Product Details
Are you in the dark during load shedding?
Does your favourite program stop recording on your PVR?
Do you need to catch up work on your computer?
Does your phone run flat when you need it the most?
You need an inverter system. See below Frequently Asked Questions on how they work:
Q) What is an inverter system and what does it do do?
It is an inverter unit coupled with a battery which provides power when there is load shedding. It keeps its battery charged when there is Eskom power. As soon as Eskom power cuts, the system instantly transfers over to battery power so you can keep your lights, TV, computers (excluding Apple Mac), chargers and wifi running during load shedding.
Q) Is it easy to connect up? Do I have to fiddle with electronics?
It is super easy The system is plug and play.
The inverter has a regular 3 pin plug that goes into the wall. You then have a 3 way multiplug on the inverter that allows you to connect any appliance you want. Keep the appliances connected at all times, the inverter will automatically switch to battery as soon as it detects Eskom power is down.
Q) How much backup time will I have on the unit before normal Eskom power come back on to recharge the battery?
Assume a computer, TV, and desk lamp are connected to the inverter:
This unit will last 2-3 hours
Only want a lamp, wifi router and laptop connected to the inverter:
This unit will last 5-6 hours
Q) What appliances can I run on the inverter system?
Our plug and play systems will run any appliance that has low power usage and does not have a motor. So you can run TVs, computers, wifi, lights, chargers, etc.
Fridges, fans, heaters are not recommended to be connected to inverters. For those items, we can suggest a more specialised system - please click "contact us" and let us know your requirements.
Please note, this unit is considered as a 'large' UPS - it will not be able to charge a smaller UPS as it is modified sine wave
Q) Can I connect the inverter to my houses DB (electric) board so that my whole house is powered when Eskom does load shedding?
Sure you can - It does come more expensive than the plug and play solution, but please feel free to "contact us" we will pop through a customized quote.
Q) What is the warranty/guarantee?
The entire system comes with a 6 months warranty.
