Generators are an efficient way to provide power to homes, businesses, and heavy machinery. An inverter generator is a useful investment that can power less-demanding items inside your home or trailer, such as appliances and tools, that require an external power source. Here’s a brief guide if you’re unsure what an inverter generator is or how it works.

The Basics of an Inverter Generator

What Is It?

This generator converts a steady direct current that’s traveling in one direction to a standard alternating current, flowing in two directions. Inverter generators can be powered by various energy sources, such as diesel, propane, gasoline, or natural gas.

What Are the Benefits?

This style of generator is particularly useful during a power outage since its power mimics electricity and remains continuous. They’re also perfect for locations that aren’t connected to a main grid, like trailers and campers that contain appliances and machinery. Having one handy for outdoor events or occasions ensures enough power is generating for every device.

Inverter generators are lightweight, portable, and efficient. Their compact design makes them ideal for traveling or for storing in case of emergency. Most models come with a power and speed adjustment to accommodate the specific electrical need of various appliances and tools. Finally, these generators produce clean power and are safe for even computers and for charging smart devices.
