Make This 1KVA (1000 watts) Pure Sine Wave Inverter Circuit

Last Updated on March 8, 2026 by Swagatam 296 Comments

A relatively simple 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter circuit is explained here using a signal amplifier and  a power transformer.

As can be seen in the first diagram below, the configuration is a simple mosfet based designed for amplifying current at +/-60 volts such that the connected transformer corresponds to generate the required 1kva output.

UPDATE:

There's a much easier and efficient way of making a 1 kva inverter circuit using the following 4017 PWM version circuit. Since the PWM is created directly through the 4017 output, the PWMs are much accurate and the waveform is uniform and does not depend on any external adjustments.

The biggest advantage of using this circuit is that the output can be modified to almost a pure sine wave by adding a few PPC capacitors across the transformer output.

Here' the circuit which you can try:

Audio/Video Representation

Parts List

  • Resistors
  • All resistors are 1/4 watt 5% unless specified
  • 100K = 2nos
  • 100 ohm 1 watt = 1no
  • 1K = 2no
  • 10 ohm = 2no
  • Capacitors
  • 0.047uF ceramic or PPC = 1no
  • 10nF ceramic or PPC = 1no
  • 10uF/25V Electrolytic = 1no
  • Semiconductors
  • 1N4148 diodes = 7nos
  • 12V/1 watt zener diode = 1no
  • IRF3205 MOSFETs = 10nos
  • Transformer 12-0-12V/220V/1kva
  • Battery = 24V/500 Ah = 1no

The previous original article which is continued in the following paragraphs also discusses a 1000 watt inverter circuit, however, this circuit being a linear amplifier is not so efficient, and may result in a lot of dissipation.

I would recommend trying the above circuit, which will give you a 100% results quickly.

Remember, you must first try and confirm the working of the inverter using single MOSFETs on each channel. Once the working is confirmed then you can add more number of MOSFETs in parallel to upgrade the power capacity of the inverter to 1000 watts

Circuit Operation

Q1, Q2 forms the initial differential amplifier stage which appropriately raises the 1vpp sine signal at its input to a level which becomes suitable for initiating the driver stage made up of Q3, Q4, Q5.

This stage further raises the voltage such that it becomes sufficient for driving the mosfets.

The mosfets are also formed in the push pull format, which effectively shuffles the entire 60 volts across the transformer windings 50 times per second such that the output of the transformer generates the intended 1000 watts AC at the mains level.

Each pair is responsible for handling 100 watts of output, together all the 10 pairs dump 1000 watts into the transformer.

For acquiring the intended pure sine wave output, a suitable sine input is required which is fulfilled with the help of a simple sine wave generator circuit.

It is made up of a couple of opamps and a few other passive parts. It must be operated with voltages between 5 and 12. This voltage should be suitably derived from one of the batteries which are being incorporated for driving the inverter circuit.

The inverter is driven with voltages of +/-60 volts that amounts to 120 V DC.

This huge voltage level is obtained by putting 10 nos. of 12 volt batteries in series.

1000 watt or 1kva sine wave inverter circuit

The Sinewave Generator Circuit

The below given diagram shows a simple sine wave generator circuit which may be used for driving the above inverter circuit, however since the output from this generator is exponential by nature, might cause a lot of heating of the mosfets.

A better option would be to incorporate a PWM based circuit which would supply the above circuit with appropriately optimized PWM pulses equivalent to a standard sine signal.

The PWM circuit utilizing the IC555 has also been referred in the next diagram, which may be used for triggering the above 1000 watt inverter circuit.

Parts List for the sine generator circuit

All resistors are 1/8 watts, 1%, MFR
R1 = 14K3 (12K1 for 60Hz),
R2, R3, R4, R7, R8 = 1K,
R5, R6 = 2K2 (1K9 for 60Hz),
R9 = 20K
C1, C2 = 1µF, TANT.
C3 = 2µF, TANT (TWO 1µF IN PARALLEL)
C4, C6, C7 = 2µ2/25V,
C5 = 100µ/50v,
C8 = 22µF/25V
A1, A2 = TL 072

Part List for Inverter

Q1, Q2 = BC556

Q3 = BD140

Q4, Q5 = BD139

All N-channel mosfet are = K1058

All P-channel mosfets are = J162

Transformer = 0-60V/1000 watts/output 110/220volts 50Hz/60Hz

The proposed 1 kva inverter discussed in the above sections can be much streamlined and reduced in size as given in the following design:

How to Connect Batteries

The diagram also shows the method of connecting the battery, and the supply connections for the sine wave or the PWM oscillator stages.

