Inverters

An inverter is an electrical or electro-mechanical device that converts direct current(DC)to alternating current(AC);the resulting AC can be at any required voltage & frequency with the use of appropriate transformers,switching, & control circuits.static inverters have no moving parts & are used in a wide range of applications,from small switching power supplies in computers,to large electric utility high-voltage direct current applications that transport bulk power. Inverters are commonly used to supply AC power from DC sources such as solar panels or batteries.The electrical inverter is a high-power electronic oscillator. It is so named because early mechanical AC to DC converters were made to work in reverse, and thus were "inverted", to convert DC to AC. The inverter performs the opposite function of a rectifier.
