Efficiency analysis on the inverter using the energy-saving lamp

Abstract Electric energy savings are influenced by magnitude of reactive power used by electric customers, one of the tools that can minimize reactive power is the inverter, which is an electronic equipment, that can change the direct current of electricity to alternating current, The method used is by measuring along with analysis of calculation each time the inverter is given the burden of energy-saving lamps with varying power to determine the change in the electrical quantities to be analyzed. Inverter efficiency in doing the convert direct current to alternating current during low load (5W) amounted to 94.66%, and the highest load current (203W) amounted to 90.55%.
