What is the effect of the inverter? Have you understood all the functions, effects and benefits of the inverter yet? Inverter is inherently one of the essential devices for today’s electrical equipment. So we need to learn more about the inverter so as not to waste the useful uses of this device.
1 – What is an inverter?
Inverter is a device used to convert the frequency of alternating current from one frequency to another.

2 – What is the function of the inverter?
2.1 – The effect of the inverter is to protect the motor
With the traditional starting method, the engine can quickly fail due to possible conflicts. But the inverter can change the motor speed easily. Therefore, the motor’s starting current will not be more than 1.5 times the conventional starting, and 4-6 times the rated current.
When applying inverter to electrical machinery and equipment, the electronic system will be protected from overcurrent, protected from high voltage, low voltage and create a safe operating system. Thus, the effect of the inverter on motor protection is extremely important.
2.2 – The effect of the inverter is to help machines reduce mechanical wear
Another worry of operating the machine is wear and tear. The faster the wear and tear, the faster the machinery will be damaged and degraded. When using the inverter in the machinery system, it will help the process of starting from low speed, helping the motors with large loads not to start suddenly, the mechanical part will avoid damage, help increase engine life. This is the effect of the inverter that is appreciated by many people.
2.3 – Inverter saves electric energy
The ability to easily change the speed helps the inverter to save a large amount of energy. Because then the loads will not need to run at full capacity. According to calculations, the inverter saves electricity by 20-30% compared to the traditional starting system.
2.4 – Improve machine productivity and increase product quality
Not only does it save power, the effect of the inverter can also help the motor operate faster, usually 54 – 60Hz. A conventional motor has a speed of 1500v/p with 50HZ, when an inverter is added, it is 1800v/p with 60Hz. This increases the output of the machine and increases the speed of the exhaust fans.
3 – What are the benefits of inverters in the manufacturing industry?
In addition to the effects of the inverter as above, the inverter also brings great benefits to the manufacturing industry.
3.1 – Avoid mechanical wear to the engine
When the motor is started, the mechanical wear is uncontrollable, but when the inverter is applied to the motor, the mechanical wear is more limited. The inverter helps the motor to start more smoothly, even though the process of starting – switching the motor takes place continuously.
3.2 – Protect electrical equipment in the same system and save electricity
Once the motor is started directly, the starting current will be many times larger than the rated one. Therefore, the motor will consume a large amount of power. Therefore, the use of inverter in the motor will make the start smoother and importantly, the starting current will be lower than the rated current. Helps to save a large amount of energy.
Especially the inverter helps the motor to avoid voltage drop (which can cause damage) to electrical equipment in the same system. For motors such as pumps, fans, air compressors, etc. Or those that need flow/pressure control, the inverter will help stop the motor with no-load mode, helps to save maximum power consumption.
3.3 – Production productivity is enhanced
For industries such as dyeing, textile, plastic, etc. application of inverter will help to increase productivity a lot compared to using direct source. In addition, it also helps to reduce cumbersome and ineffective accessories such as pulleys, auxiliary motors, etc.
3.4 – Consistent with current technology
Industries that require synchronous speed such as paper, textile, packaging, steel printing, … or require flow and pressure control such as water, compressed air, etc., the application of inverter is essential, because it meet technology requirements and help improve productivity.
Nowadays, inverter is a widely used technology and applied to production technology. With the above effects of the inverter, it can be seen that it makes a huge contribution to the improvement of household electrical appliances and machines to serve production and business activities. In addition, the inverter also helps to increase the life and stability of the longest-lasting electrical equipment.
