In this article we
learn about the difference between UPS and inverter. We will discuss in detail
of the difference between UPS and inverter.
Difference between UPS and Inverter
Inverter |
UPS(union power supply) |
1. Inverter is the parts of UPS
|
UPS is the combination of rectifier and inverter, with
battery.
|
2. Cost of Inverter is lower than UPS.
It is the basic difference between ups and inverter
|
UPS cost is much higher than inverter because it have more equipment
than inverter.
|
3. Inverter is an electrical device which converts DC power into
AC power.
The load will experience AC even though supply is DC such as
batteries. The electricity can be at any desired voltage. It's usually set to
home voltage for normal home appliances application.
|
UPS is a device which gives emergency power supply. UPS is
like battery and it work like also inverter.
It gives AC power when the main power is not available. When
main power is restored a rectifier supplies DC supply to recharge the
batteries.
|
4. Inverter takes low voltage DC power and
converts it to AC power Mains level AC voltage. For example 12V lead acid
battery to 230V supply.
|
UPS first stores energy then releases when there is a power
cut off or power supply not available then it provide power supply.
This is also a difference between UPS and inverter.
|
5. Inverter are generally convert DC (direct current) power into AC(
alternating current) power.
|
It have a battery source and also have converter which converter AC
power into DC power and DC power into AC power according to requirement.
When it became charge it converts AC power into DC power. So these
are also the difference between ups and inverter.
|
6. The inverter alone uses less without DC power supply.
|
It can be used as battery, for emergency power
supply.
|
It is an electronic gadget which converts AC into DC.
|
It is a device which is used for emergency power supply.
|
7. An inverter is an internal block of a
UPS.
In a UPS inverter are also
available. We can simply say that ups can work of inverter.
|
Inverter does not work like power pack. Because it cannot store energy.
It is main difference between UPS and inverter.
|
8. Inverter is used to
support power supplies when there is black out
|
It is also used to support power supplies when there is black out.
|
9. it does not provide much protection .
|
It provides more protection than inverter.
|
10. it has changeover , in emergency it can changeover supply .
|
It has not changeover, it cannot changeover contact.
|
Hence it is the difference between UPS and inverter. If you
will find any incorrect please comment below.
