FAQS 4

What do kW and kVA mean in inverter specifications?

kW refers to the real or usable power output of an inverter. kVA represents the total power capacity it can carry, including power lost in phase difference (reactive power). For example, an inverter rated at 10 kVA with a power factor of 0.8 can only deliver 8 kW of real power.

What is rated output power of inverter?

The rated output power of inverter is the continuous output power, which refers to the output power of the inverter under the rated voltage current. It is the power that can be continuously and stably output for a long time.

How much power does an inverter need?

It’s important to note what this means: In order for an inverter to put out the rated amount of power, it will need to have a power input that exceeds the output. For example, an inverter with a rated output power of 5,000 W and a peak efficiency of 95% requires an input power of 5,263 W to operate at full power.

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).
