Inverter - as uninterruptible backup power at home

The relentless development of modern technology and the electrification of everything and everyone makes people somewhat dependent on the availability of electricity. Virtually every item of convenience and entertainment, tool and equipment requires connection to electricity or periodic charging. A person deprived of electricity cannot pursue leisure or any professional activity. In some cases, he is even deprived of hot water, if a boiler is installed in the house. Without electricity, the house becomes, roughly speaking, a storehouse of useless electrical appliances. Although modern technology in a sense makes people dependent on electricity, it can also solve the problem of power shortage. We are talking about sources of autonomous power supply. The most complicated sources of autonomous power are undoubtedly fuel generators. They are large and often very expensive. The simplest device, designed to temporarily ensure the availability of electrical equipment in the absence of central power supply, is an inverter.

Another pair of transistors is switched to create a negative half-wave and performs a similar process. The signal undergoes filtering to obtain a sinusoidal shape. This principle of inverter operation is the most popular, but it is not common to all models. In the rest of the article we will discuss in which situations such inverters are best and when it is worth buying one for your home.
We learned in general terms what processes take place inside the inverter, but we did not discuss the DC source that must be connected to the input of the device. Of course, a battery must be connected to the input. However, keep in mind that ordinary car starter batteries are not designed to pull loads. If you want your inverter for the house to provide autonomous power for as long as possible in the event of a central power failure, the best choice is a traction gel battery. The advantages of this type of battery are obvious: maintenance-free, no fumes, long cycle life, tolerance to heavy discharges, low-temperature operation and much more, as confirmed by numerous reviews.

We have long stocked Extralink mobile inverters, which are ideal for the car or outdoor camping. They typically have one 220V output socket for connecting electronics and one 12V input. The inverter comes with a cable to connect to the car battery or cigarette lighter socket.
Take the Extralink OPIP-500W inverter as an example.

It is a small, stylish device in an aluminum housing that also serves as cooling for the components inside, which can get hot during intensive use.
TheExtralink OPIP-500W has the following features:

The first advantage is the presence of automatic startup. The Extralink PIORUN inverter starts automatically when it detects mains voltage fluctuations outside the operating range. For example, the Extralink PIORUN 2000VA/1600W home inverter starts automatically when the mains voltage drops to 145V. When the mains voltage returns within the acceptable range, the inverter restores the load to mains power. This ensures continuity of power supply to the load while protecting it from excessive line fluctuations.
The second advantage is automatic charging of connected batteries. An ordinary inverter is simply a DC-AC inverter. To charge the batteries, you need to get an additional charger, which can also be purchased on our site. Extralink PIORUN automatic inverters have a built-in battery charger that maintains the correct three-stage technology so that traction gel batteries can be safely charged to maximum capacity and provide years of reliable service. The charger will start whenever the Extralink home inverter switches from standalone to conventional mode or when the voltage at the battery terminals drops during the self-discharge process.

The third advantage is that the output is always a pure sine wave. The output quality of Extralink battery-powered home inverters is always excellent, suitable for powering all loads (the maximum voltage deviation is only 0.5%).

In conclusion, Extralink PIORUN inverters are universal automatic devices suitable for protection against unstable power supply and autonomous operation of all loads. In addition to the above-mentioned advantages of these inverters, other advantages can be mentioned, such as modern design, bright and handy display showing mains voltage, DC circuit voltage and power consumption, convenient input and output terminals and much more.
By completing a suitable inverter unit with a battery or battery bank, you get a reliable source of autonomous energy for any occasion.
