Low-frequency inverters have a few advantages compared to higher frequency inverters; namely their peak power capacity and their reliability. Low-frequency power inverters can operate at a peak power level of up to 300% of their nominal power level for several seconds, while high-frequency inverters can operate at 200% of nominal power for a fraction of a second. Low frequency inverters operate using transformers (as opposed to electronic components such as MOSFETs for high frequency inverters). This results in a stronger, sturdier inverter which is less prone to damage.
