“While the capital investment for a large inverter is slightly higher than a DG set, the running cost is much lower unlike recurring high diesel fuel and maintenance costs in a DG set”
– Sriram Ramakrishnan, MD & CEO, Consul Consolidated Pvt. Ltd.
With no end in sight for power cuts in India, the large inverter market is expected to witness robust growth especially with increasing awareness about large inverters being a clean and cost-effective alternative to DG sets. Consul Consolidated, one of the top UPS and stabiliser manufacturers in India, recently acquired Megatech, a Pune-based power electronics company which is a pioneer and leader in the Indian inverter market. Consul now offers these reliable, field-proven large inverters across India through its pan India sales and service network. Sriram Ramakrishnan tells about the large inverter industry, future of DG sets, and Consul’s game plane.
Large inverters industry in IndiaEveryone is aware of domestic inverter also known as home UPS which has become a necessity for every home or small office across the country given the power outages experienced across India. These domestic inverters are typically in the 600 V to 1.5 kV range and used to provide battery-based backup power for lights, fans, TV and other household appliances during a power outage. What many are not aware is that inverters are also now available in larger capacities and can provide three-phase battery-based backup power for power capacities as large as even 200 kV. These large inverters can be used not only to provide backup power for lighting and fans but also can support air conditioners, lifts, refrigerators and other critical loads in  application ranging from retail shops, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, industries, telecom to commercial office space and even residential buildings
Ideal replacement for DG setsDG sets today are still used as the preferred power backup source for many applications because of lack of awareness about clean power backup alternatives like large inverters. Large inverters or “off-line uninterruptible power supplies” manufactured by Consul can provide reliable power backup solution for power outages, ranging from minutes to several hours.
