Understanding the Risks of Reverse Power Flow in Inverters

When an inverter reversely passes 220V power, it creates a dangerous feedback loop that can damage equipment and even cause electrical fires. This phenomenon occurs when energy flows backward into the grid or power source instead of following the intended direction. Think of it like drinking water through a fire hose – the system wasn't designed to handle reverse pressure.

Key Technical Challenges

• Voltage instability in connected devices
• Overheating of circuit components
• Reduced inverter lifespan by 40-60% (based on 2023 industry data)
