What is HC and NC in an Inverter?

Published in Inverter Charging Modes 1 min read

HC and NC in an inverter refer to different charging current settings, specifically High Charging (HC) and Normal Charging (NC). A selector switch is used to choose between these charging modes.

Here's a breakdown:

  • High Charging (HC): This setting is used to charge the battery at a faster rate. It is beneficial when you need to quickly replenish the battery's charge, for example, after a power outage where the battery has been significantly discharged.

  • Normal Charging (NC): This setting charges the battery at a standard rate. It's suitable for regular charging and helps prolong the battery's lifespan compared to high charging. Using normal charging generally reduces stress on the battery.

Feature High Charging (HC) Normal Charging (NC)
Charging Rate Faster Standard
Battery Lifespan Potentially shorter Potentially longer
Use Case Quick Recharge Regular Charging

In summary, the HC/NC switch on an inverter allows you to select the charging current based on your needs, balancing charging speed with battery health.