Here just four mosfets have been used which could be IRF4905 for the p-channel, and IRF2907 for n-channel.

Complete 1 kva inverter circuit design with 50 Hz sine oscillator

In the above section we have learned a full bridge design in which two batteries are involved for accomplishing the required 1kva output. Now let's investigate how a full bridge design could be constructed using 4 N channel mosfet and using a single battery.

The following section shows how a full-bridge 1 KVA inverter circuit can be built using, without incorporating complicated high side driver networks or chips.

Using Arduino

The above explained 1kva sinewave inverter circuit can be also driven through an Arduino for achieving almost a prefect sinewave output.

The complete Arduino based circuit diagram can be seen below:

Sine wave 1 kva inverter using Arduino

Program Code is given below:

//code modified for improvement from http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=8563.0
//connect pin 9 -> 10k Ohm + (series with)100nF ceramic cap -> GND, tap the sinewave signal from the point at between the resistor and cap.

int average;
const int Pin = 9;
float time;
float percentage;
float templitude;
float offset = 2.5; // default value 2.5 volt as operating range voltage is 0~5V
float minOutputScale = 0.0;
float maxOutputScale = 5.0;
const int resolution = 1; //this determines the update speed. A lower number means a higher refresh rate.
const float pi = 3.14159;
void setup() {
wav1[0] = 50; //frequency of the sine wave
wav1[1] = 2.5; // 0V - 2.5V amplitude (Max amplitude + offset) value must not exceed the "maxOutputScale"
TCCR1B = TCCR1B & 0b11111000 | 1;//set timer 1B (pin 9) to 31250khz
pinMode(Pin, OUTPUT);
//Serial.begin(115200);//this is for debugging
}
void loop() {
time = micros()% 1000000;
percentage = time / 1000000;
templitude = sin(((percentage) * wav1[0]) * 2 * pi);
wav1[2] = (templitude * wav1[1]) + offset; //shift the origin of sinewave with offset.

{
return (x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min;
}

The Full-Bridge Inverter Concept

Driving a full bridge mosfet network having 4 N-channel mosfets is never easy, rather it calls for reasonably complex circuitry involving complex high side driver networks.

If you study the following circuit which has been developed by me, you will discover that after all it's not that difficult to design such networks and can be done even with ordinary components.

We will study the concept with the help of the shown circuit diagram which is in the form of a modified 1 kva inverter circuit employing 4 N-channel mosfets.

As we all know, when 4 N-channel mosfets are involved in an H-bridge network, a bootstrapping network becomes imperative for driving the high side or the upper two mosfets whose drains are connected to the high side or the battery (+) or the positive of the given supply.

In the proposed design, the bootstrapping network is formed with the help of six NOT gates and a few other passive components.

The output of the NOT gates which are configured as buffers generate voltage twice that of the supply range, meaning if the supply is 12V, the NOT gate outputs generate around 22V.

This stepped up voltage is applied to the gates of the high side mosfets via the emitter pinouts of two respective NPN transistors.

Since these transistors must be switched in such a way that diagonally opposite mosfets conduct at a time while the the diagonally paired mosfets at the two arms of the bridge conduct alternately.

This function is effectively handled by the sequential output high generator IC 4017, which is technically called Johnson divide by 10 counter/divider IC.

The Bootstrapping Network

The driving frequency for the above IC is derived from the bootstrapping network itself just to avoid the need of  an external oscillator stage.

The frequency of the bootstrapping network should be adjusted such that the output frequency of the transformer gets optimized to the required degree of 50 or 60 Hz, as per the required specs.

While sequencing, the outputs of the IC 4017 trigger the connected mosfets appropriately producing the required push-pull effect on the attached transformer winding which activates the inverter functioning.

The PNP transistor which can be witnessed attached with the NPN transistors make sure that the gate capacitance of the mosfets are effectively discharged in the course of the action for enabling efficient functioning of the entire system.

The pinout connections to the mosfets can be altered and changed as per individual preferences, this might also require the involvement of the reset pin#15 connection.

Waveform Images

The above design was tested and verified by Mr. Robin Peter one of the avid hobbyists and contributor to this blog, the following waveform images were recorded by him during the testing process.

The above circuit will work with 12V supply also, but with 12V supply a 1000 watt inverter will become too heavy with thick wires and huge heatsinks, that's why higher voltage is recommended.

Hi Kabir,

50 watt panel is too low to power an inverter directly, you will need at least a 100 watt solar panel for this.

