How do inverters convert DC electricity to AC?

An easy-to-understand explanation of how an inverter currents DC (direct current) electricity to AC (alternating current).

6. AC wiring

Only if one of the phases consumes more load than the others, the neutral will start to conduct current. This current is called the “compensating or equalizing current”. When setting up 3

OverviewCircuit descriptionInput and outputBatteriesApplicationsSizeHistorySee also

In one simple inverter circuit, DC power is connected to a transformer through the center tap of the primary winding. A relay switch is rapidly switched back and forth to allow current to flow back to the DC source following two alternate paths through one end of the primary winding and then the other. The alternation of the direction of current in the primary winding of the transformer produces alternating current
