Have you ever wanted to run a TV, stereo or other appliance while on the road or camping? Well, this inverter should solve that problem. It takes 12 VDC and steps it up to 120 VAC. The wattage depends on which tansistors you use for Q1 and Q2, as well as how "big" a transformer you use for T1. The inverter can be constructed to supply anywhere from 1 to 1000 (1 KW) watts. Important: If you have any questions or problems with the circuit, see the forum topic linked to in the Notes section. It will answer all your questions and provide links to many other (and better) inverter circuits. |

| I once bought an inverter on the internet. After a few days, it stopped working. I checked the output..behold, the Neutral and Live on the socket were both LIVE! what could possibly have gone wrong? Regards, Ax | ||
| If you guys want to test your own substitutions then I recommend you download NI Circuit Design Suite and Multisim. I put this circuit together with this program and set the parameters for the type of xformer and am get a fluctuating value of around 148 to around 158 v. | ||
| Dear sir, I m fail to arrange 68uf Tantulam capacitor, please let me know the susbtitute of this. Thanking you | ||
| You MUST get the POLARITY CORRECT or they will blow up! | ||
| hi.. can you give a clearer name for "HEP 154 Silicon Diode" so i could buy it.. i just told the store that name his answer was there no diode like that.. i hope that you give me a clearer name soon.....for instance 1n4005 | ||
