A DC/AC inverter converts a documented DC supply into an AC output.

## What it represents

A DC/AC inverter converts a documented DC supply into an AC output. The output waveform, voltage, frequency and operating mode belong in the equipment and control records.

## How to read it

- Distinguish a standalone AC output from an inverter intended to follow a network.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- State DC input rating
- State AC output parameters
- Reference operating mode

## Important distinction

A DC/AC inverter is a conversion stage; its system-control capabilities depend on the selected equipment.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Energy conversion
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
- Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name.
