12V DC to 120-230V DC with IC 555 Inverter

This DC-to-AC inverter schematic produces an AC output at line frequency and voltage. The 555 is configured as a low-frequency oscillator, tunable over the frequency range of 50 to 60 Hz by Frequency potentiometer R4.

Parts List:
R1 = 10K
R2 = 100K
R3 = 100 ohm
R4 = 50K potmeter, Linear
C1,C2 = 0.1uF
C3 = 0.01uF
C4 = 2700uF
Q1 = TIP41A, NPN, or equivalent
Q2 = TIP42A, PNP, or equivalent
L1 = 1uH
T1 = Filament transformer, your choice


The 555 feeds its output (amplified by Q1 and Q2) to the input of transformer T1, a reverse-connected filament transformer with the necessary step-up turns ratio. Capacitor C4 and coil L1 filter the input to T1, assuring that it is effectively a sine wave. Adjust the value of T1 to your voltage.

The output (in watts) is up to you by selecting different components.

Input voltage is anywhere from +5V to +15Volt DC, adjust the 2700uF cap's working voltage accordingly.

Replacement types for Q1 are: TIP41B, TIP41C, NTE196, ECG196, etc. Replacement types for Q2 are: TIP42B, TIP42C, NTE197, ECG197, etc. Don't be afraid to use another type of similar specs, it's only a transistor... ;-)

be Inverter 12 V DC to 120 V AC

This Inverter takes 12 volt d.c and steps it up to 120 volt a.c. The wattage depends on which transistors you use for Q1 and Q2, as well as the "Amp Rating" of the transformer you use for T1. This inverter can be constructed to supply anywhere from 1 to 1000 (1 KW) watts. If Q1, Q2 are 2N3055 NPN Transistors and T1 is a 15 A transformer, then the inverter will supply about 300 watts. Larger transformers and more powerful transistors can be substituted for T1, Q1 and Q2 for more power.


Parts
C1, C2 >> 68 uf, 25 V Tantalum Capacitor
R1, R2 >> 10 Ohm, 5 Watt Resistor
R3, R4 >> 180 Ohm, 1 Watt Resistor
D1, D2 >> HEP 154 Silicon Diode
Q1, Q2 >> 2N3055 NPN Transistor (see "Notes")
T1 >> 24V, Center Tapped Transformer
Misc:
Wire, Case, Receptacle (for output)
Fuses, Heatsinks, etc.

Note: Don't try to run inductive loads (motors...) off this inverter.

great 100 Watt Inverter 12V DC to 220V AC

Electronic schematic diagram for 100 Watt Inverter 12V DC to 220V AC.

The IC1 Cd4047 wired as an astable multivibrator produces two 180 degree out of phase 1/50 Hz pulse trains.These pulse trains are are preamplifes by the two TIP122 transistors. The out puts of the TIP 122 transistors are amplified by four 2N 3055 transistors (two transistors for each half cycle) to drive the inverter transformer. The 220V AC will be available at the secondary of the transformer. Nothing complex just the elementary inverter principle and the circuit works great for small loads like a few bulbs or fans. If you need just a low cost inverter in the region of 100 W, then this is the best.

Notes:

• A 12 V car battery can be used as the 12V source.
• Use the POT R1 to set the output frequency to 50Hz.
• For the transformer get a 12-0-12 V, 10A step down transformer. But here the 12-0-12 V winding will be the primary and 220V winding will be the secondary.
• If you could not get a 10A rated transformer , don’t worry a 5A one will be just enough. But the allowed out put power will be reduced to 60W.
• Use a 10 A fuse in series with the battery as shown in circuit.
• Mount the IC on a IC holder.
• Remember, this circuit is nothing when compared to advanced PWM inverters.This is a low cost circuit meant for low scale applications.

Design Tips:
The maximum allowed output power of an inverter depends on two factors. The maximum current rating of the transformer primary and the current rating of the driving transistors.
For example ,to get a 100 Watt output using 12 V car battery the primary current will be ~8A ,(100/12) because P=VxI. So the primary of transformer must be rated above 8A.
Also here ,each final driver transistors must be rated above 4A. Here two will be conducting parallel in each half cycle, so I=8/2 = 4A .
These are only rough calculations and enough for this circuit

some 500W Inverter 12V DC to 220V AC

This is inexpensive inverter circuit which able to convert 12V DC become 220V AC. IC CD4047 is use to generate the square wave of 50hz and amplify the current and then amplify the voltage by using the step transformer.

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.

how to Positive(+) to Negative(-) Voltage Inverter

This simpe circuit will convert the positive input voltage become negative voltage.

Schematic diagram:

Component list:
Part Total Qty. Description
R1 1 24K 1/4 Watt Resistor
R2 1 56K 1/4 Watt Resistor
C1 1 3300pF 25V Ceramic Capacitor

Notes:

V+ can be anywhere from 4 to 16V. -V is one volt less than V+. So for -12V output, use +13V input. The maximum current output of the circuit is about 280mA, more than enough for a few op amps.
For better regulation, a 79LOxx series regulator can be used.
A zener diode may also be used to regulate the output voltage.

sample of 60W Inverter Circuit

Above circuit is a inexpensive completely transistorised inverter circuit ideal for driving medium loads of the order of 40 to 60 watts working with battery of 12V, 15 Ah or bigger power capacity.

Transistors T1 and T2 (BC548) make a 50Hz multivibrator. For having proper frequency, the values of resistors R3 and R4 may have to be modified after testing. The complementary outputs from Collectors of transistors T1 and T2 are provided to PNP darlington driver stages formed by transistor pairs T3-T4 and T6-T7 (utilising transistors BD140 and 2N6107). The outputs from the drivers are given to transistors T5 and T8 (2N3055) connected for push-pull operation.

Considerably bigger wattage could be achieved by growing the drive to 2N3055 transistors (by lowering the value of resistors R7 and R8 while increasing their wattage). Appropriate heatsinks may be applied for that output stage transistors to prevent the transistor from overheating. Transformer X1 is really a 230V primary to 9V-0-9V, 10A secondary used in reverse.
