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.
