Working of D.C to A.C Inverters:

Electromagnetic induction is the main underlying
principle in the working of the dc to ac inverters.
The Transistors Q1,Q2 and the Transformer T1
determine the power output of the inverter.
The bigger the Transformer and more powerful the
Transistors the more power output is obtained.
The inverter requires steady supply of current
which is provided by the Lead-Acid Batteries(as it
operates at high wattages).

The inverters use electro mechanical

switch , to immediately switch to the mode
of discharging circuit of the inverter as
soon as there is a power cut.
This technique uses electro magnetic force
to either make or break the circuit, i.e to
switch it on or off.

Within the Transformer, there are two coils

namely primary and secondary coils.
Number of turns in each of these coils is
significant .
let the number of turns in and e.m.f of the
primary and secondary coils be N1,E1 &
N2,E2;

Then they satisfy the relation :

E2= -(N2/N1)E1
On the basis of the above relation ,the
voltage output is determined.

NOTE: Tantalum capacitors are used instead

of other capacitors because they do
not have regular electrolytes which
possibly over heat and explode.
