An inverter is a power electronic device that converts DC to AC. It consists of an inverter bridge, control logic, and filter circuits. The converts DC power into AC power of the required frequency and voltage according to certain rules through the switching action of power semiconductor devices.
Square wave: The output waveform is a square wave, with a simple structure and low cost, but high harmonic content.
Sine wave: The output is a pure sine wave, suitable for occasions with high requirements for power quality, but the cost is high.
Modified sine wave: The output is close to a sine wave, and the performance and cost are between square wave and sine wave.
Multilevel inverter: Improve the output waveform quality by increasing the number of voltage levels.
In addition, it can also be classified according to the number of phases, power range, control method, etc.
| Type | Output Waveform | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square Wave Inverter | Square wave | Simple structure, low cost | High harmonic content, only suitable for resistive loads |
| Sine Wave Inverter | Sine wave | High output quality, wide applicability | High cost, complex circuitry |
| Modified Sine Wave Inverter | Quasi-sine wave | Good cost performance | Lower harmonic content than square wave, but still some distortion |
| Multilevel Inverter | Close to sine wave | High output quality | Complex control, high cost |
Choosing the right inverter is crucial to ensure the reliable operation and use of the system. Its type and parameters need to match the actual load and use environment. Improper selection may lead to output waveform distortion, equipment damage, low efficiency and other problems.
Therefore, when choosing, you should fully understand the load situation and specific needs, comprehensively consider its electrical parameters, environmental adaptability, reliability, cost and other factors, and choose the best product type and model specifications to give full play to the best performance of the inverter and meet the use requirements. If necessary, you can consult professionals or factory engineers to avoid selection errors.
