2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   A solar inverter is a balance of system (BOS) component of a photovoltaic system and can be used for both grid-connected and off-grid (standalone) systems. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays, including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection.

3. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   The energy lost during inversion is for the most part converted into heat. Consequently, for an inverter to output its rated power it must have a power input that exceeds its output. For example, a 5000 W inverter operating at full power at 95% efficiency requires an input of 5,263 W (rated power divided by efficiency).

4. Inverter-based resource - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter-based_resource

   An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations. [1]

5. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of single-phase electric power distribution. It is the alternating current (AC) equivalent of the original Edison Machine Works three-wire direct-current system. Its primary advantage is that, for a given capacity of a distribution system, it saves conductor material over a single-ended ...

6. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

   Minimum wire size for hand-held or portable equipment is usually restricted by the mechanical strength of the conductors. Many areas, such as the US, which use (nominally) 120 V, make use of three-wire, split-phase 240 V systems to supply large appliances. In this system a 240 V supply has a centre-tapped neutral to give two 120 V supplies ...

7. Mains electricity by country - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

   For example, in North America, a unique split-phase system is used to supply to most premises that works by center tapping a 240 volt transformer. This system is able to concurrently provide 240 volts and 120 volts. Consequently, this allows homeowners to wire up both 240 V and 120 V circuits as they wish (as regulated by local building codes).

8. Home wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_wiring

   The following home services are supported by discrete wiring systems: Information and communications Entertainment Energy management Security and safety Digital home health Aged and assisted living Intelligent lighting and power In new home construction, wiring for all electrical services can be installed before the walls are finished.

9. 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 ...
