(II) According to the Source of the Inverter The output waveform is not exactly sine wave but it resembles the shape of a sine wave. The output of such inverter is the some of two square waves. The output of this inverter is neither pure sine wave nor the square wave. The construction of this type of inverter is complex than simple square wave inverter but easier compared to the pure sine wave inverter. This type of inverters is more expensive but widely used in residential and commercial applications. So, this is the perfect output and gives guarantee that equipment will work properly. This is the major advantage of this inverter because all the appliances we are using, are designed for the sine wave. The output waveform of the voltage is a sine wave and it gives us a very similar output to the utility supply. It can be used in simple tools with a universal motor. The cost of this inverter is very low but the application is very rare. If we supply square wave to sine wave based appliance, it may get damaged or losses are very high. This type of inverter is least used among all other types of inverter because all appliances are designed for sine wave supply. The output waveform of the voltage for this inverter is a square wave. You can check a sample 12v DC to 220v AC Inverter Circuit design here.Īccording to the output characteristic of an inverter, there can be three different types of inverters. Now we will discuss all of them one by one. Modified sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (MSPWM).Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM).(IV) According to different PWM Technique (I) According to the Output Characteristic Below is the complete classification of the inverter circuits: Inverter can be classified into many types based on output, source, type of load etc. This variation can be in the magnitude of voltage, number of phases, frequency or phase difference. The inverter is used to convert DC to variable AC. So the device which converts DC into AC is called Inverter. And now whenever AC is needed, DC is again converted into AC to run the AC based appliances. So AC is converted into DC and then DC is stored in batteries and ultra-capacitors. But the biggest issue with AC is that it cannot be stored for future use. Alternating Current (AC) power supply is used for almost all the residential, commercial and industrial needs.
