Question about the operation of an inverter

[Christophe]

A little "stupid" question: does an inverter constantly "ripple" the voltage or does it only when the mains voltage is absent?

In other words: when it is not operating on battery, is the grid voltage used directly or is a voltage "processed" by the inverter used?

If nobody knows: is there a simple method to check this?

My question is not innocent, it is to see if we can use an inverter to treat the tension of my future paddle wheel

If you are talking about backup systems for computers, the inverter constantly supplies the computer with the sector supplying 12 volts to the inverter and the battery, in this way when the network is cut or boosted, no difference on the computer food ..

Yes I'm talking about this ... I have 2 different models at home.

So according to you "everything" goes through the 12V therefore through the undulation of the inverter?

When the power goes out we can hear a relay trigger... so I assumed there were 2 separate circuits?

According to you therefore a simple solution to check would be to remove the battery: if everything goes through the 12V / battery, a priori without battery the inverter no longer works.

I good?

Hello

there are 2 types of inverter: off line or on line

the off line supply normally on the sector, in the event of cut or under tension, a relay switches on the undulated voltage

the on line, are active permanently but of a certainly high price

the so-called mainstream models, therefore small power are all off line
