I. INTRODUCTION
A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current
(AC).[1]
The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling, are dependent on the design of the specific device or circuitry.
A power inverter can be entirely electronic or may be a combination of mechanical effects (such as a rotary apparatus) and electronic circuitry. Static inverters do not use moving parts in the conversion process.
Typical applications for power inverters include:
Portable consumer devices that allow the user to connect a battery, or set of batteries, to the device to produce AC power to run various electrical items such as lights, televisions, kitchen appliances, and power tools.
and solar cells. The inverter does not produce any power, the power is provided by the DC source. The inverter translates the form of the power from direct current to an alternating current waveform. The level of the needed input voltage depends entirely on the design and purpose of the inverter.
In many smaller consumer and commercial inverters a 12V
DC input is popular because of the wide availability of powerful rechargeable 12V lead acid batteries which can be used as the DC power source.
Output waveform: An inverter can produce square wave, modified sine wave, pulsed sine wave, or sine wave depending on circuit design.
The two dominant commercialized waveform types of inverters as of 2007 are
