- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of an inverter bridge in electrical equipment?
**A**: An inverter bridge converts direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power using switching devices like power semiconductor switches, enabling AC power output for motors, generators, and other industrial applications.

### Q: What materials are commonly used in inverter bridge construction?
**A**: Inverter bridges typically use silicon semiconductors for switching, copper for bus bars and conductivity, aluminum for heat sinks, ceramic substrates for insulation, and epoxy resin for encapsulation and protection.

### Q: How does an inverter bridge differ from a rectifier bridge?
**A**: An inverter bridge converts DC to AC power, while a rectifier bridge converts AC to DC power. Both use bridge circuits with switching devices, but their functions and configurations are opposite in power conversion applications.
