Abstract
An inverter capable of supplying power to utility grids of varying line voltages is described. In some examples, the inverter contains multiple output taps that are selected to output power to the utility grid based on the voltage of the utility grid. In some examples, the inverter includes a multi-pin connector that connects with one of multiple receptacles associated with a desired voltage configuration. In some examples, the inverter is capable of adapting to a defined line voltage in two steps.
