Monsoon Inverter Safety Tips: Heavy rains continue in many states of the country. In such a situation, do not commit 3 mistakes while using the inverter during power cut.
Inverter Care in Rainy Season: Monsoon has started across the country. It is raining heavily in many states, while at many places heavy rains are becoming a disaster. Due to torrential rains, flood-like conditions have arisen in Delhi-NCR, UP, Bihar, Gujarat and Karnataka. In such weather, due to waterlogging and strong winds, power supply gets hit the most. In many areas, power cuts are occurring for hours, after which the only support left in homes is inverters. Often people unknowingly put too much load on the inverter, due to which its fuse blows or the inverter card gets burnt. Let us know which 3 things should not be used with inverter in this season.
Which 3 things should not be used with inverter?
Water Heater or Geyser
When the weather becomes a little cool during monsoon, people turn on geysers. The load of the geyser is very high (1000 to 3000 watts). Do not make the mistake of running it on inverter during power cut.
Water Motor (Water Pump)
It is common to run the motor during rains to fill the water tank, but at the time of starting the motor takes double the load of its capacity. Running the motor on the inverter can cause immediate damage to its components.
High watt kitchen appliances (Microwave & Mixer Grinder)
In case of power failure, use of mixer, microwave or heavy toaster in the kitchen suddenly increases the load on the inverter, due to which the inverter trips and the entire light in the house may go off. Keep in mind, use the inverter only as a backup and not as the main power supply. In case of power cut, it is wise to remove the plugs of heavy household appliances from their sockets.
Important tips for inverter safety
- During rainy days, humidity increases in the house, which is the biggest enemy for electronics. To keep your inverter safe, do not store it in a closed or damp place. It is important to have air ventilation around it.
- Due to moisture, carbon gets deposited on the terminals of the battery. Keep cleaning it with warm water and cotton cloth.
- If the inverter is repeatedly warning of overload, immediately turn off all non-essential fans and lights.
