Study Notes
Inverter Functions
- The primary function of an inverter is to convert DC (Direct Current) power into AC (Alternating Current) power.
Inverter Conversion
- An inverter converts DC power into AC power.
Renewable Energy Applications
- A common application of inverters in renewable energy systems is to convert the DC power generated by solar panels or wind turbines into AC power, which can then be fed into the electrical grid or used to power electrical devices.
