4 FAQs about High frequency and industrial frequency inverter

What is a high frequency inverter?

A high frequency inverter uses advanced switching components (MOSFETs or IGBTs) to convert DC to AC with minimal transformer mass. These units are: Typical applications: A low frequency inverter incorporates large transformers to handle higher surge loads and provide robust performance under demanding conditions. These units are:

What is a low frequency inverter?

A low frequency inverter incorporates large transformers to handle higher surge loads and provide robust performance under demanding conditions. These units are: Typical applications: Choosing between a high frequency vs low frequency inverter depends on: To support system design and procurement, consider these inverter types:

What determines a high or low frequency inverter?

Size and tolerances of the transistors used in the inversion process, and the speed at which they operate determines the classification of high or low frequency. The large majority of inverters available in the retail market are high frequency.

What are HF inverters used for?

HF inverters have over twice the number of components and use multiple, smaller transformers. Their application is appropriate for a wide variety of uses like tool battery chargers, small appliances, A/V and computers, but have a decreased capacity for long term exposure to high surge loads like pumps, motors, and some high-torque tools.
