Sukam Power Inverters in Nigeria

Sukam is a well known Power Inverter, UPS and Battery manufacturer in Nigeria. It is originally a brand from India.

Sukam Product Range


1. Sukam Power Inverters - Power inverters are designed to provide electric power when the electricity mains supply is either switched off or going through a planned maintenance. In Nigeria, where the power supply has been unsteady for many years. It comes as a ready power inverter to serve the needs of many businesses when there is a power failure.

The basic principle of power inverters involves three main stages:

a. Power Inverter Charging

: Power inverters are designed with a charging circuit - this power charging circuit is usually designed to provide electric current to the connected battery. so a 12 Volt inverter would be designed to charge a single battery or group of batteries connected in parallel. The battery to be charged is usually a Sealed Maintenance Free (SMF) battery designed to withstand the high current requirement of power inverters.
For charging to take place a transformer is used in the circuit to step down or step up the alternating current (AC) voltage from the 220/240V to 12/24/48V/180V/360V or more depending on the design. This output voltage of this transformer is then converted to a direct current -DC. This is because the power inverter batteries are designed to operate on Direct Current (DC) voltage. Hence, the name DC power inverter or DC to AC power inverter.

b. Inverting the stored power:

The inverting circuit is designed to convert the stored energy in the battery to electric power energy. The charges stored in the battery in DC is converted to Alternating Current (AC) and then stepped up to the desired output voltage usually 220/240V in Nigeria. The output of the inverting circuit by default is not pure. Rather we have a modified sinewave output. The modified sinewave output is not suitable for most electrical devices, so the need for  a next stage.

c. Power Inverter Smoothing:

The power inverter output is smoothed to convert the modified sinewave output to a pure sinewave output. So Sukam inverters are pure sine wave.
