2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   Inverter designed to provide 115 V AC from the 12 V DC source provided in an automobile. The unit shown provides up to 1.2 amperes of alternating current, or enough to power two 60 W light bulbs. An inverter converts the DC electricity from sources such as batteries or fuel cells to AC electricity. The electricity can be at any required voltage ...

3. Power electronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

   In general, inverters are utilized in applications requiring direct conversion of electrical energy from DC to AC or indirect conversion from AC to AC. DC to AC conversion is useful for many fields, including power conditioning, harmonic compensation, motor drives, renewable energy grid integration, and spacecraft solar power systems.

4. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   A power converter is an electrical device for converting electrical energy between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). It can also change the voltage or frequency of the current. Power Converters can include simpler tools such as transformer or more complex like a resonant converter .

5. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

   1909 500 kW Westinghouse rotary converter. A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter.. Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting.

6. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   In cases when the power source is direct current, (like an automobile storage battery), an inverter and step-up transformer may be used to convert it to AC power. Portable AC power may be provided by an alternator powered by a diesel or gasoline engine (for example, at a construction site, in an automobile or boat, or backup power generation ...

7. Soft-switching three-level inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-switching_three-level...

   A soft-switching three-level inverter (S3L inverter) is a high-efficiency power electronic inverter intended, in particular, for use with three-phase drives, as a grid-tie inverter for photovoltaic installations or wind turbines and in power supplies. [1] The topology was developed in 2009 at HTWG Konstanz (Constance University of Applied ...
