The inverter generator is an electromechanical machine that produces electricity thanks to the combination of an alternator and a combustion engine. In other words, it is an electric generator composed of: motor, alternator, control panel, base (open or closed, fixed or mobile, ie on wheels), and casing, present only in closed current generators which in this case are called silenced or soundproofed. The engine, through the fuel, produces mechanical energy, while the alternator is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

What kind of engine must have a generator set with inverter technology

The combustion engine of a generator set with inverter can be of different types: petrol, diesel, gas or external type. The petrol-powered engine is mainly used for generating sets up to 10 kW. The diesel engine is usually used for generator sets from 8 kVA up to several tens of kVA.

Types of electric generators

In addition to the decision of the right power depending on the load to be fed, another very important aspect in choosing the inverter generator set that best suits your needs are the noise, which changes according to the type of generator. Among the main types, are mainly open generators, such as those of our Fast, Next, Cosmo, Air, Space and Welder series, which have all the electrical and mechanical components in sight, without mechanical protection and noise abatement, and the groups silenced or hooded electric generators, like those of our Urban, Argo, Mistral, and Road series, which are characterized by their high degree of mechanical protection and high noise reduction, thanks to the metal sheet steel hood, which encloses all internal parts.
