  2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    Sine wave. A power inverter device that produces a multiple step sinusoidal AC waveform is referred to as a sine wave inverter. To more clearly distinguish the inverters with outputs of much less distortion than the modified sine wave (three-step) inverter designs, the manufacturers often use the phrase pure sine wave inverter.

  3. Harmonics (electrical power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonics_(electrical_power)

    Because this is a deviation from a pure sine wave, the deviation is in the form of a periodic function, and by definition, the voltage distortion contains harmonics. When a sinusoidal voltage is applied to a linear time-invariant load, such as a heating element, the current through it is also sinusoidal. In non-linear and/or time-variant loads ...

  4. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

    Inverters that target commercial applications are available for 208, 240, 277, 400, 480 or 600 VAC and may also produce three phase power. Peak efficiency: The peak efficiency represents the highest efficiency that the inverter can achieve. Most grid-tie inverters on the market as of July 2009 have peak efficiencies of over 94%, some as high as ...

  5. Resonant inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_inverter

    This type of inverter produces an approximately sinusoidal waveform at a high output frequency, ranging from 20 kHz to 100 MHz, and is commonly used in relatively fixed output applications, for example, induction heating, sonar transmitters, fluorescent lighting, or ultrasonic generators. Due to the high switching frequency, the size of the ...

  6. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    A steam turbine used to provide electric power. An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. An example of a power system is the electrical grid that provides power to homes and industries within an extended area.

  7. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    A sine wave, over one cycle (360°). The dashed line represents the root mean square (RMS) value at (about 0.707). Below an AC waveform (with no DC component) is assumed. The RMS voltage is the square root of the mean over one cycle of the square of the instantaneous voltage.

  8. Solar inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_inverter

    Internal view of a solar inverter. Note the many large capacitors (blue cylinders), used to buffer the double line frequency ripple arising due to single-phase ac system.. A solar inverter or photovoltaic (PV) inverter is a type of power inverter which converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be ...

  9. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    In electrical engineering, the power factor of an AC power system is defined as the ratio of the real power absorbed by the load to the apparent power flowing in the circuit. . Real power is the average of the instantaneous product of voltage and current and represents the capacity of the electricity for performing
