DC to AC Inverters
Purpose: Converts direct current (DC) from sources like batteries or solar panels into alternating current (AC) for powering standard electrical devices.
Types:
- Modified Sine Wave Inverter: Cost-effective; suitable for basic electronics.
- Pure Sine Wave Inverter: High-quality output; compatible with sensitive equipment (e.g., medical devices, motors).
- Grid-Tie Inverter: Feeds AC power back into the utility grid (used in solar systems).
- Stand-Alone Inverter: Used in off-grid systems with battery storage.
Key Parameters:
| Input Voltage | 12V, 24V, 48V DC |
| Output Voltage | 120V/230V AC |
| Output Frequency | 50Hz or 60Hz |
| Power Rating | 300W to several kW |
| Efficiency | 85%–95% |
Applications:
- Solar power systems
- Backup power (UPS)
- RVs and marine systems
- Portable power stations
Note: Always match inverter specs with load requirements and battery capacity.
