Understanding Power Loss in Inverters

If you've ever wondered why inverters all have half the power compared to their rated capacity, you're not alone. This phenomenon occurs due to energy conversion losses, heat dissipation, and system design limitations. Let's break it down:

• Conversion Losses: Inverters typically lose 10-20% of energy during DC-to-AC conversion.
• Thermal Constraints: High temperatures reduce component efficiency by up to 30%.
• Load Mismatch: Operating below 50% load can cut efficiency by half.
