Obviously I do not want to take apart my own car, so I am looking for this inverter module to examine.
All I know is that it takes battery DC votage and somehow changes it to AC for the electric engine. Now I want to see what is in it.
Thanks for your help.
I'm guessing that you will be dissapointed with what you find. Going from AC to DC takes 4 diodes that form a full wave rectifier. DC to AC is a little trickier but the parts are all solid state. Nothing moving. You can get a little inverter from Wal-Mart for like $50 if you want to see what is in one.
