What is the difference between UPS linear load and non linear load

AC electrical loads are referred to either as linear or non linear load depending on how they draw current from the mains power supply waveform. Linear Load UPS loads where the voltage and current waveforms are sinusoidal. The current at any time isproportional to voltage. Linear load is: POWER FACTOR IMPROVEMENT CAPACITORS, INDESCENT LAMPS, HEATERS […]

What is single phase ups

Single phase UPS has a single input and output source to the electrical equipment. With just one sinewave voltage, it only requires two wires to complete the circuit, one conductor and one neutral. Single phase UPS uninterruptible power supplies typically cover requirements up to 30 kVA. They are for servers, telecoms or computer systems, and […]

How many solar panels can a 5kw solar inverter handle

A 5kw solar inverter is widely used for 5kW solar power system, it should easily offset a typical home’s electricity usage. However, most users installing solar these days tend to install systems larger than 5kW as this provides better bang for buck – 6KW & 6.6kW systems are now considered entry level. 5kW solar systems […]

What is the ups power factor

Power factor (pf) is the difference between actual energy consumed and the apparent powerin an AC circuit. It will calculate as a decimal or percentage between 0-1 pf and 0-100% i.e. 0.9 pF = 90%. UPS input power factor The UPS input power factor is the ratio of UPS input active power to input power. […]

Prostar power inverter is low-frequency, transformer-based systems designed to power ample loads over an extended period of time. If you’re new to RV and camper electric systems, terms like converter, inverter and charger can make your head spin. Many youtubers use these words interchangeably (or incorrectly) further adding to the confusion. Our goal with this […]

Best off grid solar system for your home

Off grid solar system means meeting all your energy needs from the sun . To make this possible, you need to install a solar power system, at the site of power consumption. Choosing the best off grid solar system is not easy, because off-grid systems are more complicated than the grid-connected. Installing an off grid […]

Solar Inverter Basic Functions

Solar power inverter is the hardest-working component of a solar array, it is the heart of the solar power system. So what exactly does solar power inverter do? Convert DC to AC power The basic function of an inverter is to convert the direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power, that is usable […]

Inverters with built-in solar charge controller pros and cons

In a typical PV system, the inverters accomplish two basic tasks: 1) converts DC power from the batteries into household AC, it can power standard appliances and other energy loads, and 2) converts AC into DC energy, it can charge deep cycle batteries. This two-way exchange of energy is crucial for efficiently storing and using […]
