How is a solar inverter circuit built?

AI Thread Summary
A solar inverter circuit converts direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses. The process involves transformers, switching, and control circuits to adjust voltage and frequency as needed. For beginners, resources like the Wikipedia page on power inverters provide foundational knowledge and project ideas. Engaging with these references can enhance understanding and practical skills in solar inverter design. Familiarity with these concepts is essential for anyone starting in engineering.

thebluser, Welcome to Physics Forums!

Have you checked out the Wikipedia page for Power inverters yet? Read it for details, plus check the references at the bottom for actual projects to build one. or how to buy one.

"A power inverter, or inverter, is an electrical power converter that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC);[1] the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits."

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
