Frequently Asked Questions About Home Inverters

Why do ceiling fans hum on older inverters?

Older square-wave or quasi-sine wave inverters produce stepped electrical waveforms with high harmonic distortion. This causes inductive fan motor windings to vibrate violently and hum. A modern Pure Sine Wave inverter completely eliminates fan humming.

What is the advantage of a Tall Tubular battery over Flat Plate?

Tall Tubular batteries use high-pressure die-cast spines that resist corrosion from deep discharges. They offer over 1,200 discharge cycles (lasting 5 to 7 years) compared to flat plate batteries, which typically deteriorate within 2 to 3 years.

How does switching to BLDC fans help my inverter?

A traditional induction ceiling fan consumes 75 Watts. A BLDC fan consumes only 28 Watts at speed 5. If your home runs 3 ceiling fans, you reduce continuous load from 225W to just 84W, literally doubling your battery backup duration!
