Inverters

The electric motors that drive the wheels of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) need alternating current (AC).

But batteries provide direct current (DC).

This is a going to be a problem.

Fortunately there is also a solution!

When we need to convert DC to AC we use a device called an inverter.

In this lesson we will look at how these inverters operate.

How It Works

An inverter is an electrical device that converts a direct current (DC) input to an alternating current (AC) output.

It does this by chopping up the DC signal into chunks and spitting them out in the shape of an AC wave.

Done and done!

What..? Is that not enough detail?

Fiiiiine!

This is just a preview!
