INVERTER PRICES IN NIGERIA
Do you ever want to purchase an inverter and you do not know the price, well we have come to your aid, as this article is here to help you out with the price not only that but all you need to know about inverters.
Inverters are alternative to our generators at home. Inverters are good when it comes to supplying backup or standby power during power failure. We all know the rate of power failure we have in Nigeria, everyone is doing everything possible to make sure that they have enough power supply to their homes, schools, offices and even small businesses.
As you may know, electricity is very essential to us nowadays, especially in this tech age. The slightest power failure puts lot of people in disarray, that is why most times an inverter is needed, instead of spending endless money on petrol or diesel, we have now gotten an easier but although quite expensive way out. The prices of inverters may be high, but there ae lots of benefits that can count for it.
Inverters come in a range of size, it depends on the size which you want, which largely depends on the watts. Before purchasing an inverter, you should be able to note the appliances which you have in your homes. Using this should be able to determine the watts which you want to buy,
We basically have three types of inverters which are the; Sine wave, modified sine wave and the square sine wave.
1. SINE WAVE INVERTER: The alternating current has continuously varying voltage which swings from positive to negative, this has an advantage in power transmission over long distances.
The sine wave is the alternating current wave form we get from the domestic lines and from the generator. Sine wave inverter has got lots of advantage most of the household appliances are designed to operate in sinewave, sine wave ia a form of soft temporal rise voltage and it lacks harmonic oscillations which can cause unwanted counter forces or engines, surge current on condensers and interference on radio equipment.
2. MODIFIED SINE WAVE INVERTER: This wave form helps in stimulating a sine wave, the wave form of the modified sine wave consists of a flat positive voltage drooping to zero for a short period, then also drooping again to a flat negative voltage. Inverters which provide a modified sine wave can power up most household appliances. The modified sine wave is more economical than the sine wave inverters, buy certain problems might affect it in the case of some appliances like music systems, microwave ovens, laser printers, digital clocks. 99% of appliances we have today run happily in modified sine wave but not just like that because a certain instrument is used in which is called the Silicon Controller Rectifier (SCR). SCR helps in considering the sharp corners of the sine wave as trashes and shut off the instrument. Some laser printers behave like this and this makes them fail to work in inverters.
3. SQUARE WAVE INVERTERS: This wave is the cheapest form of inverters. These inverters can run simple appliances without much problems.
Now moving along, we have given you the three types of inverters, let’s share a little information on peak power and typical or average power.
Peak power is the maximum amount of power that an inverter can supply for a short period of time. Heavy appliances like our refrigerators requires large amount of current to start up.
Typical power or average power is the amount of power an inverter supplies at a steady basis. This power that is given out by the typical power is much lower than that of the peak power. Typical power also has its advantages as it is useful in estimating the battery capacity. It is necessary that inverters must be sized for the maximum peak load and typical continuous power.
Inverters are available in different sizes.
These sizes also depends on their ratings. Inverters that are mostly used in homes are from 50kva up to 50,000Ah while those that are larger than 1100kva are seldom used in household appliances. There are also some things we should note about inverters, surge capacity varies considerably between inverters and even in the same brands. I believe with all of these you should have known much about the inverters, now lets move on to the price list. We should note that each brand has its own different price, so you can easily pick the brand you want and make your purchase.

Buying an inverter should no longer be difficult for you anymore, as everything has been broken down into bits here for you. Inverters are really helpful today in running our day to day activities like in the office, homes and all that, kids or even students find it difficult to read at night when there is no stable light, these are some of the main reasons why they are needed, they are very helpful to us, though the price here might scare you, but consider it, purchasing once and keep buying fuel or diesel for the rest of your life, we all know this is better and cheaper and more safer.
I believe inverters are also helping in promoting a green environment.
