What is a 12V DC to 220V AC inverter?

The 12V DC to 220V AC inverter circuit is designed using IC CD4047. The IC CD4047 acts as a switching pulse oscillating device. The n-channel power MOSFET IRFZ44n acts as a switch. The 12-0-12V secondary transformer inversely used as a Step-up transformer from converting low AC to High Ac.

How a voltage driven inverter circuit works?

Here, a simple voltage driven inverter circuit using power transistors as switching devices is build, which converts 12V DC signal to single phase 220V AC. The basic idea behind every inverter circuit is to produce oscillations using the given DC and apply these oscillations across the primary of the transformer by amplifying the current.

How to convert 12V to 220V?

F = 1/ (1.38*R2*C1) The inverting signals from the oscillator are amplified by the Power MOSFETS T1 and T4. These amplified signals are given to the step-up transformer with its center tap connected to 12V DC. The turns ratio of the transformer must be 1:19 in order to convert 12V to 220V.

Why do you need an inverter circuit?

Inverters are often needed at places where it is not possible to get AC supply from the Mains. An inverter circuit is used to convert the DC power to AC power. Inverter Circuit are very much helpful to produce high voltage using low voltage DC supply or Battery. DC-DC Converter circuit can also be used but it has certain voltage limitations.

How many components does a 220V AC circuit need?

Just 12 volts and we can get 220V AC at the output. So, maybe the question arises that the circuit then needs a lot of components to boost up the voltage. But, no! the circuit is so simple that it only needs four components. But how? We will get the answer to this question while making the circuit.

What are the different types of inverters?

Inverters can be of two types True/pure sine wave inverters and quasi or modified inverters. These true /pure sine wave inverters are costly ,while modified or quasi inverters are inexpensive. These modified inverters produce a square wave and these are not used to power delicate electronic equipments .
