| Its only rated at 48VA at 110V you'll only be able to pull 0.44A off of it. |

Hello Dear All,
Please help me to build a simple inverter just to use with my satellite receiver which operates on 110V-to-220V AC with marely 30-35W consumption.
Actually I want step up 12V DC to 110-120V AC for the load of 30-35W.
If anybody got working inverter circuits please post it here or send it to NASHOT(at)GMAIL.COM
Thanks in Advance. |

| HELLO AUDIOGURU,I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH YOUR WORKS AND I THINK U MIGHT BE OF HELP TO ME.I AM SO GALD I GOT A SITE LIKE THIS.I GOT AN INVERTER WHICH I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BUILD BUT IT BURNS OUT MY OSCILLATOR.I GOT THE INVERTER CIRCUIT FROM THIS SITE:http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/power/033/index.html.PLEASE I DONT KNOW IF U HAVE MODIFICATIONS TO THE INVERTER.I WANT TO BUILD A 12VDC--220VAV,1000W POWER SUPPLY.THANKS IN ANTICIPATION.KENNEDY. |

Hi Kennedy,
That 500W inverter had many mistakes. I fixed it two years ago but a moderator there recently changed it so it doesn't work any more. Here is my fixed one. For 1000W it needs many more transistors and 100A from the 12V battery. Its output is a square-wave.

| Hello mr.audioguru,i am so happy!!!!!!i cant express my gratitude,but audioguru,what if i replace the 2n3055 bjt transistors with mosfet transistors,will it be okay?i love very much.have a lovely day...kenny |

| This power inverter uses ordinary cheap transistors because Mosfets are not available everywhere. Mosfets are much better but the circuit for them must be completely different. |

| hello audioguru,i appreciate what u're saying,it making me understand why my circuit burns out.but audioguru,i prefer using mosfets transistors,i like to have the circuit using mosfets transistors.i love u,kenny. |

| hello audioguru,i also need to know why u cant simply use that circuit diaram,becos i found a mosfet that has same properties with the bjt transistor.ken |

A 2N3055 power transistor conducts 8A when its base-emitter voltage is typically 1.4V.
A power Mosfet is turned on when its gate-source voltage is 10V. A few "logic level" power Mosfets turn on when their gate-source voltage is 4V.
Mosfets switch much faster than transistors. Therefore a special circuit must be made so that one turns off first before the other one turns on. Or else both are turned on at the same time creating a dead short across the battery with hundreds of Amps of current.
Gary has many projects and one is a Mosfet square-wave inverter with a max power of 500w.

| hello \,audioguru,are u very sure if that circuit works very well.i am using it for a project work and dont have enough money to play with.but do u still think the bjt transistors can work perfectly well without any problems.love u,ken. |

| hi all, a resistor is 04.7ohm would 4.7 k ohm would this be the same. |

No, 4.7k ohm is 47000 ohms
0.47 ohm is less than 1 ohm |

| The 500W inverter circuit that I posted has a square-wave output. Lots of things don't operate properly with a square-wave. The inverter is used in The Philippines to power fluorescent tube lights and multi-voltage TVs. it could also power heating appliances. |

12/120V inverter again
