Know the Difference Between UPS and Inverter
Inverters and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are both used to deliver electricity. To understand their difference, we need to understand how a UPS and an inverter function.

Difference Between UPS and Inverter

An inverter is a tool that enables household electrical appliances to run constantly.

 

It's crucial to keep in mind that such power backup systems need an additional DC (battery) source to store the converted energy when comparing an inverter and a UPS. Another thing to keep in mind is that when the power is turned on, an inverter aids in battery charging by converting the AC source into a DC current. Inverter offers 5 to 10 hours of power backup thanks to its high-capacity batteries. During Mains Power Off, it also takes about 10 to 20 milliseconds for inverter relays to switch from mains power to battery power.

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) 

Similar to an inverter, a UPS is a device that powers loads when there is a power outage. It typically offers power backup for 15 to 60 minutes during a power outage. In UPS, external batteries are used. UPS are often classified into three categories:

Online UPS, offline UPS, and line interactive UPS are examples.
