Power Inverters

Power Inverters – How They Work and Their Applications

The power inverter is a device that converts the direct current into alternating current. Most often, an inverter is used to transform the voltage from a car battery with a size of 12VDC or 24VDC to 220VAC, suitable for powering a variety of devices.

The basic principle of operation is the alternative switching (by means of powerful transistors or thyristors) of constant voltage to the windings of a transformer, which supplies the output with the alternating voltage of the required size.

The power inverter is a combined device with several built-in protections that protect the devices connected to it from high voltage, overload, and short circuit. Some of the power inverters available have a built-in charger. They can be used to recharge a variety of different types of rechargeable batteries and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for:

• local heating
• fireplaces with water jackets
• computers/servers

Also, for any other devices, where loss of power would lead to severe accidents or data loss.

Car Inverters and RV Inverters

The power inverter is widely used as a power supply for a car, truck, bus, RV, camper or yacht, for a number of electrical devices operating at 220 V such as:

• Lighting
• Laptops
• TVs
• DVD players
• Home appliances
• Chargers
