DC Watts and AC Watts are commonly used in electrical power of a unit of measure, especially those involved in the conversion between AC and DC power circuit will often use these two concepts, want to understand the conversion of DC Watts to AC Watts you need to have an in-depth understanding of the two concepts of DC Watts and AC Watts.
1. What is DC Watt?
DC Watt refers to the electrical power in a DC circuit. As a common example, suppose the electrical power output from your solar panels is 200watt, knowing that the power output from your solar panels is DC, so it’s a DC circuit, it can be shown that the DC wattage of this DC circuit is 200watt.
2. What is AC Watt?
AC watt refers to the electrical power in the AC circuit, for example, the DC power generated by the solar panel is converted to AC power by the solar inverter to supply power to the load, then the circuit between the solar inverter and the load is an AC circuit, assuming that the AC power in the circuit is 180watt, then it can be shown that the AC wattage of this AC circuit is 180watt.
3. What is the conversion efficiency of an inverter and how is it derived?
Inverter is a kind of equipment that converts DC power to AC power, the conversion efficiency of inverter refers to the inverter’s ability to convert DC watts to AC watts, the conversion efficiency of different inverters is different, this is because of the difference in the internal structure of each inverter, the general conversion efficiency of inverters is 80%~99%, of course, if you have a higher demand for electricity, you can choose the conversion efficiency of high Inverter.
It is very easy to know the conversion efficiency of your inverter, you can get it from the instruction manual of your inverter.
