What is an inverter generator?

A generator that rectifies the alternator output and regenerates a sine wave electronically. That gives a mains-quality output and lets the engine speed follow the load.

Is an inverter generator quieter than a conventional one?

Yes. Engine speed drops at light load, so noise drops with it — typically 56–65 dBA at 7 m in this class. A conventional set runs at fixed speed and makes the same noise regardless of load.

Can I run a computer from an inverter generator?

Yes. The clean sine-wave output is suitable for computers, medical equipment, audio systems and modern appliances; it is the clearest advantage over a conventional AVR-regulated set.

Can an inverter generator be used in a caravan?

Yes, it is one of the most common uses: compact body, low noise and clean output suit caravan and camping use. If it has to run caravan air conditioning, choose a higher rating because of the starting current.

What will a 2 kVA inverter generator run?

A 2 kVA set delivers about 1.6 kW continuously — lighting, a laptop, a modem, a television, a small fridge and chargers fit comfortably.

How much fuel does an inverter generator use?

Less than a conventional set, because engine speed follows the load; a 2 kVA set is typically around 0.9 l/h at full load. Consumption and tank capacity are published on every product page.

Inverter Generators

An inverter generator rectifies the alternator output and regenerates it electronically. The result is a clean sine wave of mains quality, safe for computers, medical equipment, audio systems and modern appliances. Because engine speed tracks the load rather than staying fixed, it also runs far quieter and burns less fuel than a conventional set.

How an inverter set differs from a conventional one

A conventional generator holds its engine at a fixed speed — usually 3000 rpm — regardless of load, because that is what fixes the output frequency. An inverter generator produces the frequency electronically at the output, so the engine can run at whatever speed the load requires. At light load it slows down, and both noise and fuel consumption drop noticeably.

The second difference is waveform. The sine wave an inverter set produces is cleaner than that of a conventional AVR-regulated set, with lower total harmonic distortion. Wherever sensitive electronics are involved, that difference decides the choice.

Clean sine wave — safe for computers and medical equipment
Engine speed tracks load — quiet and economical at light load
Compact suitcase body — carried by one person
Typical noise level 56–65 dBA at 7 m

What rating do you need

Inverter sets are typically built between 0.8 kVA and 8 kVA. A 2 kVA set covers lighting, a laptop, a modem, a small fridge and chargers; a 3.5 kVA set adds a small water heater or a power tool. The 7–8 kVA class is for heavier loads such as caravan air conditioning and mobile trade units.

Air conditioners, electric heaters and compressors draw several times their rated power on start-up, so those loads call for the next class up.
