inverters mean that they cost
more than high frequency inverters. If you do not consume a lot of energy and you only have small appliances
that you need to power, or you have limited space for an inverter, then a high frequency inverter would be
more suitable for you.

All above discussed topics are tested by our experts and technician and so preferring for the
requirement best inverter supplier in Mumbai for home and office use. We proud ourselves as top inverter
dealer and best inverter supplier in Mumbai region along with inverter battery in Mumbai.
