Technical FAQs 4

Is an inverter a generator or a converter?

An inverter is a static device that converts one form of electrical power into another but cannot generate electrical power. This makes it a converter, not a generator. It can be used as a standalone device such as solar power or back power for home appliances.

Why do we need inverters?

Flexibility in Power Usage: Inverters allow us to take DC power sources like batteries and turn them into usable AC power, making energy management more flexible. Renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind, are heavily dependent on inverters to convert the generated DC power to AC.

What is a power inverter?

The term "inverter" essentially refers to a circuit that converts the current from DC to AC (power inverter circuit), but it can also refer to a power inverter device used in home appliances, such as air conditioners and washing machines. Home appliances are not the only examples that benefit from inverter devices.

What is a DC inverter & how does it work?

An inverter is an electronic device that converts DC power (from batteries, solar panels, or other DC sources) into AC power, which is what most household appliances and electrical grids use. In simple terms, it’s like a translator between power types, making sure energy stored in one form can be used in another. Why DC Needs to Become AC:
