Applications of Inverter
There are various applications of inverter. Some of them are as follows:
- Inverters provide power supply when the grid power is not available.
- It provides backup during adverse weather conditions.
- It is widely used in vehicles, boats etc.
- They are used in telecommunications where DC power is extracted from solar panels and is converted to AC power
Introduction to Inverters
Current is defined as the flow of electrons. It is denoted by I and the SI unit of current is Ampere. There are mainly two types of currents: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). In general AC is used to travel over long distances and users require DC.
So, there are many devices that are used to convert incoming Alternating current to Direct Current. Examples include SMPS, Power Adapters, Chargers etc. But we also need devices that convert Direct Current to Alternating Current.
