I have bought a Chinese 250W 'SUVPR' brand car
inverter guaranteed to deliver 150W. It is 10 times cheaper than a pure
sinewave inverter and so I chose it for backup
against infrequent power-cuts. It outputs step
approximated sinewave at 220V, 50Hz AC. It
works great, but the only problem is the humming on fluorescent ballasts and fan motors.
The buzzing is extremely irritating. I have noticed
that if I connect a non-polarized capacitor of
440V 8uF capacitance, the humming almost goes
away and isn't noticeable. Is this a good idea to
keep the capacitor connected? Or do I need a low pass filter to block the hum? Can you kindly tell
me the values of the capacitor and inductor if I
need to build a low pass filter?
Also please help me with the circuit. Output: 220V
Frequency: 50Hz
Waveform: Step approximated sinewave.
Load: Maximum: 100Watts, minimum 15watts. Please help. Thanks.
