Tripp Lite Inverters: Alternative Power Sources in Emergency Situations
Alternative AC power has become an invaluable resource during emergency situations when normal utility power is not available. Tripp Lite PowerVerter® DC-to-AC Inverters provide convenient sources of reliable power during emergency situations, including during hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and other severe weather conditions. By connecting to any vehicle's battery, PowerVerters convert DC battery power into AC household power to run a variety of appliances and equipment. Best of all, Tripp Lite Inverters provide clean, AC power without the noise and cost of generators.
Jeff Law, Senior Product Manager for Tech Data Distributing, is a resident of Florida and knows all too well the importance of having reliable AC power when none is readily available. The PV375 Ultra-Compact Inverter provided him with crucial alternative power when he needed it most: during the peak of Florida's nightmare hurricane season in 2004!
"The compact PV375 Tripp Lite inverter, that I received at a Tripp Lite training program, came in handy during hurricane Frances. 47 of Florida's 67 counties had power outages, and I lost power about 3:50 p.m. Saturday afternoon and I didn't have a generator. Once I lost power, I remembered that I had the 375-watt inverter in the trunk of my car, so I plugged it into the cigarette lighter of my car and ran an extension cord from my car in the driveway to inside my house. To generate power, all I had to do was simply start the car and let it idle in the driveway for hours at a time, which didn't consume much gas. This inverter allowed my family and me to monitor the radar and weather reports on a small TV, especially at night when the hurricane really increased in force. Tripp Lite's PV375 inverter really came in handy and was much cheaper and quieter than the $650 to $1,500 generators that are usually sold out at stores throughout the area. I became a big fan of Tripp Lite's PowerVerter Inverters over the weekend." |
