The DC link capacitor is applied from positive to negative after rectification. In a power inverter, a DC link capacitor is placed in parallel with the input to minimize the effects of voltage variations as the load changes. The DC link capacitor also provides a low-impedance path for ripple currents generated by power switching circuits.
Selection of the best capacitor for a power inverter or other DC link application usually begins with a comparison of the required capacitance and ripple currents. Make sure that the specs you are comparing are referenced to the same operational standards.
Lots of people have thought of using capacitors on inverter DC input. It doesn't do any good because that's not how capacitors work. They don't produce power, they just 'borrow' it. There already are all the capacitors the inverter needs built in to the inverter.
The primary function of a capacitor in an inverter is to manage and optimize the flow of electrical energy. Key roles include: Voltage regulation: Inverter capacitor assist in maintaining a consistent voltage level, preventing fluctuations that could potentially harm connected devices.

Yes, like car audio where the battery size and wiring is limited by other constraints. but in general it will be more expensive than just adding batteries. Having the right batteries and wires is cheaper and works better too. Re: Has anyone thought of using capacitors between the inverter and battery?
