WHAT'S AN INVERTER?
An inverter is a type of power conversion circuit that electronically regulates
the voltage, current, and frequency of a device. In an inverter air conditioner,
this circuit controls the revolutions of the
compressor — and hence the air
conditioner’s output. Raising the frequency
increases the output, lowering the
frequency reduces it. In this way, inverter
air conditioners provide much finer
temperature control than non-inverter
models.
Panasonic is harnessing its industry-leading technologies to make life more comfortable.
With the slogan "Technologies that deliver new levels of comfort,"
the company is working to develop new, high-performance inverter air conditioners.
Models with PFC (power-factor corrector) circuitry reduce electrical loss from the power source,
thus increasing maximum power input.
This naturally increases the maximum air conditioner output,
so you enjoy more comfort.
