What is the difference between an inverter and a transformer?

2022-04-02

Inverter refers to the conversion of direct current into alternating current (usually 220V, 50Hz sine wave). The inverter is a combination of inverter bridge, control logic and filter circuit. The inverter is suitable for air conditioners, electric tools, sewing machines, laptop computers, TV sets, washing machines, range hoods, refrigerators, lighting fixtures, etc. Moreover, the penetration rate of automobiles in foreign countries is relatively high. When you go out to work or travel, you can use the inverter to connect the battery to drive the equipment to work continuously.

However, the transformer is a device that uses the standard of electromagnetic induction to convert AC voltage. The main components are the primary coil, the secondary coil and the iron core, the magnetic core. Its functions include: current transformation, voltage transformation, impedance transformation, isolation, voltage regulation, etc. According to the use, it can be divided into: power transformers and special transformers (rectifier transformers, power frequency test transformers, voltage regulators, audio transformers, intermediate frequency transformers, high frequency transformers, impulse transformers, electronic transformers, reactors, transformers, etc.), circuit Symbols often use T as the beginning of a number.
