Let’s explore a significant innovation in the portable power of inverter generators. It has become a topic of interest for its unique benefits over conventional open-frame and standby generators. At CD Power, we recognise the importance of informed choices, so let’s delve into what sets inverter generators apart and whether they’re the right choice for you.

What is an inverter generator?

Inverter generators are distinct due to their electronic mechanism that regulates the power supply. Unlike conventional generators that run at full capacity regardless of demand, inverter generators adapt their output based on the power required. They only work as hard as necessary, leading to significant fuel savings, reduced emissions, and lower operating noise levels.

The ability to adjust power output makes inverter generators more fuel-efficient and presents considerable financial benefits over time, outweighing the initial cost.

Are silent generators and inverter generators the same?

While both silent and inverter generators aim to reduce noise, their approach and technology differ. Silent generators are typically designed with noise reduction materials and structures, like sound-attenuating enclosures, to dampen the noise physically. On the other hand, inverter generators inherently operate more quietly due to their electronic mechanism that adjusts the engine’s speed to the power load, reducing noise at the source.

Inverter generator vs generator

An inverter generator has three clear advantages: weight, reduced operating noise level, and mobility. These features make them an excellent option for portable power needs. Their functionality resembles modern HVAC systems with inverter technology, offering more efficient operation and reduced costs.

Compared to conventional open-frame generators, the portability of inverter generators is immediately evident. Their design allows easy transportation and use in various settings, from home to outdoor activities. Their significantly quieter operation further enhances this flexibility. Even at full capacity, inverter generators can be up to 50 dBA quieter than open-frame models, a difference that’s hard to ignore in noise-sensitive environments.
