It's an electronic device. By definition electrical devices take the energy of electric current and transform it into another form of energy like light or heat (oven, motor, bulb). On the other hand, electronic devices are designed to manipulate the electrical current itself (AC to DC convention or reverse of an inverter.

There are two aspects of inverter in industry.

1: Designing and Manufacturing: The design and manufacturing of inverter belongs to electronics. Because you have to design a mechanism  which converts dc (usually12v) to ac . So it should be in electronics department.

2: Installation of Inverter: The installation of inverter belong to electrical because you have to do a separate wiring for inverter's live. Only required portion is connected with the live of inverter. So it should be done under electrical department.
