Question

What are the types of Inverter?

Answer 1

1. A device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current is known as an inverter (AC).
2. On the basis of output waveform the types of Inverter are:
   2.1 Square wave inverter: One form of inverter that converts solar DC power to AC power is the square wave inverter.
   2.2 Modified sine wave inverter: This sort of inverter is more difficult to build than a simple square wave inverter but simpler than a pure sine wave inverter.
   2.3 Sine wave inverter: Sine waves are the voltage's output waveform, and they closely resemble the output of a utility supply.
3. On the basis of type of load the types of Inverter are:
   3.1 Single-phase inverter: Power used for residential and commercial loads is single phase.
   3.1.1 Half-bridge inverter: Two thyristors, two diodes, and two capacitors make up this sort of inverter.
   3.1.2 Full-bridge inverter: Four thyristors and four diodes are utilized in this kind of inverter.
   3.2 Three-phase inverter
   3.2.1 $120$-degree mode of conduction inverter: Only two thyristors are conducting this operation at once. Neither the positive terminal nor the negative terminal is connected to one of the thyristor's phases.
   3.2.2 $180$-degree mode of conduction inverter: Thyristor conduction time is $180$ degrees in this mode of operation. Three thyristors, one from each phase, are operating in the conduction mode at any given moment.
