How to choose solar off grid inverter based on power

Many customer advisory technical personnel about solar inverter power, will usually ask how much power is enough to use?. But here we need to make different judgments about different needs.
First of all, you need to know that your system is grid connected or off grid. If it is grid connected, then the power of solar inverter system only needs to be slightly larger than the connected solar power component; if it is off grid, then the power of solar inverter system need to decide according to the load.
Secondly, after the judgment of your system, we need to figer out your total load power and composition (here for off grid system, grid connected system only need to know the total solar power). For the general load, can meet the use when just larger than the load power; if the load is inductive, such as refrigerators, televisions, air conditioning, you need to consider the starting power. Due to the inductive load is usually 3-4 times current at startup, then inverter power must to meet the maximum power, otherwise it can’t start load, therefore the inverter power need to be 3-4 times of the total load power.
Finally, consider the efficiency. General formal manufacturers logo will show the efficiency, the solar off grid inverter efficiency is about 60-90%, the higher the efficiency is, the higher the energy utilization ratio is, of course, the more expensive price. There is a particular point needs to pay attention to, generally the power which inverter manufacturers said is the visual power, such as they say 1KW is actually 1KVA which equivalent to 800W, the user must be aware of this when buying.

Correct selection of backup time for UPS

图片
UPS backup time is generally a problem concerned by customer in the purchase process. Usually most people prefer to choose the  UPS  which power backup the longer the better, in fact, this is not correct. We must firstly clear that the seller will usually have standard type UPS and long-acting UPS. Standard type UPS with built-in battery, after a power interruption can supply power to the load equipment in general for a few minutes to tens of minutes, of course, the length of time depends on the load. Long acting UPS can not only meet the power requirement of load, but also meet the requirements of customers and work types and so on, so the long-term UPS is usually equipped with an external battery pack. If the client is not particularly strict to the work condition of the load, and the power of the load is not particularly large, usually with standard type UPS would be enough. Because the choice of long backup time UPS is bound to increase the number of battery groups an...

126th Canton Fair

On Oct 15th 2019, as one of the most important trade promotion platforms for Chinese enterprises to expand the global market, Canton Fair in Guangzhou focused on highlighting innovation driven, and “independent brand” became a high-frequency word of Canton Fair. Xu Bing, a spokesman for the Canton Fair and deputy director of the China Foreign Trade Center, said that the domestic and foreign environment faced by China’s foreign trade development this year is more complex and uncertain. The majority of exhibitors accelerated quality improvement and innovation, and continued to make efforts in technology research and development, product innovation, brand cultivation, etc., with high technology, high quality, high added value and independent brand products emerging. Many independent innovative R & D products are welcomed by the market. At the same time, purchasers are less sensitive to price and pay more attention to the technology, brand, quality and service of products. In ...

How to maximize the efficiency of your UPS

1.Use of AC voltage regulator After using  UPS power supply , there is no need to add AC voltage regulator. If it must be added, it should be added to the front level of UPS, that is, the mains power first passes through the AC voltage regulator, then through the ups, and then to the load. 2.Battery balanced charging skills At present, valve regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA) used in many ups power supply is called maintenance free battery from the beginning, which gives users a misunderstanding that it seems that this battery is durable and does not need maintenance at all. Under this kind of misleading, many users have not carried out maintenance and management since they installed the battery. When the battery in UPS power supply meets the following conditions, the battery shall be charged evenly: when the terminal voltage is lower than the specified calibration voltage due to excessive discharge. For 12 V small sealed lead-acid batteries, the discharge calibration voltage is...
