Technical FAQs 4

Should I use a converter or an inverter?

The decision hinges on your specific power conversion needs: inverters are typically used for transforming DC to AC and back to DC, often for specialized applications. On the other hand, converters are fundamental in directly converting AC to a usable DC form.

Does an AC to DC inverter exist?

An AC to DC inverter is a bit of a misnomer, as traditional inverters actually convert DC power (like the kind you'd get from a battery or solar panel) into AC power, which is the standard type of power used in most commercial and industrial settings. In saying that, an AC to DC inverter technically doesn’t exist. What is an AC to DC Converter?

Why do you need a DC to AC converter?

Many control systems and power modules require a reliable DC power source and therefore use AC to DC converters to convert AC to DC. DC to AC inverters are used as frequency converters in wind power and water pump drives to optimize performance by regulating the speed at which the motor runs.

Why should you choose a DC to AC inverter?

High flexibility for mobile applications: DC to AC inverters can be used in many portable and mobile power applications, increasing the range of devices that can be used. Relatively low conversion efficiency: the DC to AC conversion process can result in more energy loss than in AC to DC inverters, especially at higher loads.
