INTRODUCTION
Inverters are very useful electronics products for compensating emergency power failure, as it
performs DC to AC conversion.
AC cant be stored for future use but DC can be stored for future use in a battery. The stored DC
can be converted back to AC by using power inverters.
Here is the simple inverter circuit diagram using 555 timer IC. The astable multivibrator
mode operation of 555 timers utilized here for AC oscillations and these oscillations are switched
via transistor 2SC4029 to a transformer. The transformer step ups the voltage to 220V AC. Use a
12V battery and Battery charger circuit for this project.

WORKING OF DC TO AC INVERTER

This is a simple inverter circuit based on 555 timer IC. Here timer IC wired as an astable
multivibrator mode.

Here the oscillation frequency is set to 50Hz, supply frequency in India.

The diode 1N4007 is used to get 50% duty cycle for the pulses from 555, it also reduces
the design complexity.

The output pulse from the 555 astable multivibrator is fed to the base of power transistor
2N5192. The 2N5192 transistor works as a switch, so the 12V DC supply passed through
the transformer at a rate of 50 times per second.

Transformer step up the 12V to 220V, thus we got 50Hz, 220VAC supply at the output of
transformer secondary.

Use a 12V battery along with a battery charger circuit to power this DC to AC inverter.

DESCRIPTION
Inverter circuit 12 volt DC to 220 volt AC above is divided into sections that can be described as
follows.
Wave generator section or multivibrator using a 555 timer IC as an astable multivibrator is set to
the desired operating frequency 100-120 Hz which can be setup through 100 kohm potentiometer
P1. This wave function generator circuit to generate pulse inverter power transistor driver.
Astable multivibrator operating frequency is set to 100-120 Hz because it is used to provide
input to the Flip-Flop Togle IC4013 which serves as a solver output pulse frequency driver with
0.5 times the input frequency.
Power inverter driver section serves to divide 2 pulse power transistor driver for inverter with
input from the wave generator circuit IC 555. Positive pulse and negative pulse is always
opposite the output transistors Q and Q sehignga power inverter will work alternately.
Power inverter section is constructed from Darlinton MJ3001 transistor that will provide
transformers to drive untukmenghasilkan 220 volt AC output voltage. Power inverter section is
constructed of 2 pieces of transistor MJ3001 and tranformer CT.
The circuit inverter 12 volt to 220 volt AC source voltage can be supplied from an
accumulator 12 volt VCC through an inverter circuit 12V to 220VAC.
