One end of the current sampling resistor R1 is connected to the power plug, one end of the current sampling resistor R2 is connected to the transistor Q2 and the transistor Q3 respectively, and the other end of the current sampling resistor R2 is grounded.
[0007] The filtering and voltage regulation circuit includes a filter capacitor C1, a filter capacitor C2, a voltage regulator R3, and a voltage regulator R4. The filter capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in parallel and are respectively connected to the transistor Q1 and the transistor Q3.

[0010] This invention relates to a dual-voltage inverter. Inductors L1 and L2 exhibit high resistance to AC points, providing an impediment effect and facilitating the distribution and use of electrical energy. Transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are all Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), a fully controllable voltage-driven power semiconductor device. In operation, the circuit supports two AC power inputs: AC110V and AC220V. After rectification by the rectifier bridge, the inverter outputs a 240V power supply. The generator's neutral line becomes the power supply's neutral line, cleverly forming two 120V phase voltages and one 240V line voltage. This significantly reduces the complexity of the inverter structure and its circuitry, solving the problems of complex motor structure and electronic circuitry, high cost, large size, and heavy weight inherent in existing dual-voltage inverters.
