Kelwon has unveiled compact and wall-mounted Lithium-ion inverters in India. The systems come in power ratings from 1 kVA to 10 kVA, with operating voltages of 12.8 V to 120 V, respectively.
The inverter system has an inbuilt lithium battery, which can be charged with solar as well as grid electricity. Being wall-mountable, the inverter poses no safety hazard as it has no hanging wires or terminals.
“Traditional [lead-acid battery] inverters produce indoor air pollution, which is a health hazard, especially for kids and elders living in the house. These produce a foul smell, fumes, and bad odor, which pollutes the air within the house. Also, traditional battery inverters are placed on the floor, which makes it a safety hazard for kids and pets. The hanging wires and terminals can be dangerous for the playing kids and pets in the house,” said H.S. Bhatia, managing director of Kelwon. “[In comparison], our hybrid lithium-ion battery inverter is wall-mountable, portable, and highly safe.”
The Kelwon inverter auto-selects the AC power source first for battery charging and support load during the daytime, which reduces the power consumption for battery charging and saves electricity costs.
“It is a smart inverter with two modes for inverter and UPS, pure sinewave output, auto-restart feature while AC is recovering, and overload/over temperature/short-circuit protection,” stated the company. The portable model can be used for the outdoor purpose as a power bank.
Kelwon Lithium-ion inverters come with a comprehensive warranty of 60 months both on the inverter and the battery.
This product has a long life of 15 years with negligible maintenance, which makes it far more cost effective than traditional inverters.
The price starts from INR 49,990 for a 1 kVA inverter and onwards for bigger sizes.
