Technical FAQs 4

What happens if an inverter overloads?

If the total load exceeds this value, the inverter will be damaged due to constant overloading. What is Peak Power? Peak Power, also known as Surge Power, represents the maximum power value that the inverter can deliver in a short period (usually 0.5~5 seconds).

Why is my inverter not starting?

If the inverter's maximum power is insufficient to meet this start-up demand, the unit may not start, even if the rated power is adequate. When selecting an inverter and determining the amount of power required, it is important to distinguish between the rated power and the peak power of the inverter.

What are the characteristics of inverters?

Another important characteristic of these resources is asynchronicity, the result of using inverters to interface the prime energy source with the power system as opposed to synchronous generators.

Can an inverter run over rated power?

A: No. The inverter's rated power is the maximum power it can sustain and safely output. If an appliance is run over this power, it will cause the inverter to overload, automatically cut off, or even be damaged.
