Electronic Inverter: Switching Power Supplies

An electronic inverter converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It has no moving parts and is used in applications ranging from small computer power supplies to large electric utility power transmission. Inverters are commonly used to supply AC power from DC sources like solar panels or batteries. There are two main types - modified sine wave inverters which produce a quasi-square wave output, and pure sine wave inverters which produce a smoother waveform. Inverters perform the opposite function of rectifiers by converting DC to AC. The output power of an inverter can never exceed its input power, though efficiencies can be high with little wasted as heat.

ELECTRONIC

INVERTER
ABSTRACT
An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating
current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the
use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits. Solid-state inverters have
no moving parts and are used in a wide range of applications, from small switching
power

supplies in

computers,

to

large electric

utility high-voltage

direct

current applications that transport bulk power.


Inverters are commonly used to supply AC power from DC sources such as solar
panels or batteries. There are two main types of inverter. The output of a modified sine
wave inverter is similar to a square wave output except that the output goes to zero volts
for a time before switching positive or negative. It is simple and low cost and is
compatible.
Thus it is compatible with all AC electronic devices. The electrical inverter is a highpower electronic oscillator. It is so named because early mechanical AC to DC
converters was made to work in reverse, and thus was "inverted", to convert DC to AC.
The inverter performs the opposite function of a rectifier.
The output power can never exceed the input power, but efficiencies can be high, with a
small proportion of the power dissipated as waste heat.
