At what volt does this inverter charges the battery. ie what is the charging voltage,is it a multi-stage charger,at what voltage does charging stops
 

Battery charging voltage depends on type of batteries. The more important thing is the charging current.
As I know, a multi-stage charger never stops charging, and it never should.
A floating charge is needed constantly to overcome the self discharge of batteries. Refer to this site:


You mentioned "this inverter"... Where is the inverter??
 

It really depends on which inverter you are referring to.

In general, for a 12V lead-acid battery, charging voltage is between 13.5V and 15V, depending on required charging current.

For a multistage charger, the bulk stage uses a voltage between 14.5V and 15V.
During the trickle stage, it uses a voltage between 13.5V and 14V.
There might be more stages, eg absorption, but this depends on your inverter.

If charging is terminated, it's done either when the battery voltage reaches a certain level (13.5V - 14.4V, depending on charging and sensing method), or when battery charging current falls below a certain level. Again, we don't know if the inverter terminates charging or employs trickle charging.

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.

You didnt specify what inverter exactly, but for sure correct information is specification provided by manufacturer.

Usually its float charge with current limiting, in ranges 13,5V-13,8V depending on temperature of battery cells.

Like others says in previous posts can be multi staged chargers tech.
 

what's the importance of zero crossing detector in inverter charging system.
 

To fire the thyristers in correct firing angle..... They are the base time lines to start the timing calculation....
 

u are correct vendkadesh m but that is thyristo charge control. I mean H bridge charge control using mosfets.
 

H bridge for what? rectifier? then zero crossing detector is still used to produce firing pulses.... It will start a timer and the output will be high for certain time (less than half period) to bias the MOSFET.. It is better than PWM ing the MOSFET with higher frequencies....
