What is the difference between an inverter and a UPS?

An inverter is a device that converts DC (Direct Current) power into AC (Alternating Current) power. For example, a 12V inverter will convert battery power available at 12V DC into AC power at 230V in India. UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) is a device that normally provides back-up power supply for any electrical gadget. To do this, the UPS typically includes the inverter, battery and battery charger in one standalone unit. UPS units also provide protection against many electrical problems like over-voltages, brownouts, power surges etc. and in certain cases also communicate with the equipments they are powering. We often use the terms interchangeably in India, as given our need for back-up power, a standalone inverter (that converts only DC power to AC power) is often not very useful and we invariably need a device that is also equipped with a battery charger and hence, a UPS.

Buy Inverters at Best Price

Inverters and UPS are used by both households and offices to provide back-up power to electrical equipments in the event of a power outage. While the names inverters and UPS are used interchangeably in India, in strict technical terms an inverter is a device that converts DC (Direct Current) power into AC (Alternating current) power, while a UPS is a device that includes an inverter, battery charger and a battery (the UPS comes with an internal battery in some models). Given our need for back-power in India, a standalone inverter (that converts DC power to AC power) is obviously not very useful and we invariably need a device that is also equipped with a battery charger and hence, a UPS. Other terms used to describe these devices are Home inverters, Home UPS, Office inverters, Office UPS etc.
