Power MOSFETs are used almost everywhere now, inverters, SMPS, solar systems, motor drivers, induction heater side, battery charger circuits etc…. But one single MOSFET sometimes can not carry all that heavy current safely, especially in big inverter type application. So then people connect many MOSFETs in parallel, meaning all working together sharing the load a […]

How to Upgrade EGS002 Inverter to 5kVA Level
In this article I will explain how to upgrade an EGS002 inverter board to 5kVA power level using the HCPL-3120 or HCPL-J312 opto isolated drivers with isolated inputs and isolated power supply stages. However, the low side MOSFETs are driven through ordinary BJT totem pole configuration such as by using BD139 and BD140 transistor pairs. […]
Simple 3 Phase Inverter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a 3 phase inverter circuit which can be used in conjunction with any ordinary single phase square wave inverter circuit. The circuit was requested by one of the interested readers of this blog. UPDATE: Looking for an Arduino based design? You may find this one useful: Arduino 3 […]
Arduino 3 Phase Inverter Circuit with Code
An Arduino three phase inverter is a circuit which produces a 3 phase AC output through a programmed Arduino based oscillator. In this post I have explained how to make a simple microprocessor Arduino based 3 phase inverter circuit which could be upgraded as per user preference for operating a given 3 phase load. We […]
Simple H-Bridge Circuits Using BJTs and MOSFETs | No Need of Driver ICs
An H-bridge is one very useful circuit arrangement which lets us reverse the polarity across a load, so now with one DC supply we can make current flow through the load in both directions alternately. Because of that, these H-bridge circuits get used in many places like DC to AC inverter circuits, transformer drivers, bidirectional […]
