inverter (electrical), which converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC)
inverter (logic gate), also called a NOT gate. If input is a logic low it is converted to a logic high. If input is a logic high it is converted to a logic low
In India, Uninterrupted Power Supply Systems are also referred to as inverters, because the inverter is a major component.
An inverter is an electronic circuit for converting direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). ... In digital logic, an inverter is a logic gate which inverts the digital signal driven on its input. ... An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), sometimes called an uninterruptible power source, is a device which maintains a continuous supply of electric power to connected equipment by supplying power from a separate source when utility power is not available. ...

Inverters are used in a wide range of applications, from small switched power supplies for a computer to large electric utility applications to transport bulk power.
Inverters are also used to provide a source of AC power from photovoltaic solar cells and fuel cell power supplies.
By connecting the inverter output terminals in sequence between the positive rail and ground, the positive rail and the negative rail, the ground rail and the negative rail, then both to the ground rail, a stepped waveform is generated at the inverter output.
If the inverter is expected to run induction motors, like the ones found in automatic washers, dryers, dishwashers and large power tools, it must be designed to surge, or deliver power many times its rating for short periods of time while these motors start.
The inverter will synchronize to the generator and allow loads to be powered that are too large for either the generator or inverter to supply alone.
Interference can be minimized by locating the inverter very close to the batteries, twisting together the cables that connect the inverter to the battery, running AC lines separate from other wiring (such as telephone wires) and locating the inverter away from appliances that are susceptible to interference.
