This section is about Power Inverters and Converters

A Power Converter is usually known as a device that converts DC to another DC voltage. This is usually a higher DC voltage, a voltage of the opposite polarity or both. They may have multiple outputs of other voltages. Ones that convert DC to a lower DC voltage are in the Power SUpplies section as Switch Mode Regulators or an an SMPS.

An Inverter is usually known as a device that converts DC to an AC voltage. Usually Line Voltage like 110 to 120VAC 60Hz OR 220 to 240VAC 50Hz but not always. They are usually step up devices but not always.  

These definitions are not absolute definitions.

The circuits in this section often operate at high voltages and currents. IF ONE IS NOT 100% COMFORTABLE, EXPERIENCED AND SKILLED WORKING SAFELY WITH OFTEN LETHAL VOLTAGES AS WELL AS HIGH CRRENTS THAT CAN START FIRES THEN ONE MUST LEAVE THIS SECTION IMMEDIATELY.
