Always have power at hand
On the road or in the field, you don't always have the luxury of a power outlet nearby. Sometimes you really need electrical power on location, with the right, reliable voltage to get to work. With an inverter generator, everything is possible. Inverter generators are silent generators that you can use anywhere - from your workshop to remote locations.
Starting at the beginning
Before we explore why an inverter generator is so very handy, it's good to know what function a generator has.
Unit
A generator is the general name for a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy is done by the physical phenomenon of induction.
Why an inverter generator?
The inverter generator was invented to have a stabilised alternating current. This is especially important for sensitive devices that need stable electricity or small equipment that needs constant voltage. That's why you want to receive electricity from a generator that produces a nice, constant current, without high peaks and troughs.
How does the inverter work?
An inverter converts the high voltage into direct current. The direct current is then converted into usable and stable alternating current, as it comes from a socket. An additional advantage of an inverter on an aggregate is that it usually also controls the motor speed. As a result, an inverter is often much more economical than an ordinary generator. The speed of the engine also increases as more power is needed. But the biggest advantage is that the inverter makes much less noise.
Buying your inverter
We highly recommend the Briggs & Stratton inverter generator. It is small, but packed with features and always provides the right voltage. The compact design and the use of light materials make this generator easy to lift, carry and store. What are the other advantages?
- USB connection
The Briggs & Stratton inverter generator comes with a USB connection as standard. With more and more devices using USB connections, it’s a remarkably handy feature which ensures you can maintain maximum charge. The P3000 inverter has two USB ports, one 12v connection and two sockets, so you can charge or power almost any device. - Quieter
Compared to other generators, the inverter generator is relatively quiet because the housing attenuates the engine noise. This means a less disruptive and uncomfortable working environment, whether that’s in the workshop or in the field. They are also very handy for recreational use. For example, at the campsite or for a party in the garden. - Increase your power
The inverter generators of Briggs & Stratton can be connected to each other. In this way you can easily increase the power. That’s particularly beneficial, because two small inverter generators are easier to transport than one large generator. - Reduced fuel consumption
The Power Smart function ensures that you use less fuel, because the engine delivers exactly what is required. As a result, a generator with inverter technology uses fuel more efficiently.
Advice
If you're considering buying a generator, buy one with inverter technology. The often sensitive equipment in the workshop just keeps on working when you need extra power. An inverter is very low in fuel consumption, quiet, versatile and cost-effective. A real asset for your field of work.
