Micro Inverter

This document describes a simple low-power inverter circuit that converts 12V DC to 230V AC using an LM317 integrated circuit and can power small loads. It has two stages: a battery charger circuit and a battery level indicator/inverter circuit. The inverter circuit uses a CD4047 integrated circuit wired as a multivibrator to drive MOSFETs in a push-pull configuration and produce a 50Hz output filtered by a capacitor. It can be modified to provide higher power by adding more MOSFETs and a higher current transformer.

Micro Inverter

Rohan B. Rebello

simple low-power inverter circuit is described here, which converts

12V DC into 230V AC. It can be used to power very light loads like night lamps and cordless telephones,but can be modified into a powerful inverter by adding more MOSFETs. This circuit has two stages-battery charger with cut-off, and battery level indicator and inverter circuit.Charging circuit is built around IC1 (LM317) as shown in Fig. 1. When mains 230V AC is available, IC1 provides gate voltage to SCR1 (TYN616) through diode D3 (1N4007). SCR1 starts charging the battery. For output voltage setting preset VR1 may be used.

The battery level indicator and inverter circuit is shown in Fig. 2. The battery level checking system is built around transistors T1 and T2 (both BC547) along with some discrete components. When the battery is charged (say, to more than 10.50V), LED1 glows and piezo-buzzer PZ1 does not sound. On the other hand, when battery voltage goes down (sayk, below 10.50V),LED1 stops glowing and piezo-buzzer sounds, indicating that the battery has been discharged and needs recharging for further use.The inverter is built around IC2 (CD4047), which is wired as an astable multivibrator operating at a frequency of around 50 Hz. The Q and Q outputs of IC2 directly drive power MOSFETs (T3 and T4). The two MOSFETs (IRFZ44) are used in push-pull configuration. The inverter output is filtered by capacitor C1.

Assemble the circuit on a general-purpose PCB and enclose it in a suitable metal box. Refer Fig. 3 for pin configurations before mounting the components on the PCB. Mount the transformer on the chassis and the battery in the box using supporting clamps. Use suitable heat-sinks for MOSFETs. The circuit can be used for other applications as well by delivering higher power with the help of a higher current rating transformer and additional MOSFETs.
