Build a 500W low cost 12V to 220V Inverter Circuit Diagram

Build a 500W low cost 12V to 220V Inverter Circuit Diagram. Using this circuit you can convert the 12V dc in to the 220V Ac. In this circuit 4047 is use to generate the square wave of 50hz and amplify the current and then amplify the voltage by using the step transformer.

500W low cost 12V to 220V Inverter Circuit Diagram

How to calculate transformer rating
The basic formula is P=VI and between input output of the transformer we have Power input = Power output

For example if we want a 220W output at 220V then we need 1A at the output. Then at the input we must have at least 18.3V at 12V because: 12V*18.3 = 220v*1

So you have to wind the step up transformer 12v to 220v but input winding must be capable to bear 20A.

Attention: This Circuit is using high voltage that is lethal. Please take appropriate precautions

Simple 100 watt Inverter Circuit Diagram

Simple 100 watt Inverter Circuit Diagram this circuit is 12 Volt to 220 Volt. This is a simple circuit diagram, This 100W inverter circuit works great for small loads like a fan or 2-3 bulbs/lamps. In this circuit as IC1 we used a CD 4047 IC to generate 100Hz frequency (180 degree out of phase). CD 4047 IC is from Texas Instruments. It is mostly used as Astable/Monostable signal generator device. In this circuit it is triggered as astable multivibrator by the capacitor C1 between the Pin 1 and 3 of CD4047. And VR1 is used to adjust the frequency of signal.

Four 2N3055 transistors are used to amplify the pulse trains that are pre-amplified by two TIP122 transistors. There used three transistors for each side (half cycle), one TIP122 & two 2N3055 transistor to drive the output transformer (TX in circuit). Four 2N3055 transistors are used as driving transistor. An inverters maximum output power depends on two factors; one is the max current rating of transformer’s primary winding and other factor is the current rating of driver transistors.

Transformer: Use a 12v-0-12v, 10A step-down transformer in reverse. That’s mean secondary winding (12v-0-12v) will be the primary and primary winding (220VAC side) will be the secondary (output). So that it will worked like a step-up transformer. You can also use a 5A transformer instead of 10A, if you couldn’t have 10A.  But the output power will decrease to 60 Watt.

+12VDC: A good quality 12V car battery could be used for DC 12V.
