Power Inverters
In general, an inverter converts electricity from direct current to alternating current and a lower power to a higher wattage. For example, 12V DC to 240V AC, 12 V DC to 110 V AC, 24 V DC to 220 V AC ...
You have one input and one or more outputs. Their contribution is usually a bank of batteries or battery and their outputs are connected as a normal power house where almost every electronic device that is connected to a socket that can connect calls, we talkhalf of a large capacity inverter. For example: TV, radio, lamps, vacuum cleaners, toasters, hair dryers ... depending on the size of the converter, which can vary from a few watts to several kW.
There are two types of inverters: modified sine or pure sine wave.
Modified sine wave inverter is an inverter that converts direct current from a DC-AC and put some tension on the product purchased, for example, if you are in Australia there would be a 240v, buy and live in EuropeAsia 220v 230v, 110v in the U.S., what power you have in your Power Point in your family. The standard will be produced by this inverter similar but not quite identical to that home to you. You can see the difference of some 'subtle electronics such as TV, radio, lights, etc. If you think that this is a delicate electronics do not recommend this product because it can do some damage in the long term, you would like, but I would suggest, an inverter pure sine wave.
Pure sine wave outputThe inverter is an inverter that converts direct current is the same DC to AC but mimics perfectly the power of the network or at home, so pure. They are more electronically advanced, but also more expensive, about double the market price.
Note! To use one of these two drives if you have the power of a power supply (battery, solar panels, wind turbines) to export to the home screen, as they are in electronic format to be exported power. If you connectto a power point, instead of the current that produces the energy for export, will the real power from your strength in your travels and drive without a doubt blow to the air. To export the network of power is produced, there is a grid tie inverter (GTI) is made to this process.
Tie grid (grid connected) inverters
GTI is a new inverter technology that can be connected directly to the home screen (electrical engineering only) generally are largerUnits of capacity and there are some smaller units that are connected to a power outlet (socket) do it yourself.
How they work: GTI reads and analyzes the network / switch and when a series of batteries, solar panels or wind turbines are connected as input, has transformed the power of this spring, fits perfectly into the type of power is read and analyzed the network / and exports to the network jack.
If you plan to make your solar panel or networka wind turbine to operate these smaller units is very useful because there is no need to do any wiring to the main circuit, it is only a Plug and Play. Another great feature is that a grid tie inverter, the ability to light up when he came to power on and off when nobody is there, and turning it off if you have not read any power in your network / is strength and turning on itself when it is a power to read to export. This function iscalled islanding and it was as if there was a problem with the power on your street or was on purpose by the utility company to repair or create some maintenance, it will stop working GTI, so that power can not continue to export to the grid Otherwise electricians electrical shock to know when working with the main units of the grid road, that there is no power lines, as it turned out, but your still getting the GTI was to be exported.
ChargerRegulator
A charge controller power is a smart piece of electronic equipment, which are designed to perform certain tasks. You have the possibility of power to produce a solar panel or wind turbine and charge a battery or battery bank to obtain.
A second characteristic is that it allows the current only one way to panels or wind power system, batteries, and not vice versa, so that solar panels or wind turbines trip is not damaged.
A third handFeature that will no longer be in power from the batteries when they are full, so it can not be overloaded or damaged. Some regulators have the power to charge some additional features. Some have the ability, once the battery is charging the bank to send the output to a load, it is not, by itself out of the waste.
Another characteristic of some of them have a temperature control. Some have an accessory that is connected to the charge with a long cable and a temperature sensor at the other end. TheSensor must be on the side of the battery or batteries are connected between the battery pack. What has to be here, he reads the temperature of the battery and charge controller keeps your upgrade. If the temperature exceeds a temperature set point the controller at the factory will charge the batteries in the event of a failure to protect your bank battery.
Another feature, a small LCD screen can tell the battery voltage, the amount ofWatts or amps are sent to the battery. I tried a couple of different brands in the past, but modern brand that I was holding, and are currently in use to Xantrex. It has all the features mentioned above. Brand preferred some other people is golden boy. There are many brands to choose from.
