 INVERTERS An inverter is a power electronic device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and “frequency” with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits.        Inverters are usually used to supply AC power from DC sources such as solar panels or batteries. It will be useful for emergency electric source   HOW INVERTERS WORK DC power, from a hybrid battery for example, is fed to the primary winding in a transformer within the inverter housing. Through an electronic switch (generally a set of semiconductor transistors), the direction of the flow of current is continuously and regular broken (the electrical charge travels into the primary winding, then abruptly reverses and flows back out).          Output Signal According to output voltage form they could be rectangle, trapezoid or sine shaped. The most expensive, yet at the same time the best quality inverters, output voltage in s
