Technical FAQs 4

What is inverter current?

Inverter current is the electric current drawn by an inverter to supply power to connected loads. The current depends on the power output required by the load, the input voltage to the inverter, and the power factor of the load. The inverter draws current from a DC source to produce AC power.

What voltage does an inverter use?

Most residential and small commercial inverters use one of the following DC input voltages: As voltage increases, the current required for the same power decreases, making high-voltage systems more efficient for high-power applications. While calculating inverter current is straightforward, other factors may affect the actual current draw:

What is a voltage source inverter?

If the input dc is a voltage source, the inverter is called a voltage source inverter (VSI). One can similarly think of a current source inverter (CSI), where the input to the circuit is a current source. The VSI circuit has direct control over ‘output (ac) voltage’ whereas the CSI directly controls ‘output (ac) current’.

How does AC inverter power affect DC input voltage?

The AC inverter power, P i required by the load determines how much current the inverter needs to draw from the DC source. This is influenced by the efficiency of the conversion process, represented by the power factor, PF. The DC input voltage, V i provided to the inverter affects the amount of current drawn.
