Technical FAQs 4

What is a 12V DC to 220V AC inverter?

Inverters (sometimes called power inverters) are just a class of electronic devices called power electronics that convert direct current into alternating current. Scientifically speaking, the transformer in an inverter must have a 1:19 turn ratio in order to convert 12V DC to 220V AC.

What are the different types of power inverters?

Most power inverters are designed to convert 12-volt, 24-volt, or 48-volt DC to 120-volt AC. These inverters are commonly used in recreation vehicles and solar power systems. Special inverters can be connected together to produce 220-volts. This process is called stacking.

Can a 110 volt power inverter be dangerous?

Safety Warning: 110 Volts of current can be lethal. Improper use of a power inverter will result in property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Please read and follow carefully the instructions in the Owner's Manual provided with every inverter for important safety considerations and precautions.

How do you use a power inverter?

A very simple way to use an inverter for emergency power (such as during a power outage), is to use a car battery (with the vehicle running), and an extension cord running into the house, where you can then plug in electrical appliances. What size inverter should I buy? We carry many different sizes, and several brands of power inverters.
