Designing 12V DC-220V AC Power Inverters

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the design of 12V DC to 220V AC power inverters, specifically focusing on various power levels (2000, 3000, 5000, and 10000 watts). Participants seek circuit diagrams and detailed descriptions, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of inverter design.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Ismail Dari requests circuit diagrams and detailed descriptions for designing inverters of various power levels.
  • One participant questions whether the input is AC or DC and emphasizes that design procedures vary significantly, suggesting consulting an expert or practical literature.
  • A participant references a previous thread on AC mains safety, asking Ismail to provide more background on his electronics experience and the intended use of the inverters.
  • Another new member expresses difficulty in connecting the emitters of 2N3055 transistors to the negative terminal of the battery and seeks assistance.
  • A participant shares an old inverter circuit used in 1960s capacitor discharge ignition circuits, noting it is designed for 6-volt batteries.
  • Ismail expresses gratitude for the previous reply but indicates that the information did not resolve his issue, requesting the original schematic diagram for a 12V DC to 240V AC inverter and detailing his current circuit components and challenges.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the specific design approach or solutions to the problems raised, with multiple participants offering different perspectives and suggestions.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not resolved the specific technical challenges related to the inverter design, and there are varying levels of expertise and experience among them.

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.
