What kind of current do inverters primarily work with?

Inverters primarily work with direct current (DC) because their primary function is to convert DC into alternating current (AC). This conversion is essential in many applications, such as solar power systems, where solar panels generate DC electricity. The inverter then transforms this DC electricity into AC, which is commonly used for household appliances and can be fed back into the electrical grid.

Inverters can be critical components in systems that require a transition from the direct current provided by batteries or solar arrays to the alternating current needed for powering standard electrical devices. This ability to convert and control the type of current makes inverters a vital part of many electrical and renewable energy systems.

Low-voltage current and high-frequency current are not direct considerations regarding the fundamental operation of what inverters are designed to manage; they focus primarily on the conversion of DC to AC.
