This question pertains to inversores, the AC/DC converters.
Where I live, in the environs of Santo Domingo, I am paying RD
5000, monthly, for a three bedroom apartment. The near-dealbreaker is the fact that the electricity is continually either going off for a period of time or experiencing momentary current fluctuations.
The latter, momentary current fluctuations, is a worse problem that not having electricity for a few hours. There's nothing more frustrating than multi-tasking on your computer and it shutting down because of a less than one second fluctuation, and losing your work. Then starting up again, setting up again?only to lose everything again in a few minutes.
I believe it's high time for my first purchase of an inversor. I will first check Cuesta on El Conde. I have made many purchases there. There are few clients and the staff are helpful?the perfect place to buy from if you have a problem, rather than, say, Plaza Llama?a big boxstore with faceless customer service.
I need some opinions for a first time buyer of an inversor. Those of you with experience maybe can offer me some words of advice or ?Gotchas!? For example, if you were going to buy a inversor, second time around, would your purchase be different?
Best quality manufacturer? Do's and don'ts . . .
As far as capacity and cost are concerned, I'm probably less concerned about running time than I am protection against voltage drops.
I'm sure others will find this post useful if it turns into a nice thread . . .
Regards,
