So what makes inverter generators special?
Generators produce alternating current, which resembles a sine wave. However, normal generators experience an effect called harmonic distortion. Harmonic distortion happens because different frequencies add together and disrupt the flow of current. As the name suggests this causes the sine wave to distort, and the greater this distortion the greater the risk of damaging certain types of equipment. Conventional generators can have a total harmonic distortion as high as 20 percent, as you can imagine, this is far from ideal.
The equipment at the greatest risk is any tool or appliance that has sensetive electronic components. This can be anything from phones, speakers and TV’s to certain kitchen appliances. For a more comprehensive list of things that should be run on a more stable power supply, check out the FAQs.
To solve the problem of harmonic distortion, an inverter generator has two additional steps that a conventional generator doesn’t. It starts off with a process called rectification, which converts the unstable alternating current to direct current. This direct current is then converted back into a stable alternating current output by way of an inverter, hence the name. Inverter generators typically have a harmonic distortion of 3% or less, which makes them suitable to power any equipment, no matter how sensetive.
