2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC. [2]

3. Generac - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generac

   In 1998, Generac sold its portable products division to the Beacon group, a private equity firm, who later sold it to Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Upon expiration of a non-compete agreement related to the sale in 2007, Generac re-entered the portable generator market in 2008. [7] In late 2006, Generac was purchased by CCMP Capital of New York ...

4. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   A magnetohydrodynamic generator directly extracts electric power from moving hot gases through a magnetic field, without the use of rotating electromagnetic machinery. MHD generators were originally developed because the output of a plasma MHD generator is a flame, well able to heat the boilers of a steam power plant. The first practical design ...

5. 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 ...

6. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   [8] [9] Using portable generators in garages, or near open windows or air conditioning vents can also result in carbon monoxide poisoning. [10] Additionally, it is important to prevent backfeeding when using a portable engine generator, which can harm utility workers or people in other buildings. Before turning on a diesel- or gasoline-powered ...

7. Emergency power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_power_system

   A backup generator for a large apartment building A backup power fuel cell for telecom applications A portable emergency power generator in a shipping container. An emergency power system is an independent source of electrical power that supports important electrical systems on loss of normal power supply.

8. 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.

9. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   The wide range of load related problems identified are classified into the following types: Wrong selection: Some loads cannot be used with stand-alone PV systems. House wiring: Inadequate or low quality wiring and protection devices can affect the system's response. Low efficiency: Low efficiency loads may increase energy consumption.
