Question:

What is the difference between transformers and inverters?

Do not all change the pressure? What is the difference?

Answer:

The transformer can change the voltage Inverter generally refers to the conversion from DC to AC.
Transformer is the same frequency of a voltage into another level of voltage, such as the (frequency 50hz) 10kv into (power frequency 50hz) 400v. The inverter can convert DC into any frequency (there are many types of inverter, the output voltage frequency range is different) AC but the voltage level will not change.
The inverter is a DC power supply into AC power, and the transformer is a kind of electromagnetic induction principle to achieve the electrical conversion of electrical equipment, it can be a voltage, current AC power into the same frequency of another voltage, current Of AC power. Simply put, the inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage (12 or 24 volts) of DC into 220 volts. Because we are usually 220 volts AC rectifier into DC to use, and the role of the inverter in contrast, hence the name. We are in a "mobile" era, mobile office, mobile communications, mobile leisure and entertainment. In the mobile state, people not only need to be supplied by the battery or battery low-voltage direct current, but also need our daily environment indispensable 220 volts AC, the inverter can meet our needs. Transformer is a kind of application of electromagnetic induction principle to achieve electrical energy conversion equipment, it can put a voltage, current AC power into the same frequency of another voltage, current AC power. The role of the transformer is to change the voltage. Can be issued by the power station to rise to high voltage, in order to reduce the loss in the transmission, to facilitate long-distance transmission of electricity, you can also place the electricity, the high voltage will be reduced to the voltage, to the user. Therefore, the transformer in the grid is in a very important position, is to ensure safe, reliable, economic operation and people's production and life of the key equipment.
