This discussion focuses on creating a DC-AC inverter circuit using LTSpice, specifically aiming for a pure sine wave output. Participants emphasize that a digital switching design typically produces a square wave, necessitating a different circuit topology for sine wave generation. The main oscillator in the proposed circuit is identified as an astable multivibrator. The conversation also touches on the importance of understanding AC mains circuits and safety considerations for those intending to build and test the circuit.
PREREQUISITESElectrical engineering students, hobbyists designing inverter circuits, and professionals working on EV charging solutions will benefit from this discussion.
Is your aim to just understand a circuit and get a good LTSpice simulation running, or do you intend to actually build and test the circuit? If the latter, what experience do you have with AC Mains circuits and the related safety considerations?NightStar said:
I'm a student working on a research project with an Electrical Engineering professor focused on EV Charging adapters. I'm trying to convert power from an NACS charger to be compatible with a J1772 charging port. I'm trying to simulate an inverter circuit to get a better understandinng of circuits as a whole.berkeman said:
