Simple 500 Watt Inverter Circuit Diagram
Friday, September 26, 2014 | Labels: 500, circuit, diagram, inverter, simple, watt | 0 comments |This is a Simple 500 Watt Inverter Circuit Diagram. Power inverter is a very useful device which can convert Low voltage from a DC source to high voltage AC. The most common power inverter is 12V to 240V inverter. Perhaps that is because 12V batteries are common. This type of power inverter usually draws current from a DC battery. This battery should be able to provide a high flow of electric current. Normally lead acid batteries can server this purpose well. This current is then converted to 240V square wave alternative current so that we may empower those electric appliances which work on 240V instead of 12V. Inverter falls in the category of expensive devices so many people don’t buy them even they need them. What if I tell you how to build an inverter yourself?
Simple 500 Watt Inverter Circuit Diagram
I remember when I build my first inverter, I was very happy and I invited a lot of friends to see my homemade inverter. I am sure you will feel the same. Before you start building this inverter circuit diagram, I want to mention that this circuit involves 240V and 500W which can be fatal. You should take all security precautions before building this circuit. Preferably use electricity protective gloves and try not to play with the inverter circuit when it is operational. You will need little to medium knowledge of electronics in order to build this circuit. Alright, let us get to work. There are a lot of inverter circuit diagrams available online; some of them are complex and others are low performance. I have researched on a lot of them but in the end, I designed my own inverter circuit which is comparable to any professionally made inverter but still is simple enough for you to try
NOTE:
There is only one variable resistance in this circuit diagram which is used to adjust frequency of 240V AC output current. You should have a frequency meter to adjust this frequency of 50HZ to 60HZ as per your requirement. Please do not power up any device with your inverter before frequency adjustment because a wrong AC frequency can burn your equipment as well as your inverter.
I have used a two stage regulated power supply to avoid frequency changes with the drop of battery voltage. First stage is 7809 which is a standalone voltage regulator. It converts 12V DC to 9V DC. Then we have used a 22 Ohm resistor and then a zener diode of 8.2V which forces current to stay at 8.2V. The 22 Ohm resistor is there just to aid zener diode. The output frequency of this inverter circuit is square wave so it is not best to power up inductive loads so use it at your own risk. However I do power up fans at home using this inverter and I never had any problems other than a little decrease in fan speed and addition of a little noise

This DC to AC inverter circuit work based on unstable multi vibrator does. In this circuit, IC CD4047 is chosen as a heart of unstable multivibrator, because this IC type gives a complementary output that has opposite phase to another ( pin 10 and 11 as seen in Figure 1), and has 50 % duty cycle that satisfy to generate a pulse for inverter.
Inverter Overload Protector With Delayed Auto Rest
Saturday, April 13, 2013 | Labels: auto, delayed, inverter, overload, protector, rest, with | 0 comments |An overload condition in an inverter may permanently damage the power transistor array or burn off the transformer. Some of the domestic inverters sold in the market do not feature an overload shutdown facility, while those incorporating this feature come with a price tag.the circuit presented here is an overload detector which shuts down the inverter in an overload condition.
Inverter Overload Protector With Delayed Auto Rest Circuit diagram:
It hasthe following desirable features:
- It shuts down the inverter and also provides audio-visual indication of the overload condition.
- after shutdown, it automatically restarts the inverter with a delay of 6 seconds. thus, it saves the user from the inconvenience caused due to manually resetting the system or running around in darkness to reset the system at night.
- It permanently shuts down the inverter and continues to give audio warning, in case there are more than three successive overloads. Under this condition, the system has to be manually reset.(Successive overload condition indicates that the inverter output is short-circuited or a heavy current is being drawn by the connected load.)
Inverter Overload Protector With Delayed Auto Rest
The circuit uses an ammeter (0-30a) as a transducer to detect overload condition. Such an am-meter is generally present in almost all inverters. this ammeter is connected between the negative supply of the battery and the inverter, as shown in Fig. 2. the voltage developed across this ammeter, due to the flow of current, is very small. It is amplified by IC2, which is wired as a differential amplifier having a gain of 100. IC3 (NE555) is connected as a Schmitt ‘trigger’, whose output goes low when the voltage at its pin 2 exceeds 3.3V. IC4 (again an NE555 timer) is configured as a monostable multivibrator with a pulsewidth of 6 seconds. IC5 (CD4017) is a CMOS counter which counts the three overload conditions, after which the sys-tem has to be reset manually, by pressing push-to-on switch S1. the circuit can be powered from the inverter battery. In standby condition, it consumes 8-10 ma of current and around 70 mA with relay (RL1), buzzer (PZ1), and LED1 energised.
Please note the following points carefully:
- Points A and B at the input of IC2 should be connected to the corresponding points (A and B respectively) across the ammeter.
- Points C and D on the relay terminals have to be connected in series with the already existing ‘on’/‘off’ switch leads of inverter as shown in Fig. 1. this means that one of the two leads terminated on the existing switch has to be cut and the cut ends have to be connected to the pole and N/O contacts respectively of relay RL1.
- The ammeter should be connected in series with the negative terminal of the battery and inverter, as shown in Fig. 2.Move the wiper of preset VR1 to the extreme position which is grounded. Switch ‘on’ the inverter. For a 300W inverter, connect about 250-260W of load. Now adjust VR1 slowly, until the inverter just trips or shuts down. repeat the step if necessary. Use good-quality preset with dust cover (e.g. multiturn trimpot) for reliable operation.the circuit can be easily and success-fully installed with minimum modifications to the existing inverter. all the components used are cheap and readily avail-able. the whole circuit can be assembled on a general-purpose PCB. The cost of the whole circuit including relay, buzzer, and PCB does not exceed Rs 100.
