What is an inverter, what does it do and how does it work?

Many different devices are used to save energy. In this sense, devices that regulate the frequency setting in circuits in order to save energy are called inverters. Inverters are all devices that convert alternating current to direct current and direct current to alternating current and have a 3-phase operating system and adjust the voltage and frequencies properly. In simpler terms, inverters convert 12V, 24V and 48V direct current battery voltage into 230V alternating current 50 Hz voltage.

How does an inverter work?

Inverter is also a device used to obtain AC voltage from DC voltage. For example, both inverters and converters are used in uninterruptible UPS sources. First, the AC voltage first comes to the converter and is converted to DC, then the DC signal is converted to AC in the inverter. In this way, 220 volt energy can be obtained from 12 and 24 volt batteries in a place where 220 volt electricity is not available.

Another part you need to know is that inverters do not generate electricity. They draw all the energy they use from the batteries and convert 12 volt direct current to 220 v alternating current. Therefore, the cable on the 12 volt side can be connected close to the battery and this cable can be thick. However, both long and thin cables should be used in the distant part, the 220 volt part.

What Does an Inverter Do?

In general, the inverter feature is that it can adjust the speed between 0.5 and 2000 Hz. In other words, the inverter first straightens the voltages in the networks, filters and cleans all voltage fluctuations, peaks and disturbing electrical fluctuations occurring in the network in capacitors and coils, which are intermediate circuit elements.

This increases energy savings in the devices. Since they have no inrush current, they do not damage the grid in any way and do not work with on/off system. They operate at minimum and maximum intervals. For this reason, they are frequently used.
