2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   The AC output voltage of a power inverter is often regulated to be the same as the grid line voltage, typically 120 or 240 VAC at the distribution level, even when there are changes in the load that the inverter is driving. This allows the inverter to power numerous devices designed for standard line power.

3. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   The energy lost during inversion is for the most part converted into heat. Consequently, for an inverter to output its rated power it must have a power input that exceeds its output. For example, a 5000 W inverter operating at full power at 95% efficiency requires an input of 5,263 W (rated power divided by efficiency).

4. Generator interlock kit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_Interlock_Kit

   A generator interlock kit (or a transfer switch), eliminates the need for extension cords to power appliances. [2]Like a transfer switch, an interlock kit lets the generator energize the panel and all of its circuits (up to the load capacity of the generator); not just corded appliances.

5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit.

6. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   Reactive power: The circulating current can differ from the current consumed when capacitive or inductive loads are used. Harmonic distortion: Non-linear loads may create distortion of the inverter waveform. Mismatch between load and inverter size: When a higher rated inverter is used for a lower capacity load, overall efficiency is reduced. [9]

7. Generac - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generac

   In 1998, Generac sold its portable products division to the Beacon group, a private equity firm, who later sold it to Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Upon expiration of a non-compete agreement related to the sale in 2007, Generac re-entered the portable generator market in 2008. [7] In late 2006, Generac was purchased by CCMP Capital of New York ...
