How Does An Inverter Work At Rv?

What is an RV inverter? How does an inverter work at RV?Usually appliances in RV need 220V or 110V AC power source. If the RV is connected to shore power, it is providing a power source of 220V or 110V AC electricity into the RV to power those appliances. That is the function of RV inverter. If your RV doesn’t have an inverter, you can select a suitable model for your RV. It seems that the power inverter can power as big as the power you need. Some can power coffee machine, microwave oven and air conditioner. 

The batteries in RV supply 12V DC power source, so you need the inverter to change the 12VDC power from the RV’s batteries to 220V or 110V AC power for use with the appliances. If not using an inverter, you have to operate the generator to supply power. If you need AC electricity very often and don’t want to hear the noise of the generator for long time, the RV inverter will be a good choice.

DC which means direct current, which is constant. But AC as alternating current is changing up and down from +220V to -220V back. The inverter converts 12V DC to 220V or 110V AC by increasing the voltage and changing it to alternating current.

Also some other inverters include bypass function. It can charge your appliances from the AC electricity and stop from the batteries.

Inverter for Recreational Vehicle and for camper trailer

There are two different types of inverters for Recreational Vehicle, pure sine wave and modified sine wave. The main difference is the efficiency and cost of pure sine wave inverter is higher than modified sine wave inverter. The waveform of pure sine wave inverter is exactly same as city power at home. So the appliances can be used by pure sine wave inverter for longer user life. But if your RV inverter chooses modified sine wave inverter, it will also work as your expectation. Just choose based on your budget. 

Finally we would like to recommend CARSPA P series pure sine wave inverter and CAR series modified sine wave inverter for your options. P series is our classic model with stable performance and is widely used in projects. It is also power inverter for camper trailer. If you have more interests, feel free to contact us via our website.
