LoadShed-ed

Optional.... Enclosure

As you see - the unit is so attractive, that there's no real reason to hide it.  Generally, the battery(s) are easy to hide behind flat screen TVs or in the existing TV cabinet.

However - if you want an enclosure, we have two options to choose from, both on carstor wheels:

1) A black steel cabinet - battry(s) inside - inverter on top.

2) White or black super-wood - battery(s) inside and inverter behind glass* pane.

 

*Our preimium brand Home and Office units have been tested in a room with ambient 44 decibel sound at 62 decibels 1m from decimeter.  Ellies and Mecer brands both scored over 70 decibels.  Behind the glass, our unit drops to 52 decibels.  With noise cancellation foam, sound drops to 48 decibels.

 

Pure vs Modified Sinewave?

In application, "Sinewave" is a measure of the 'quality' of power - and its compatibility with sensitive electronics.

If you ask around, you'll hear a mention of "pure sinewave" vs "modified sinewave" inverters.

 

If you want to torture your mind with learning about what 'Sinewave' means - link to the Technical Stuff page

 

Let's just clear this up in simple terms:

Electricity has a wave form - pure sinewave is a smooth, undulating wave; at the other end of the scale is 'square wave'.

To grasp the significance, let's draw a real-life analogy:

A component - say, a computer - plugged into an inverter is receiving a never ending stream of waves passing through it; it's a little like driving down a road that rises and falls: Both you and your car's suspension will appreciate if the road-maker took the time to smooth out the undulations so that the undulations have a smoothe rise to each crest.  You would absolutely not enjoy driving if the road is a never-ending seires of squeared-off pavements - crashing endlessly into vertical rises.  That is what a square-wave inverter does - square wave is a disaster for electronic equipment.

Alas - square wave likes to call itself "modified sinewave" - and this

gives modified sinewave a bad name.

 

However - a good quality modified sinewave smoothes out the big

steps in its ossilating waves so that they are as close as possible to

the pure sinewave's 'clean power' required by electronics.

This is why a CE (European) mark of quality assuredness is so critical

to ensure that you are buying a quality product that will be gentle

on your equipment.

 

We can offer you both pure sinewave and top quality modified sinewave (in our DIY range).  It just comes down to your budget.

For TVs, computers, wifi, etc - our modified sinewave units are absolutely adequate - there is no need to spend significantly more money for no gain.

But - if you're going to hook up to your distribution board with a big unit - yes - pure sinewave is the way to go.

 

Keeping it Simple

During a load shed, you have two primary needs, needs that we will meet at an affordable price and without agravation - keeping electronics from (catastrophically) crashing, and keeping some lights.

To do this, we specialize and carry a Home and an Office solution:

 

Home

1200VA unit provides 1200W peak power and 720-Watts continues power

• Perfect for ensuring DSTV-PVR, TV, WiFi, table lamps, alarm system, etc... never miss a beat, never crash... and you never miss a game or dissapoint visitors.

Office / Restaurant / Shop

2400VA unit provides 2400W peak power and 1440-Watts continues power

• Perfect for keeping the doors open and business running like nothing even happened - cash till, credit-card machine, CCTV, computers, internet access/WiFi, lights, fridge, etc.  Your office never misses has another 'closed-for-business' day, and your sensitive equipment never catastrophically fails - with all its valuable information.
