PROJECT TITLE:

“12V DC to 220VAC Inverter”

INTRODUCTION:

An inverter is a device that converts direct current (DC) into alternating

current (AC), commonly used in electrical power applications where AC power is
required but only DC power is available. It plays a crucial role in various systems,
including solar power systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and electric
vehicles, enabling the efficient and reliable conversion of energy.

OBJECTIVE:
To Design and develop an efficient and reliable inverter system capable
of converting DC to AC power.

COMPONENTS:
▪ Transformer with center tapped secondary winding
▪ 2 silicon PNP Power transistor (115W, 200oC)
▪ Resistors (68Ω, 68Ω,)
▪ Lamp/ Bulb
▪ 12V DC Battery
▪ Bread Board
▪ Connecting Wire

WORKING PRINCIPLE:

An inverter works by converting direct current (DC) into alternating

current (AC) using power electronic switches and control circuitry. It modulates
the magnitude and frequency of the AC output to produce a waveform that mimics
grid electricity, enabling compatibility with AC-powered devices and systems.
APPLICATIONS:

▪ Powering small household appliances like fans or lights during power outages.

▪ Running basic electronics such as laptops or mobile chargers in off-grid

settings.

▪ Operating small-scale DIY projects or hobbyist setups requiring AC power

from DC sources.

CONCLUSION:
In this project, we have learned how to make 12V DC to 220V AC
Inverter. Inverters play a vital role in converting DC to AC power, facilitating a
wide range of applications from residential to industrial sectors. Their versatility
and efficiency make them indispensable components in modern electrical systems.
