Choosing Between High and Low Frequency Inverters for Your
High frequency inverters use smaller, lighter parts and work best for light loads. Low frequency inverters use bigger parts and handle heavy loads or strong surges.
A low frequency inverter incorporates large transformers to handle higher surge loads and provide robust performance under demanding conditions. These units are: Typical applications: Choosing between a high frequency vs low frequency inverter depends on: To support system design and procurement, consider these inverter types:
Low-frequency Inverters are designed to handle high-surge loads, typically 2-5 times their rated power output. This makes them perfect for refrigerators, compressors, or air conditioners requiring extra power during startup. High-frequency inverters typically have 1.5-2 times their rated power, which limits their surge capacity.
If you need to power appliances with high surge requirements, like refrigerators, compressors, or industrial machinery, a low-frequency inverter is a better choice due to its ability to handle high starting currents.
A high frequency inverter uses advanced switching components (MOSFETs or IGBTs) to convert DC to AC with minimal transformer mass. These units are: Typical applications: A low frequency inverter incorporates large transformers to handle higher surge loads and provide robust performance under demanding conditions. These units are:
