Technical FAQs 4

What is inverter current?

Inverter current is the electric current drawn by an inverter to supply power to connected loads. The current depends on the power output required by the load, the input voltage to the inverter, and the power factor of the load. The inverter draws current from a DC source to produce AC power.

What is a current source type inverter?

Current source type inverters Current source type inverters control the output current. A large-value inductor is placed on the input DC line of the inverter in series. And the inverter acts as a current source. The inverter output needs to have characteristics of a voltage source.

How do voltage source type inverters work?

It is easier to obtain a regulated voltage than a regulated current, and voltage source type inverters can directly adjust the voltage applied to a load by varying the conduction ratio (i.e., the pulse width of a PWM signal).

How does AC inverter power affect DC input voltage?

The AC inverter power, P i required by the load determines how much current the inverter needs to draw from the DC source. This is influenced by the efficiency of the conversion process, represented by the power factor, PF. The DC input voltage, V i provided to the inverter affects the amount of current drawn.
