6995 results about "Power inverter" patented technology

A power inverter, or inverter, is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling depend on the design of the specific device or circuitry. The inverter does not produce any power; the power is provided by the DC source.

High current welding power supply

In a welding power supply for creating welding current in a succession of current pulses with a maximum current level and a trailing off state which current pulses passing through a series circuit including an inductor and electrode in welding relationship with a workpiece wherein the power supply has (a) an inverter stage with an input to be connected to a power source, a first terminal at a first electrical polarity when the inverter is on, a second terminal at a second electrical polarity when the inverter is on, and a control to generate an off signal to turn the inverter off and remove current from the terminals to shift said current pulse toward an off state; and, (b) a power switching stage including a transistor based switch having a conduction condition passing current from the first terminal upon creation of a first logic signal and a non-conduction condition blocking current upon creation of a second logic signal, the improvement comprising: a sensor for measuring the instantaneous value of the welding current, a comparator for producing a low current signal when the instantaneous current is at a selected value substantially below the maximum current level and a circuit or program for creating the second logic signal upon production of a low current signal after generation of an off signal whereby the transistor based switch is switched from the conduction condition to the non-conduction condition when the welding current is generally at the selected value.

Inverter for photovoltaic systems

The invention concerns an inverter for solar panels which includes at least two inverter inputs to each of which a group of solar panels can be connected, and an inverter output to which a network can be connected. The inverter includes an inverter element with a direct voltage input and an alternating voltage output which converts the direct voltage which is connected to its direct voltage input into alternating voltage and sends it to the inverter output, an electronic control system which monitors the direct voltage which is connected to the direct voltage input of the inverter element and the network voltage and/or the network frequency of the network which is connected to the inverter output, and a switching system which is electrically arrayed between one of the at least two inverter inputs and the direct voltage input of the inverter element, wherein the at least two inverter inputs of the inverter are connected in series with the direct voltage input of the inverter element. The electronic control system is designed so that it triggers the switching system to disconnect the at least one inverter input of the inverter from the direct voltage input of the inverter element if the voltage which is connected to the direct voltage input of the inverter element exceeds an upper threshold value and/or the network voltage and/or the network frequency of the network which is connected to the inverter output lies outside a previously specified normal voltage or normal frequency range.
The invention furthermore concerns a process to control an inverter for solar panels.
