AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on creating a DC-AC inverter circuit using LTSpice, with a focus on generating a pure sine wave output. Participants note that typical digital and switching designs produce square waves, suggesting the need for a different circuit topology to achieve a sine wave. The main oscillator in the referenced schematic is identified as an astable multivibrator, which may require further understanding. The original poster is a student working on a research project related to EV charging adapters, seeking to enhance their circuit simulation skills. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding circuit design and safety considerations in practical applications.

Hi, I'm looking to understand a circuit schematic on LTSpice. I'm trying to make my own DC-Ac Inverter circuit and am a bit lost, so am looking through the forums to find inspiration. I found the schematic below from an older forum post and am struggling to comprehend it. In an inverter circuit. I'm looking to make a pure sine wave.

Welcome to PF.

Everything is digital and switching, so the output will be a square wave, not a sine wave.
You will need a different circuit topology to generate a sine wave.
What exactly do you not understand about the circuit ?
 
The main oscillator is an astable multivibrator. Try this link to understand how it works.

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?

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.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
