Inverter
-
Inverter change direct current [DC] to alternating current[ AC] at the desired output voltage and frequency . some industrial applications of inverters are for induction heating, standby aircraft power supply etc.
-
Appliances that need DC but have to take power from AC outlets need an extra piece of equipment called a rectifier, typically built from electronic components called diodes, to convert from AC to DC.
- The basic circuits include an oscillator, control circuit, drive circuit for the power devices, switching devices, and a transformer.
-
This process takes place by using some intricate electronic circuitry that controls six separate power devices.
-
They switch on and off to produce a simulated three-phase AC voltage.
-
This switching process is also called inverting DC bus voltage and current into the AC waveforms that are applied to the motor.
-
This led to the name “inverter”. For the rest of this discussion, the term “inverter” will be used in place of adjustable speed drive.

Inverters components
Ac to DC converter
• Rectifier surge protection device[ SPD], protects against spike and transients.
• Battery stored energy device protects against interruptions.
• Inverters DC to AC
• Waveform synthesis, protection against DC offset and inter-harmonics
• Filter, protection against harmonics, notating and noise
• Voltage regulator protection against sage, surges, and fluctuations.
