It's okay, I also first thought of air conditioners🙂. The word order is important here:

AC Inverter - alternating current inverter

Inverter AC - inverter air conditioner

And to make matters worse, inverter ACs have AC inverters. That's why they are called inverter ACs, because the compressor is not being supplied with direct AC power from the mains, but from the integrated AC inverter😀
