What Is An Inverter?

Equipment that converts alternating current into direct current is called a rectifier, and equipment that converts direct current into alternating current is called an inverter. The power supply from your local electricity supplier to your household is in the form of an alternating current. Alternating current (AC), is the electric current where the flow of electric charge reverses direction in a frequency of 50-60 times in a second. In Direct current (DC), the flow of electric charge is in one direction only.
