Can an inverter run an air conditioner?

In general, an inverter can run an air conditioner for as long as there is a sufficient power supply. Inverter air conditioner compatibility is also an important factor to consider when running an air conditioner with an inverter.

How to choose an inverter DC?

The foremost thing you need to ensure is that your inverter DC should be proportional to the AC amperes. For instance, a small unit of AC would require a small inverter size. This is because your inverter will supply a certain amount of power to ensure the efficient functioning of your AC during a power outage.

Can an AC run on an inverter during a power outage?

Now, you won’t have even a moment of discomfort, because now your AC is ready to run even during power outages. For an AC that runs on the inverter, head to the online Croma store and take your pick from our range of the best ACs in India.

Why do I need a small inverter?

For instance, a small unit of AC would require a small inverter size. This is because your inverter will supply a certain amount of power to ensure the efficient functioning of your AC during a power outage. If your inverter fails to match your AC ampere, it will overload your circuit and trip open.

Do you need a pure sine wave inverter for your air conditioner?

Before even considering a particular inverter to run your air conditioner, make sure that it is a Pure Sine Wave inverter. As mentioned above, an inverter converts the power out of a DC source (which will have a relatively low voltage and a high current) into AC power (which will have a relatively high voltage and low current).

How does an inverter work?

As you may already know, an inverter’s job is to turn DC (direct current) power into the AC (alternating current) power that your air conditioner requires. However, the waveform of this alternating current that the inverter outputs, will depend on the type of inverter itself. In terms of the waveform, there are 2 types of inverters on the market:
