Power inverters work as an electrical converter which allows a direct current to change into alternating current. This is the commonly known as a DC-AC power conversion. In short, inverters work the opposite as rectifiers that converts AC or alternating current into DC or direct current.
To prevent you backup Inverter from sudden overloading. You should manually control your Inverter. When power fails. Shut down all loads. Turn on your Inverter with a with no loads on the AC line. The slowly begin to turn on loads to your backup Inverter. Start with just the lighting systems and then work you way to higher current loads such as Air Conditioning Units. Another way to solve your problem is add maybe 5 additional Units in parallel. You need to calculate all the power loads in your house is using making sure your inverter can handle the complete load. Why the Inverter fails is due to high inductive loads. The Inductive loads appear as a short circuit to you Inverter. The only way around that problem is to limit the number of inductive loads the your Inverter is supplying power to.
yes
An inverter is just a device to invert one form of electrical power supplied to its input into another form of electrical power as its output. A soft starter may be included into an inverter design, its function is just to provide temporary power to the inverter until it gets started. After that the soft starter is disabled, usually by a diode feedback link.
The offline UPS is in standby mode. The charger is maintaining the battery, but the inverter stage is not running. Power goes from input to output, bypassing the inverter. In this configuration, the charger and inverter design is less, as the charger is usually in trickle mode and the inverter does not need to run continuously. On power fail, the inverter starts up and takes the load. There is a glitch in output, a few line cycles, but most loads can handle this. The online UPS runs all the time. The charger now runs the inverter, as well as maintaining charge on the battery. The inverter supplies the load. Power goes from input to charger to inverter to output. In this configuration, the charger and inverter design is more, as they need to run continuously. On power fail, there is no glitch, because the inverter is already running and supplying the load. Usually, there is synchronization between the inverter and the line, so that failure of the inverter can initiate fall-back to the line without glitch.
It depends on the draw of the compressor.
Inverter efficiency varies with DC input voltage, ambient temperature, and operating power level of the inverter. It can mean power-out divided by power-in.
Probably not because all UK appliances work on 240 v while in the USA they work on either 120 v or 240 v. You need to check which voltage your power inverter works at.
Most likely yes depending on your inverter and how long you run it. I have done it once before. I ran a sub woofer and a PA horn in my dad's work van for fun. Ran it for about a half hour. It was a 1000 watt inverter on a 700cca battery. The amplifier was bridged to 150 watts RMS. If you run more power you might need a bigger inverter. Out inverter also has circuitry that filters out noise.
Yes, provided the power inverter has a high enough power rating (wattage) for the CPAP device.

If you are looking for a power inverter then you are going to need to take a number of things into account. These power inverters are not all equal, and they will vary in price and functionality. This blog will look at how you can narrow down your search to the right power inverter for your needs.

One can purchase a 12V power inverter from a variety of stores. Stores such as Home Depot, Walmart, The Inverter Store, Harbor Freight Tools, and Amazon sell them.
The voltage and frequency should be marked on the fan. This should match the voltage and frequency of the power coming out of the inverter. The inverter also has be capable of supplying anough power (in watts).
Solar inverter modifies the electricity from the solar panels and changes it to power the appliances in a house. This inverter has a special feature that can adapt for use with photovoltaic arrays.
The primary function of the power inverter in a power supply is to change the direct current (DC) to the alternating current (AC). The design of the power inverter is dependent on the input voltage, output voltage and frequency, meaning that the inverter could be solely electronic or may have a combination of electronic circuits and mechanical effects.
