Power Inverters

Current inverter (converter)

DC to AC inverters

A power inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current DC into alternating current AC. This is essential in many areas of electrical engineering where alternating current is required to operate various devices. Most often, the inverter is used as a transformer, converting the voltage from a 12 VDC or 24 VDC car battery into 230 VAC, suitable for powering a variety of household network devices. Some specialized current inverters are also used as part of building solar systems, where the electricity generated by solar panels can reach 1000 VDC and must be brought down to 230 VAC to be used for common electrical appliances.

Application of inverters

Current inverters are used in a wide range of applications. In the electrical industry, they are used to convert direct current from batteries or solar panels into alternating current that can be used to power electrical appliances and systems. They are also used in industry to control electric motors and other devices.

Te have many advantages over other current conversion methods. They provide greater flexibility and efficiency in power systems. They can adjust the frequency and voltage of the output current, making them suitable for a variety of applications. In addition, they are more efficient than other current conversion methods, resulting in lower energy losses.

How it works

The main principle of operation is the alternating commutation (by means of powerful transistors or thyristors) of a constant voltage to the windings of a transformer, which supplies the output with an alternating voltage of the required magnitude. The voltage inverter is a combination device with a number of built-in protections that protect the appliances connected to it from high voltage, overload and short circuit. Some of the offered inverters have a charger. They can be used as chargers for different types of batteries and as UPS devices for:

• local steam
• fireplaces with water jackets
• computers

Suddenly turning off the listed devices would result in severe accidents or data loss.

Inverters with 12 VDC or 24 VDC are widely used to power various electrical devices operating at 230 VAC when traveling, on excursions or in extreme conditions and lack of power supply through a battery for a car, truck, bus, caravan, camper or yacht.

They are suitable as a backup or main power supply outdoors or on the go for:

• lighting fixtures
• laptops
• televisions
• phone
• stoves, ovens
• chargers
