Advantages of inverters

Bluegate Inverter BG2400Power inverters convert DC voltage from a battery to AC voltage used by appliances in our homes. Power inverters are alternatives to electric power generators when it comes to supplying backup or standby power during power failure. Standby power is now critical in Nigeria because of epileptic power supply in the country. Find power inverter dealers and some reason why power inverters may be preferred over petrol-driven electric generators for backup power supply.
Power Inverters are not as popular as electric generators in backup power applications. This is largely due to higher costs. In fact, inverters are expensive alternatives to generators. However, power inverters have some benefits that can make them worth every kobo you spend on them. It is also important to note that prices of power inverters are now getting lower in Nigeria.

Top brands of power inverters in Nigeria include Su-Kam InvertersBluegate Inverters, Cyberpower Inverters, and Innova Inverters.

Benefits of power inverters

Inverters offer noise free operations

Power Inverters have silent operations. Unlike generators that make a lot of noise disturbing you and your neighbours, power inverters make very little noise that you can barely hear any sound. All you hear from inverters is the fan and the clicking of relays. Therefore, if you want silent operation in your home or business you should consider a power inverter.

No need for petrol or diesel

One great benefit of power inverters is that they do not require petrol or diesel. This singular capability comes with many benefits. First, it eliminates the risks associated with refuelling generators or improper storage of fuel. Many homes, businesses, and markets in Nigeria have been razed by fire from improper storage of fuels.

Another benefit of the fuel-free operations of power inverters is convenience, no need to visit filling stations everyday in search of petrol. Power inverters receive power from batteries. All you need to do is to charge your inverter battery.

Therefore, if you want convenient and reduced risk operations buy power inverters for your standby power.

Power Inverters offer Zero emissions

Because power inverters do not need petrol and do not have an internal combustion engine, they do not emit dangerous gases during operations. This means that you can keep a power inverter inside a room within the building just like your UPS, without any risk of suffocation.

Deaths from generator operation are now a common occurrence in Nigeria. Improper mounting of generators usually causes these deaths. If you live in an area, where it is inconvenient to properly mount a generator, then you should consider power inverters. If paying a bit more for a power inverter can reduce the risk of suffocation from dangerous gases then they are worth the extra cost.

Zero emission may also appeal to you if you are concerned about global warming, and you need to be. Power Inverters are greener than generators. Therefore, if you prefer a greener world then you will prefer power inverters.

Inverters offer Lower running cost

Because power inverters do not require fuel, they run with almost no input aside from charging your inverter batteries. Although, power inverters have huge purchase/capital cost, the recurrent cost is low. In fact, in the long term an inverter may be cheaper than a generator, especially in countries like Nigeria where people rely on generators to supply most of their power.

Imagine spending 1000 NGN every week for 3 years. That adds up to 156,000 Naira in three years.

Un-interruptible supply

Power Inverters can be connected in such a way that once a power failure occurs, the system switches automatically to battery mode. This provides convenience. No need to do anything, power inverters will switch from battery mode to mains mode as the need arises. UPS are also built-into some power inverters to provide faster response time. With such inverters, you can connect sensitive devices like computers directly to your wall sockets. No need for a separate UPS for your computer if you are using a power inverter with built-in UPS.
