An inverter is an equipment which will convert a battery voltage or any DC (normally a high current) into a higher mains equivalent voltage (120V, or 220V), however unlike an UPS inverters may lack one feature, that is these may not be able to switch from mains battery charging mode to inverter mode and vice […]

Homemade 2000 VA Power Inverter Circuit
Making a power inverter circuit rated above 2000 VA is always difficult, mainly because of the involved transformer dimension which becomes quite huge, unmanageable and difficult to configure correctly. Introduction Power inverters in the range of KVA, requires huge current transferring capabilities for implementing the required operations as per the desired specs of the unit. Transformer being the main power […]
Convert any H-Bridge Inverter to Sine Wave H-bridge Inverter
In this post we’ll discuss how to convert any ordinary square wave H-bridge inverter into an almost pure sine wave inverter circuit. Basic Concept The idea is simple, just chop the low side MOSFET gates of the H-Bridge with reverse SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) waveform. This will force the low side 50 Hz, or […]
Simple 48V Inverter Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple 48V inverter circuit which may be rated at as high as 2 KVA. The entire design is configured around a single IC 4047 and a few power transistors. Technical Specifications I am a big fan of u….i am a wisp. i need an inverter design with 48volt […]
