The present invention provides an inverter circuit for a vehicle, which includes: a switching unit that includes a plurality of switching elements and switches a direct current into an alternating current; and a variable clamping unit that clamps an overshoot in case the overshoot is generated, and stops the operation of the switching unit in case a system voltage is greater than a clamping breakdown voltage. The circuit enables a voltage (DC input voltage) greater than a breakdown voltage of clamping unit to be used as a system voltage.
