13 Oct 2006 3:13 12vdc to 220vac inverter

Have you ever wanted to run a TV, stereo or other appliance while on the road or camping? Well, this inverter should solve that problem. It takes 12 VDC and steps it up to 120 VAC. The wattage depends on which tansistors you use for Q1 and Q2, as well as how "big" a transformer you use for T1. The inverter can be constructed to supply anywhere from 1 to 1000 (1 KW) watts.

Schematic

This is a schematic of the Inverter

Parts:

Part

Total Qty.

Description

Substitutions
C1, C2 2 68 uf, 25 V Tantalum Capacitor
R1, R2 2 10 Ohm, 5 Watt Resistor
R3, R4 2 180 Ohm, 1 Watt Resistor
D1, D2 2 HEP 154 Silicon Diode
Q1, Q2 2 2N3055 NPN Transistor (see "Notes")
T1 1 24V, Center Tapped Transformer (see "Notes")
MISC 1 Wire, Case, Receptical (For Output)

Notes:

1. Q1 and Q2, as well as T1, determine how much wattage the inverter can supply. With Q1,Q2=2N3055 and T1= 15 A, the inverter can supply about 300 watts. Larger transformers and more powerful transistors can be substituted for T1, Q1 and Q2 for more power.

2. The easiest and least expensive way to get a large T1 is to re-wind an old microwave transformer. These transformers are rated at about 1KW and are perfect. Go to a local TV repair shop and dig through the dumpster until you get the largest microwave you can find. The bigger the microwave the bigger transformer. Remove the transformer, being careful not to touch the large high voltage capacitor that might still be charged. If you want, you can test the transformer, but they are usually still good. Now, remove the old 2000 V secondary, being careful not to damage the primary. Leave the primary in tact. Now, wind on 12 turns of wire, twist a loop (center tap), and wind on 12 more turns. The guage of the wire will depend on how much current you plan to have the transformer supply. Enamel covered magnet wire works great for this. Now secure the windings with tape. Thats all there is to it. Remember to use high current transistors for Q1 and Q2. The 2N3055's in the parts list can only handle 15 amps each.

3. Remember, when operating at high wattages, this circuit draws huge amounts of current. Don't let your battery go dead Smile

.

4. Since this project produces 120 VAC, you must include a fuse and build the project in a case.

5. You must use tantalum capacitors for C1 and C2. Regular electrolytics will overheat and explode. And yes, 68uF is the correct value. There are no substitutions.

6. This circuit can be tricky to get going. Differences in transformers, transistors, parts substitutions or anything else not on this page may cause it to not function.

7. Check out this forum topic to answer many of the most commonly asked questions about this circuit: 12 - 120V Inverter Again. It covers the most common problems encountered and has some helpful suggestions.

16 Oct 2006 21:12 12v to 220v inverter circuit diagram

hey use a lower voltage high current transformer....i think since u r using 12v ...use a 12 -0 -12 transtormer with high current rating like 5-10 amps....now use the secondary to step up voltage...always remember the power remains the same only the parameters voltage and current changes.....

16 Jan 2007 21:25 circuit schematic 12v 220v

none of these is a sin wave generator

theseare square wave generators

i made one and it worked also but

the problem i got that due to heating effect components (capacitors,resistors)were lost

resisitors can be replaced by high valkued but dont know how to save capacitor fom burning

Dear eanic,
The link you have indicated is not working. Can you suggest me an easy approach to build an inverter 12VDC-220VAC 250W. Please assist me in this regard with thanks for your early responce.

Do you have the circuit values? The IC's looks like a 4060, 4013 and 4047 but what is rest of the values?

Have any of these been tried at 110-120 voltages?... And...
What would I need to do to make it 110-120volts? (use in USA)

Thanks

all you have to do is to change the transformer. either you buy 12-0-12 to 120v or you wind one yourself. the remaining circuits and components are ok. just change the transformer. goodluck pal

quite sorry that i cant really produce the value of the rest of the component but i assure i will dig down my library and upload it or i get you the link on the web. i guess you like the design. very good design it has a stable frequency.
have fun
later

25 Apr 2007 19:58 12v to 220v circuit

Looking at this design more closely, something’s bothers me.

The designer uses a crystal for an accurate 50Hz trigger reference but then uses the 4047 in monostable mode with the on-time on Q determined by a RC constant? As it stands every time the MS is triggered by the 50Hz clock, the Q output will be high for ≈11.4mS. The complementary Q-BAR will be low for this time. About (20-11.4)mS later the MS gets triggered again and the cycle repeats.

Although it will results in a stable 50Hz output to the drivers, it will not provide or guarantee a symmetrical high-time output on Q and Q-BAR. This may result in a flux imbalance in the transformer core over time, leading to saturation and possible transistor failure due to core saturation.

There is already a 50Hz complementary signal with 50% duty cycle available from IC2A (pin 1,2). Why not use that as the drive signal? Maybe I am missing something and someone will point it out, but this is what I get from this circuit.

Here is an article in luanguage unknown to me. But circuit will be useful. if it is 220V then it must be single phase as in my country. otherwise u can modify as required.

I have problem with the transformer..
how to connect transformer?
can I used 220V/12V transformer to get 220V from 12V input?What I mean if I connect input 12V to 12V that transformer..
or I only can used 12V/220V transformer?
or 12V/220V transformer is same with 220V/12V transformer??

08 Jan 2008 5:18 ac inverter design

if you connect 220 V ac voltage to 220 v terminal (in 220 to 12 transformer) you get 12 Volt voltage in 12 terminal. but if you connect 12 V ac to 12 v terminal (in the same transformer) you get 220 volt voltage in 220 terminal. 12V to 220V transformer is same with 220 to 12 v transformer

step down transformer can be use for step up transformer or not???
It is same between step down and step up transformer??
I want to used step down transformer 240 to 12 V as a step up transformer for 12V to 240V, which I connect It oppositely.

08 Jan 2008 11:53 12volt dc to220vac

step down transformer can be use in step up transformer. is your transformer labelled with 0, 110, 220 and 240 in primary and 6, 12, CT, etc in secondary?
if you want this transformer to be step up transformer, just connect the 12 V ac voltage in 12 labelled terminal and its produce 220 volt between 220 and 0 labeled terminal.
