What is an AC/DC Power Inverter?
An AC/DC power inverter is a device used to convert AC, or alternating currency power, to DC, or direct currency power. These types of devices are commonly used to convert energy from a car battery to allow electronic devices to be powered. In general, there are two types of energy: alternating currency and direct currency. Alternating currency flows between the negative and positive electrical poles, and direct currency flows from the positive to the negative electrical pole with no break. Direct current is naturally occurring and is re-created in batteries. Alternating current is artificially generated and is used in the public utility system. An AC/DC power inverter is used to allow AC-powered devices to work from a dc power source. A common example of this is a car battery. The battery operates on a DC current, but people want to plug in devices such as music players, seat warmers and satellite radios, all of which operate on AC power. The AC/DC power inverter was invented to addre
