Introduction

An inverter is an electrical device which converts DC voltage, almost always from batteries, into standard household AC voltage so that it is able to be used by common appliances. In short, an inverter converts direct current into alternating current.

Direct current is used in many of the small electrical equipment such as solar power systems, since solar cells is only able to produce DC.

They are also used in places where a small amount of voltage is to be used or produced such as power batteries which produce only DC. Other than these, fuel cells and other power sources also produce DC.

Why to use an Inverter?

But then the question which arises here is that why is there a need to covert direct Current to an alternating Current? The answer to this question is the simplest one.

We all know that the main electricity supplied to our homes from the power stations is Alternating current at 220/230 Volts. That’s one main reason that the electrical equipment which require high voltages and currents are manufactured such that they work on AC since it is supplied to our homes.

Other than this, AC power is widely used and since most of the appliances require a relatively higher amount of power than DC can supply, since DC power is designed to work on low voltages. So due to the reason that the power produced by DC producing devices has to be made available to our regular appliances, we need inverters nowadays.
