Myth 1 – They consume more power because the compressor runs continuously The inverter AC was invented to solve the issue of reducing consumption of electrical energy. That the compressor is continuously in operation is a statement of fact, but the power consumption is substantially lower than that of a… Continue reading
An inverter AC will ordinarily cool the room to the desired temperature faster than a fixed speed AC, but that may not make a significant difference in power consumption. Once the room has been cooled to the pre-set level, the compressor will operate continuously, but the variable speed drive will… Continue reading
At start up, during the 20 minutes it takes to cool the room, the compressor will be operating at full capacity and the fan will also be in operation. The compressor will switch on and run when the temperature rises and switch off when the room has been cooled again… Continue reading
Maintains Steady Temperature : Conventional AC operates in cycles; cooling the temperature to the thermostat level, switching off, and then restarting when the temperature level rises. The ambient room temperature is, therefore, subject to variations. Inverter AC operate through a variable speed drive that controls the supply of power to… Continue reading
Factors Conventional AC Inverter AC Electric Current Operates purely on alternating current (AC) Initial supply of alternating current is converted to direct current and back to alternating current at the required frequency Running of Compressor The compressor operates in cycles. It cuts off when the room temperature reaches the level… Continue reading
Inverter AC are equipped with a rectifier that converts the incoming alternating current into a direct current. The direct current is routed to a modulator that converts the direct current back into alternating current of the required frequency. The converted alternating current is supplied to a variable frequency drive that… Continue reading
Conventional AC have compressors that work at a fixed speed or not at all. The compressor will work at its maximum output – 100% of its capacity whenever it is on, or it will remain idle. The compressor is either on or off. The speed of these compressor cannot be… Continue reading
Equipment that converts alternating current into direct current is called a rectifier, and equipment that converts direct current into alternating current is called an inverter. The power supply from your local electricity supplier to your household is in the form of an alternating current. Alternating current (AC), is the electric… Continue reading
A normal one ton AC uses on an average about 1.25 units of electricity every running hour. This of course will vary depending on many factors like outside temperature, insulation factor of the room, etc., but 1.25 units of electricity is about the average. The 1 ton inverter AC power… Continue reading
An inverter compressor in AC solves all the disadvantages of the normal AC and saves more than 40% on electricity bills as claimed by some of the manufacturers. Apart from this the inverter AC is very silent compared to a normal AC and the compressor lasts much longer, because it… Continue reading
