already existing inverter systems in world. For example an
inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current
(DC) to alternating current (AC) the converted AC can be at
any required voltage and frequency with the use of
appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits.
Solid-state inverters have no moving parts and are
used in a wide range of applications, from small switching
power supplies in computers, to large electric utility high-
voltage direct current applications that transport bulk power.
Inverters are commonly used to supply AC power from DC
sources such as solar panels or batteries. The inverter
performs the opposite function of a rectifier.
The major skill or we are learning about this project
is inverter to generates the outputs supply and get the output
voltage. What we get from this is electronic soldering and
wiring, single phase wiring circuits in connection, size cable
use.
