About Inverter Duty Transformers

The inverter duty transformer is also known as the solar transformer. These transformers are commonly used in grid-tied photovoltaic solar power applications to provide galvanic isolation, increase voltage, and transport energy back to the utility grid.

It is designed to withstand high-frequency, high-voltage transmissions from inverters. Inverters typically produce high-frequency signals that are challenging for ordinary transformers to manage. These electrical gadgets are constructed using high-quality materials that can endure high temperatures and provide greater insulation. Depending on the application, they may also include shielding and grounding elements to reduce electrical noise and interference

The current generated is typically direct current (DC). This direct current is then fed into an inverter, which turns it into alternating current (AC). However, the voltage generated by this inverter is only a few kilovolts (KV), therefore it cannot be transferred to the power grid for further distribution and utilization. The electrical grid primarily taps voltages of 11kV, 22kV, and 33kV. This is where the inverter duty transformer comes into play, helping to raise the voltage to the desired amount.
