Hi,
I am looking to purchase an Inverter for my house and I would like to know if whether I should purchase an Inverter or a UPS? I don't want to power any appliances. I only want to use it to run ceiling fans, and maybe a bulb and/or tubelight.
It looks to me as if the two words are being used interchangeably, is that the case? For example I saw a reference to APC inverters so I checked their website to see the range of inverters they have, only to find out they don't have any inverters. What they have are uninterruptible power supplies and not inverters.
So please help me through this confusion.
Here are my requirements:
I want to be able to run 3-4 ceiling fans, a bulb and a tubelight for around two hours. My house has 3 meters so I don't know if whether one inverter can take care of all 3?
So considering this, my questions would be as follows:
First and foremost, should I buy a UPS or an Inverter?
Which brand?
What kind? (the technical details like Watts / VA etc)
Which battery brand and type/kind?
I am willing to spend extra on a quality manufacturer.
Thank you!
