power inverter
DC-to-AC transformer
A power inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).
This allows batteries or solar panels to run household appliances and electronics designed for standard wall outlets: We plugged the laptop into a power inverter in the car.
Inverters range from small units for vehicles to large systems for home backup power.
