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.
