Inverter
Almost all the residential area
use AC current. It is not possible to store AC current for use in the future.
So, AC current is needed to convert into DC current and stored it into
batteries, capacitors, etc. When there is AC needed than the stored DC current
converts into AC to run the AC based applications. The device which converts AC
currents into DC currents is known as Inverter.
An Inverter converts DC voltage
into AC voltage. The maximum number of times we see that DC voltage is lower than
the output voltage AC. On the other hand, output voltage AC is equal to the
grid supply voltage. Or it is equal to the 120 Volts, 240 Volts depending on
the country. The output of an inverter may be single-phase or three-phase.
Generally, inverters are rated by the total power capacity. The ranges of the
total power capacity is hundred of a watt to megawatt.
There are some inverters that
have the best surge capacity for starting motors. On the other side, other
inverters have limited surge capacities. To understand better, the designer
needs to mark both the type and size of the inverter is intended to service.
The Inverter is distinguished based on power-dependent efficiency. In the time
of convert DC to AC voltage, the main task of an inverter is to keep a fixed
voltage on the AC side. And convert the input power into output power with
higher power efficiency.
