What is a pure sine wave inverter?

In a solar system, an inverter is responsible for converting the DC energy stored in batteries into AC power to supply AC consumers.

Inverters transform DC to AC

This conversion is achieved through the collaboration of multiple switches in a closed circuit to produce the AC output. The precision of these switches is crucial in determining the quality of the output waveform, which can be a square wave, sine wave, or modified sine wave.

square wave, sine wave, modified sine wave

While an inverter can produce different waveforms, a pure sine wave output is preferable because many electrical products are designed to work best with a sine wave AC power source.
high-quality and well-designed inverter ensures that the output is purely in the form of a sine wave with minimal conversion losses in the system components.

How do pure sine wave inverters work?

In order to comprehend the functionality of an inverter, we can examine its simplified block diagram. Assuming that there is a battery, four switches, and an AC consumer at the output, we can further delve into its operation.

simplified inverter circuit

This simplified circuit uses a DC source to power an AC consumer, represented by a lamp. By pairing switches, we can generate AC pulses and alternate the current direction through the lamp.
By opening switches two and three, the current direction will be as follows:

current flow direction with switch2 and swith3 on

If switches one and four are opened, the current will flow in the opposite direction through the lamp.

current flow direction with switch1and swith4 on

The lamp in this circuit is actually receiving an alternating current, which it experiences as a square wave. A high-quality inverter operates on a similar principle but includes several functions to improve output quality and conversion efficiency. Switching is performed using electrical switches like FETs and IGBTs, and control pulses are generated by a control circuit. Energy storage elements such as inductors and capacitors aid in filtering and smoothing. The smoother the wave, the higher the quality of the output will be.

Benefits of using pure sine wave inverter

Using a pure sine wave inverter offers many benefits. The quality of the waveform directly affects the efficiency and lifespan of appliances. Waveforms with harmonic distortions and sharp edges can cause electronics to overheat or become damaged. Certain devices, such as computers, are unable to function with non-sine wave energy forms.

Different types of inverters

Inverters can be classified into two types – High-Frequency and Low-Frequency inverters – based on the size and switching speed of transistors.
Low-frequency and High-frequency EPEVER inverters
• High-frequency inverters:

Use multiple smaller transformers and have over twice the number of components.

They are not suitable for long-term exposure to high surge loads like pumps, motors, and some high-torque tools due to decreased capacity.

• Low-frequency inverters

On the other hand, have larger and more robust transistors that can operate cooler.

This enables them to tolerate higher amounts of surge power.