You can try a simple inverter circuit that's explained in the following article:

Hi Stev,

you will need two 12V bats connected in series for operating the above inverter. Meaning together the battery will generate 24V

The series connection will become the ground (earth symbol) of the system.

For the IC 555, the positive of the battery which generates 24V will become its positive supply while the series link of the batts will become the ground of the circuit, same can be done for the A1/A2 circuit if it's being used in place of the 555.
This also means that the earth or the ground of all the circuits can be made into a common line.
pin7 of A2 will connect with the inverter input.

There are many things that must be taken care of here. The circuit will require a dual battery supply, example 2nos 24V batts in series. the series connection will become the ground.
the preset will need to be adjusted correctly or alternatively it can be simply replaced with two series connected 1N4148 diodes, anode up, cathode down.
try with the 555 circuit first and using just two mosfets

Hi Bianz, connect small flashlight lamps in series with positive and the negative lines of the circuit…these lamps should be rated at the battery voltage level.
now without connecting any load switch ON power to the circuit.
The flashlights will light up brightly, now carefully adjust the preset until the lights just shut off. This setting will ensure that your mosfets stay cool when there's no load.

Hi Simon, you will need a full-bridge inverter (without transformer) circuit for implementing the application.

biannz, remove the sine oscillator input, and short circuit the inverter input to ground and then check whether the mosfets are getting hot or not.

If yes, then there could be something not correct with the connections.

without an input signal the fets will never heat up, i have the tested the design and it worked perfectly for me.
you circuit has some fault for sure get it checked by a expert.

i had cautioned you before not to try something which you cannot troubleshoot yourself.

Hi Swagatam

Recently, the transformer of my UPS (purchased from market 3 years ago) is becoming very hot, such that strong smell can be felt in the room.

What could be the reason?

Hi Abu-Hafss,
May be it incorporates some kind of voltage regulation circuitry which has failed now and as a result excessive voltage and current is being fed to the transformer input winding.

Transformer = 60-0-60V/1000 watts/output 110/220volts 50Hz/60Hz
what do mean 60-0-60?

Reply
SwagatamAdmin
May 29, 2014 • 12 years ago #22992

sorry, it should be 0-60V and not 60-0-60

it's the voltage rating of the primary side winding of the inverter transformer.

No, these are small 25V rated, tantalum types are preferred for their low leakage properties and high accuracy.

Daniel, is the heating happening with loads connected or without loads?

and when the input sinewave input is removed are the mosfets returning to normal temperature?

what rating transformer did you use?

did you check the quiscent current of the circuit.

did you connect the two 1N4148 diodes at the collector of Q3?

Reply
daniel adusei
July 29, 2014 • 12 years ago #24671

yes sir the diode is connected, it got hot without load ,i use IRF540N in place of IRF2907 cos IRF2907 it difficult to get it,or can you please tell me common N-CHANNEL MOSFETS?

July 30, 2014 • 12 years ago #24685

daniel, do not connect any input signal, initially keep the input 22k end shorted to ground.

now power the circuit with small 12V flashlight bulbs in series with the battery supply lines (+) and (-).

If the bulbs glow brightly would mean something's wrong with your circuit.

The bulb glow will suggest that the quiescent current is too high for the circuit and it has not been configured correctly.

in a good circuit the bulbs will stay shut off

God day Sir
I would like to ask for your help if you have a 5kw pure sine wave inverter. with an input/output 24Vdc/250Vac 60 hertz design. I'm very much fascinated with your designs. I would highly appreciate it if you could help me with this.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi Radley, you could probably try the following design, you can try replacing the ferrite core trafo with a standard iron core transformer having 5kva rating

Reply
SwagatamAdmin
September 29, 2014 • 12 years ago #26083

60v or higher trafo is used for minimizing the current requirement of the inverter, you could as well use a 12V trafo with a 12-0-12V batt for the same results, but that would mean the amp rating going up significantly………

Oops forgot to mention in the tricky challenge………it would be far better if a swich for sinewave,squarewave,traingle and sawtooth wave. if not at all possible,make it sinewave alongwith PAM/PWM/PPM controller

October 13, 2014 • 12 years ago #26443

yes a 12-0-12 trafo can be used with a single 12V battery, in fact the trafo could be a 9-0-9v ideally.

October 14, 2014 • 12 years ago #26497

In that case look at the connection in the diagram that the positive lead from the battery on the right connected to q7 would that connection still be made using one battery or just the portion with the battery to the left?
