Different market applications developed for our 12V Inverters include: In the US, they are very popular in recreational vehicles and small-scale portable power applications. The Turkish customers find them quite useful in various mobile and automotive applications. In the UK, they are very common in caravans and outdoor activities. They will be used in automotive applications and also in small backup systems at home in South Africa to appreciate their reliability and versatility.
What is a 12V Inverter?
The inverter 12v to 220v is the electric device that converts 12V input direct current into 220V output alternating current in a photovoltaic installation. The inverter 12V to 220V serves perfectly for an isolated installation or camper type installation.
You will find varieties of 12v to 220v inverters with the best prices at Huijue. Variety of Photovoltaic products.
Advantages of a 12v to 220v inverter
There is a long list of advantages of using this type of equipment in order to convert the energy of our photovoltaic installation, among which we can mention the following:
- Economical savings due to the fact that you will be able to use the energy supplied by the photovoltaic installation, saving on electricity bills.
- The independence, freedom: during the day, when the sun is shining, you are no longer dependent on the mains for electricity, or you can just recharge your batteries.
- Its use is a way of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering carbon dioxide emissions.
- The systems of control and protection at this type of equipment just don\'t allow overloads, short circuits, overheating, or inverter of polarity.
How to buy a 12V to 220V inverter?
Before buying a 12v to 220v inverter, we have to take into account some of the following premises:
- Power: is the capacity of energy supply that the team has. It must cover the maximum consumption that we are going to use, besides the peak of start.
- Wave form type: There are two kinds of forms depending on the 12v to 220v transformer, which we will explain later.
- Efficiency: It is the percentage of proper energy from DC to AC. The higher the performance is, the less energy will be lost, and that means it is more efficient. So we recommend choosing a high-performance transformer 12v to 220v to optimize the use of your solar installation.
- Size: This is something that shall be considered at the time of installation in a camper or caravan. In such cases, it will be better to make use of a compact 12v to 220V transformer, fitting the vehicle.
Then you must consider and understand the power generated by the solar panels and compare it with the capacity that the inverter must have.
- If you install a Kwp in the panel, you will need a 3000W 12V to 220V inverter.
- Before buying a 12V to 220V inverter, it is important to check if the amperage and voltage of the solar panel is compatible with the 12V to 220V inverter.
- It is important to check how the 12V to 220V inverter is connected to the solar panel. This affects the voltage and power of the appliances. They can be connected in parallel or in series.
Maintenance: The useful life of the equipment can be extended.
Maintenance Types: To extend the life of the equipment, different forms of maintenance and cleaning should be done which are very important for the smooth running of this equipment over a long period of time.
Types of maintenance:
- Periodic maintenance: It is a continuous review system whereby tests are conducted routinely to ensure that the equipment is at its best condition.
- Preventive maintenance: The goal is to avoid system failures, sudden failures, and find the potential problems in installation and operation in order to solve them.
- Corrective maintenance: When the equipment failed, needs to check and inspect the cause of the failure in the equipment and decide whether to repair the equipment or replace the equipment. A monitoring system is highly recommended to be installed that may detect errors and provide solutions.
Maintenance cycle:
- Monthly: The stored data has to be read after every 30 days. Any failure or error is noticed and looked upon.
- Every Six Months: After every six months, the filters should be cleaned deeply, and if necessary, they must be replaced. In the meantime, the protective grilles at the inlet and outlet are checked.
- Annually: Perform thorough maintenance at least annually, including housing tightness, dust cleaning inside the equipment, moisture, water leakage, and fuse, disconnect switch, current switch check, amongst others, and replace when necessary.
