power converters
Electrical format changers
Power converters are electrical devices that change one form of electrical power to another—converting AC to DC, DC to AC, or adjusting voltage and frequency levels.
They range from small adapters for charging phones to industrial units managing power grids.
The solar panel system uses a power converter to feed electricity into the house.
