An inverter and a generator are two types of electricity-producing equipment with distinct working principles and characteristics. A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy to produce electricity. To create electricity, generators typically use an engine to spin a rotor inside a stator, which produces a flow of electrons. Depending on […]

[FAQ] Why Inverter Generator?
An inverter generator is a type of generator that generates alternating current (AC) by converting direct current (DC) into high-quality, steady alternating current (AC). When compared to typical generators, the inverter module uses modern electronics to regulate engine speed and output voltage, resulting in a more exact and stable output waveform. Inverter generators are typically […]
[FAQ] How Much Does It Cost for A Whole House Generator?
A whole house generator can range in price from $5,000 to $20,000 or more. Small and relatively simple models can range between $5,000 and $8,000, while larger and more complex models can range between $15,000 and $20,000 or more. Depending on the difficulty of the install, the installation may cost an additional $3,000 to $5,000. […]
[FAQ] How Does an Electric Generator Work?
An electric generator works by transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy via electromagnetic induction. It is made up of a rotating wire coil (the rotor) and a stationary magnet (the stator). When the rotor revolves, a magnetic field is created, which generates an electrical current in the stator’s wire coils, which can subsequently be sent […]
