Designing 12V DC-220V AC Power Inverters

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on designing 12V DC to 220V AC inverters with power ratings of 2000, 3000, 5000, and 10000 watts. Participants emphasize the complexity of inverter design, particularly in circuit filtering and safety considerations. The 2N3055 transistor is highlighted as a key component, with users seeking assistance on emitter connections and circuit schematics. Additionally, the use of the 4047 IC for oscillation and the LM324 IC for amplification is noted, indicating a practical approach to inverter design.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 2N3055 transistor operation
  • Familiarity with 4047 IC for generating oscillations
  • Knowledge of LM324 IC for signal amplification
  • Basic principles of AC-DC conversion and inverter design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research detailed circuit diagrams for 12V DC to 220V AC inverters
  • Study the role of filtering in inverter design
  • Learn about safety standards for AC mains connections
  • Explore practical applications of the 2N3055 transistor in power electronics
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists designing inverters, and engineers looking to deepen their understanding of power electronics and inverter technology.

First of all is your input AC or DC. Or just ACDC!

The design procedures for the vaious power levels varies quite a bit and is not somehting you can get by just 'googling it' The filter part of the circuit itself involves a lot of things. I suggest you catch hold of some expert or find a book written by an expert (not just theory, but practical also) to help you out.
 
We sure are getting a lot of questions about this lately. Ismail, please read this recent thread where we had a discussion about AC Mains safety:

After reading that, could you please post a bit here about your background in electronics and project construction, and where the inverters will be used? Thanks.
 
I am a new member i am working on one inverter but i am havering problems with connecting the emitters of the 2n3055 transistor to the negative terminal of the battery , can some help out with this please . Thank you

Here is an old inverter circuit used in the 1960's for Capacitor Discharge (CD) ignition circuits, using two 2N3055's. Note that this circuit is for 6-volt batteries.

bob s thank you for your reply but the information you sent me did not hepl me with the solution but all the same i am greatful to you , but i will be happy if you can send me the origanal schemetic diagrame of a 12vdc to 240vac inverter 5oow, i have some other diagrams but they did not work at all, this is the information of what i am working on, i used 4047 ic to create the oscillation , LM324 IC sound chip for amplifing the oscillation wave for the base of the 2n3055 transistors and a ups transformer for amplifing the voltage, but i used 1ohm or 0.047 ohm but on the diagram i was to use o.1 ohm resistor to connect the emitters to the nagative terminal it is because i did not get 0.1 ohm, please helpe to get the origanal information i will be more than greateful.
