How to design dc to ac inverter

AI Thread Summary
Designing a DC to AC inverter requires a solid understanding of electronics and specific design knowledge. It's advisable to seek guidance from experienced professionals, especially if you're new to inverter design. Resources like component kits and printed circuit patterns can simplify the process. Companies such as Linear Technologies offer support through applications engineers who can provide valuable insights. Engaging with these resources can enhance your design efforts effectively.

I've never designed an inverter. One reason is that while I was an engineer at Motorola, I had a summer intern, a student from MIT, working for me. When we decided to design an inverter she told me I should call her dad for some pointers. Her dad happened to be vice president of the division at Motorola that made ballasts for florescent lights which are really inverters. So I called him. He asked me if I'd ever designed an inverter before and I said no. He said, "If you've never designed an inverter before, don't." and that was that.

At that time Motorola offered kits with all the components and a printed circuit pattern for doing your own PC board. You might look for something like that. Another company that sells a lot of components for inverters is Linear Technologies. Call them and ask to speak with an applications engineer. He'll be able to help you.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
