DC to AC Conversion with Half-Bridge Inverters
Description
DC to AC conversion is the main idea behind a power inverter. DC power flows in one direction, while AC current changes direction at about 50-60 Hz. Many electronic devices are designed to run on AC power, so a DC source must be inverted before it can be used with them.

Transcript
An inverter is an electrical device that transforms a DC input to an AC output at a selected voltage and frequency, a process called DC to AC conversion. For example, inverters are heavily used in the interface between solar cells and the electrical grid, where DC power generated from the solar cell must be converted to AC in order to be compati...
