How Inverters Work – Working principle rectifier

How Inverters Work – Working principle rectifier

How inverters work. In this video we take a look at how an inverter works to convert direct current (DC) into Alternating current (AC). Inverters are used increasingly throughout industry as well as building services HVAC systems to achieve precise control of AC induction motors connected to AHU fans, compressors pumps etc. Inverters are also used within photovoltaic arrays to provide AC power for use in homes and buildings. In this video we start at the basics to understand the difference between AC and DC power and then look at a simplified example before moving onto an advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) example to see how the load experiences and AC supply from a DC source by converting the direct current into a sine wave.

    Informative, significant topic and Useful, however I don’t think he explains what the abbreviation IGBT stands for?

  2. FIX DIY on February 19, 2020 at 5:29 am

    nice work 👍

  3. Malek on February 19, 2020 at 5:29 am

    hi i have a problem with the output of my EPEVER UPOWER inverter/charger 230v 50Hz

    i correctly connected my inverter to ground but when i test with a multimeter i have 115 volts between neutral and ground also 115 volts between live and ground !!

    Is it dangerous ?

    what is the problem and what is the solution ?

    And what about " ground neutral bount " !?

    Thanks for your help

  4. Brahim abdelsadek on February 19, 2020 at 5:30 am

    Genius.thanks so much.keep goin

  5. Trilochan Pagal on February 19, 2020 at 5:33 am

    Great explanation

  6. Paul Cliff on February 19, 2020 at 5:34 am

    Excellent work worth a coffee.

  7. Andrew White on February 19, 2020 at 5:34 am

    Nice video
    A couple of minor things.
    It’s important that one set of switches open before the others close. If closed before open (as narrated) then a short circuit will result and the IGBTs will disintentegrate. It’s called shoot-through.
    In the 3 phase animation, the active Mosfets should swap to the other pair for the negative half cycle. 🙂

  8. Sonny Song on February 19, 2020 at 5:40 am

    You are actually amazing at explaining this stuff. Keep up the good work!

  9. Rishi on February 19, 2020 at 5:41 am

    Classic and simple.

  10. Carl Jeremy on February 19, 2020 at 5:41 am

    Do you cover boat electrics?

  11. Daniah. Poll on February 19, 2020 at 5:42 am

    Love this video! Thank you

  12. Ridwanur Rahman on February 19, 2020 at 5:43 am

    Is it possible to make a vfd whre you can separately control both frequency and voltage… I mean can we randomly control the frequency and power supply at a time??

  13. yogi Halim on February 19, 2020 at 5:45 am

    I wonder how DC motor compressor saved energy compared to conventional AC motor for compressors (air con, freezers)

  14. Mathew Ostovich on February 19, 2020 at 5:48 am

    With electric motors the ac courent, yes, gets peshed by the peak valley combination so indede alternating the frequency and intensity does indeed change the speed. Alternators are yes 3 phase. 4 phase was experimented with but they have been found to b ineficiant.

  15. Rick Feith on February 19, 2020 at 5:50 am

    Man, this was awesome man…very well done. This whole series is fascinating.

  16. Gaming Hunter on February 19, 2020 at 5:51 am

    Sir please make a video on transistor

  17. ANAZET Solar on February 19, 2020 at 5:51 am

    excellent video, great how you explain the terms. Many Thanks

  18. J E on February 19, 2020 at 5:52 am

    I learned nothing but feel much smarter

  19. Rel Kolaj on February 19, 2020 at 5:54 am

    Thanks for making my life more beautiful and meanfull!
    God bless you

  20. Michael Davis on February 19, 2020 at 5:54 am

    A light bulb for an example of an AC load? Why not something that WILL NOT work on DC?

    Very nice explanation. Easy to understand with animations. Thanks a lot for making a video on this topic.

  26. MikeLifeCrisis on February 19, 2020 at 5:57 am

    Are inductors ever used to smoothen the “sharpness” of a square wave?

  27. Ptah Asar on February 19, 2020 at 5:57 am

    It is a Shame that Most USA public school systems do NOT actually Cover this at all …. Time to change the whole superstructure

    What book do you recommend to learn about electricity, grounding, why the outlet has a 0V if the current is alternating?

  30. PsyMongazoid on February 19, 2020 at 5:59 am

    Nice. Thanks.

  31. Karl Beerman on February 19, 2020 at 6:00 am

    Electrical workers learn about full and half rectifiers, whereas plumbers learn about full and half rectumfires.

  32. Matty Jackson on February 19, 2020 at 6:00 am

    I am doing this at university and this video has helped me understand hours of my lectures. Thank you!

  33. Michael Vieira on February 19, 2020 at 6:00 am

    Learning a lot from your videos, Paul !

  34. Hiren Patel on February 19, 2020 at 6:03 am

    Which is the other vid that covers the igbt and mosfets etc? thanks.

  35. Lucas Tivana on February 19, 2020 at 6:07 am

    Please do tutorials on those IGBT, DIODES and MOSFETS

  36. arman ar on February 19, 2020 at 6:07 am

    You are awesome
    Thank you so much

  37. sumit datta on February 19, 2020 at 6:08 am

    can a igbt make ac current to dc current ?

  38. Tom Garbo on February 19, 2020 at 6:08 am

    IGBT’S very good in VFD’S until they short. Had a 6 pak IGBT short out on a 125 HP drive after it ramped over 10 to 15% of full speed. Luckily I had cover closed on drive. Thought I was back in Viet Nam due to extra loud noise like a cannon going off followed by smoke. Found Danfoss to be the best drives along with great tech support and quick replacementn parts. Worked on. ( mostly PM’s ) on hundreds of old Danfoss VLT6000’S. Extremely easy to work on. Their replacement Danfoss FC100 & FC200 are good but a lit harder to work on. ABB are the worse. Took me 3 weeks 3 emails then a phone call to have them give me a simple answer on the DC Buss. Gave me the 5th degree. Worked on some Allen Bradley drives back in the 1980’s and they were good.

  39. Kruemmelbande The Cat on February 19, 2020 at 6:11 am

    Most things in your home dont realy care if they get ac or dc.. so you dont need an Inverter to power everything in your home…. If your dc source is at the right dc level

  40. Chris Bishop on February 19, 2020 at 6:11 am

    I just fell in love

  41. Okaro X on February 19, 2020 at 6:11 am

    The current reverses its direction 100 or 120 times a second.

  42. William on February 19, 2020 at 6:14 am

    Very interesting.Thanks.

  43. Mathew Ostovich on February 19, 2020 at 6:14 am

    Oscilloscopes are definitely usefull. Used them for auto tech.

  44. Kenneth Garcia on February 19, 2020 at 6:16 am

    very informative…thank you

  45. The Hash Slinging Slasher on February 19, 2020 at 6:17 am

    Why not use an inductor?

  46. nottingtohide on February 19, 2020 at 6:18 am

    Good presentation. Now I really know how a H-Bridge really works. Building a square wave inverter is simple, but still trying to figure out the best pure sine wave inverter design from various schematics I’ve researched, including ones for varying frequency/voltage motor control, single or 3ph.

  47. rick wallace on February 19, 2020 at 6:19 am

    ASSOON as one of my students said there was 12o V coming out of the household outlet–they were dismissed

  50. Ken Heart on February 19, 2020 at 6:23 am

    You omitted a rather fundamental fact when explaining DC, namely that it alays flows from positive to negative.
