What is Inverter :
The inverter is a device that is used to converts the DC power to AC power. The purpose of
the inverter is typically to take DC power supply by a battery, such as a 12-volt car battery,
and convert it into a 220/110 volt AC power supply operating at 50 Hz. It does not produce any power, the power is supplied by dc sources. Inverters are used in applications such as in UPS (uninterruptible power supplies), to control the speed of ac drives. Grid tie inverter is used to supply power to the distribution system. We also used to convert solar power generated from a solar panel that is dc into the ac power supply.
Classification of Inverter:
Nowadays in market, there are two types of inverter available
(1). Sine Wave Inverter That is also called true sine wave inverter
(2). Modified sine wave inverter(Modified square wave)
These both inverters have different power efficiencies and are suitable for a different kind of application but the main difference between them is the output wave shape of the inverter.
Modified Sine Wave;
A modified sine wave is similar to a square wave but instead has a stepping look so that it relates more like a sine wave in shape. This wave shape can be produced easily by switching between the three values at a set frequency. However, it has many drawbacks like many devices are not suitable to run on a modified wave.
Computer, medical equipment's are not works properly on this inverter they are very sensitive devices. Induction motors become hotter, CFL Lamp life reduces on this inverter, Laser printer, photocopies machine are also not used on these inverters. These inverters are also produced noises and are less efficient then sine wave inverter. But these inverters have fewer prices then sine wave and have not the complicated circuit. These are still used for the devices where efficiency is not a much deal.
Sine wave /true wave inverter;
Pure sine wave inverter is used now a day’s very frequently. It has many advantages over the modified sine wave inverter.
The wave shape of output is a sine wave which has very low harmonic distortion and clean power is produced like a utility.
Motors, Microwaves runs faster and cooler on sine wave.
It reduces noise produce in fans, fluorescent lamp, audio amplifier and TV etc.
Efficiency of these inverters very much then modified sine wave.
These are inverter are costly.
I would suggest to buy one of above inverter by considering all points like eficiencies, cost etc.
(3) Square Wave inverter;
These inverter are very less used and very cheapest inverter. These are used with less sensitive devices such as lightening, heating etc .It produces humming when used it with audio devices.
