EL/CCFL Inverters & Accessories DC to AC Inverter

hey there guys Paul here from the engineering mindset calm in this video we're going to be looking at power inverters to understand the basics of how they work and where we use them remember electricity is dangerous and can be fatal you should be qualified and competent to carry out any electrical work a typical inverter looks something like this it has some red and black DC terminals on the back end and on the front end we find some AEC electrical outlets that's because there are two types of electricity there is AC and there is DC an inverter is used to convert DC or direct current into AC alternating current we can also convert AC into DC with the use of a rectifier but we'll cover that in a separate video and I'll leave some links in the video description down below for that the appliances in our homes are designed to run off of an AC supply and they get that from the electrical out
