Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between a converter and an inverter?

Since different machines have different frequency and voltage requirements, a circuit known as a converter is used to convert AC current from the power grid to a DC current, and then an inverter is used to convert the DC current to an AC current with the frequency and voltage required by the machinery being driven.

How to choose an inverter voltmeter and current meter?

Since the waveform’s frequency varies on the secondary side of the inverter, it’s necessary to take the fundamental wave’s frequency range into account when choosing a voltmeter and current meter. Inverters can be used to control motor speed in a fine-grained manner by converting DC to AC.

Do you need a volt meter for an inverter?

Consequently, it's necessary to use a true RMS voltmeter (digital multimeter) and current meter (clamp meter). On the secondary side of an inverter, the voltage and current’s fundamental wave includes harmonic components.

What is the difference between voltage monitoring & current sensing?

Due to its bipolar input range, current sensing in both directions is possible. In contrast, voltage monitoring is done via high ohmic voltage dividers to reduce power losses. The measurement signal is only given by the resistance ratio and can be adapted to voltage levels, which can be measured more easily.
