What is a Power Inverter?
A power inverter is a device that converts low-voltage DC (direct current) power to standard household AC (alternating current) power. An Inverter allows you to operate household appliances and electrical equipment using the power produced by a car, truck or boat battery or renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines.
