2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   Waveform produced by a cigarette lighter 12 volt DC to 120 V AC 60 Hz inverter. The modified sine wave is the sum of two square waves, one of which is delayed one-quarter of the period with respect to the other. The result is a repeated voltage step sequence of zero, peak positive, zero, peak negative, and again zero.

3. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

   The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters, due to the conversion from DC to AC rather than the voltage change. The output frequency and waveform of an inverter may not accurately replicate that supplied by mains electricity ...

4. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   In electrical engineering, power conversion is the process of converting electric energy from one form to another.. A power converter is an electrical device for converting electrical energy between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).

5. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   For smaller inverters for residential use, the output voltage is usually 240 VAC. 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 ...

6. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   Single-pole circuit breakers feed 120 V circuits from one of the 120 V buses within the panel, or two-pole circuit breakers feed 240-volt circuits from both buses. 120 V circuits are the most common, and used to power NEMA 1 and NEMA 5 outlets, and most residential and light commercial direct-wired lighting circuits.

7. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   The metering signal is used by a closed-loop controller that regulates the high voltage by controlling inverter input power, and it may also be conveyed out of the power supply to allow external circuitry to monitor the high-voltage output.
