Inverters have gained a lot in popularity recently, due to their ease of use. The car inverter is able to change the normal 12V DC voltage into a specific alternating power. You can plug your laptop in, or even a television in the same way as you would in a standard wall socket.
Summer is full swing, so you’re likely to take long car rides and go out on trips. Electronic devices such as tablets for drawing and phones with social media apps, smartphones that can play games, or tablet computers that can draw, are great ways to avoid boredom. These devices, however, require constant power. Car manufacturers are coming to their rescue. Today, they have more cars equipped with USB ports. This allows us to connect a flash drive containing a library MP3 files. Unfortunately, these ports do not always have the right parameters to charge a phone or tablet. So we need a more efficient solution. Here is where the inverter steps in. What is an inverter? What’s it for? Is it safe to use inverters? There are many rumors on the internet that inverters could be dangerous and that they should not be used. Inverters can be safely used if you use them correctly.
What is a car-inverter?
A converter is an accessory which changes the voltage of the current in order to make it possible to connect other electronic devices to the car, such as phones or tablets. It converts 12 VDC from the car’s electrical system into 230 VDC. This makes it possible for other equipment to be safely connected and used. This can be used on the road when there is no access to a standard socket. However, it will charge your phone. This converter can be used in both a vehicle and a truck.
How to safely use the inverter?
The following tips will help you to protect yourself and your equipment while using a car converter.
Protect your inverter against excessive heat
It is important to ensure that you have enough space and adequate ventilation if you plan to install a power-inverter in your vehicle. Inverters can overheat quickly if they are not kept cool. However, many inverters have fans that turn on when required. This consumes more electricity.
Also, don’t use your power converter for extended periods of time when your car isn’t running. Although the inverter will stop working when you turn off the engine, it will continue to function. This will cause your car’s battery to run out very quickly and may force you to call road assistance.
Keep your power consumption to a minimum
Although you may be tempted by the idea of powering something very demanding with your car’s car power inverter you could end up damaging your car battery. It won’t be a disaster right away, but it will soon start to lose capacity and degrade. Avoid buying a new battery by using low-power devices.
