Inverter Generators Are Great Options For Camping And Rv Trips
If you have ever wondered what the difference between an inverter and generator was, you are not alone. If you throw into the mix the fact that there is something called an inverter generator, things can seem even more confusing.
Inverter generators work like traditional generators because they convert some type of energy into electrical energy and produce AC (alternating current) power. The AC power is then converted to DC (direct current) power and than back to AC. The reasoning behind this conversion is due to the power that is gained during the conversion process.
This helps the generator to be more fuel efficient and quieter than the more conventional generator that simply produces AC power. There are many manufacturers of inverter generators to compare, including Yamaha, Onan and Honda’s eu 200i series. In addition you have to decide if you like a 4-stroke gas powered or diesel generator
