    This is a heavy duty design of a Pulse Width Modulator DC/AC inverter usingthe chip SG3524 .

    I've been using it as a backup to power up all my house when outages occur

    since aprox. 6 years non stop.

    If you like the work and intend to build the circuit don't forget to click on the

    "follow" button so I know how many people benefit from the design, Thanks.

    4/14

    Notes:

    1> The schematic circuit design is for a 250 watt output, while the pics are of my

    1500 watts inverter that i built, to increase the power of the circuit you have to

    add more of the Q7 and Q8 transistors in parallel, each pair you add will

    increase your power by 250 watts, ex: to get 750 watts of power from the

    inverter you need to add in parallel 2 of Q7 and 2 of Q8 to the original design.

    2>If you increase the power transistors you have to enlarge the T2 transformer

    to match the new needs, the circuit's transformer is rated 25 amps to handle 250watts of 220v, for every 1 additional amp you need on the 220v side you have to

    increase 10 amps on the 12v side, of course there are limits to the thickness of

    the winding so if you need more than 750 watts i recommend that you use a

    24VDC supply instead of 12 volts:

    DC voltage and Transformer " T2" winding recommendation:

    Power Supply Winding

    750w 12VDC P:24V "12-0-12" / S:220V

    1500w 24VDC P:48V "24-0-24" / S:220V

    2250w 36VDC P:72V "36-0-36" / S:220V

    3000w 48VDC P:96V "48-0-48" / S:220V

    3750w 60VDC P:120V "60-0-60" / S:220V

    4500w 72VDC P:144V "72-0-72" / S:220V

    5250w 84VDC P:168V "84-0-84" / S:220V

    *The transformer should be "center tapped" at the primary side.

    **You can make the secondary 110v if needed.

    ***The transformer in the pic is a custom made (48V center tapped / 220v ) 2000

    watts, weights like 10 kilos.

    3> R1 is to set the PWM duty cycle to 220v. Connect voltmeter to the output of

    your inverter and vary VR1 till the voltage reads 220V.

    4>R2 is to set the frequency to 50 or 60 Hz (R2 range is between 40Hz to

    75Hz), so guys that do not have a frequency meter are advised to blindly put this

    variable resistor mid-way which should drop you in the range of 50~60 Hz.

    If you want you can substitue the variable resistor with a fixed resistor using the

    following formula: F = 1.3 / (RxC)

    in our case to get a 50Hz output we remove both the 100K and the variable

    100K both from pin 6 and we put instead a 260K fixed resistor and we leave the

    0.1uF (the 104 cap) as it is, this change should give out a fixed 50Hz as per the

    formula :

    1.3 / (260,000 ohm x 0.0000001 farad) = 50Hz

    But in reality it will not exactly give 50Hz because the 260K resistor has a

    specific error value margin so does the capacitor, that's why i recommend a

    variable resistor so that accurate calibration can be achieved.

    5>Use either tantalum or polyester film "as in pic" for the 104 caps, ceramic disc

    caps change value once hot and this in turn changes the frequency of the

    inverter so they are not recommended.

    6> Pin 10 of the SG3524 can be used to auto shut down the inverter, once

    a positive voltage is given instead of negative to pin10, the SG3524 will stop

    oscillating. This is useful for persons wanting to add some cosmetic makeup to

    their inverters like overload cutoff, low battery cutoff or overheating cutoff.

    7>Wiring connections on the power stage side should be thick enough to

    handle the huge amps drain from the batteries. I marked them with dark black

    on the schema also I included a pic so you see how thick those wires must be.

    8> The design does not include a battery charger since each person will be

    building a custom version of the inverter with specific power needs. If you are

    ordering a custom made transformer you can ask them to take out for you an

    additional output wire on the primary side to give 14v (between point 0 and this

    new wire) and use it to charge a 12v battery, of course this needs a seperate

    circuit to control charging auto cut-off. But anyway this is not advisable because

    it will shorten the life of the transformer itself since using it as a charger will toast

    the enamel coating layer of the copper wires over time. Anyway .. YES can be

    done to reduce cost.

    9>A cooling fan will be needed to reduce heat off the heat sinks and

    transformer, i recommend getting a 220v fan and connecting it to the output T2

    transformer, when you power up the circuit the fan will start this will always give

    you a simple way to know that 220v is present and everything is OK.. You can

    use a computer's old power supply fan if you like.

    Note that the fan must suck air out from the inverter case and NOT blow inside,

    so install it the correct way or it will be useless.Also note how I fixed both the heat sinks and where the fan is, in a way that the

    fan sucks hot air from like a channel between the 2 heatsinks.

    10>2 circuit breakers are recommended instead of fuses, one on the DC side

    and one on the AC side, depending on your design

    Ex: for a 24vDC ( 1500 watts design ) put a 60Amp breaker on the DC side and

    a 6Amp on the AC side.

    For every 1amp of 220vAC you will be draining like 8 to 10 Amps from the 12v

    battery, make your calculations !

    11>The 2 Heat sinks should be big enough to cool the transistors, they are

    separate and should NOT touch each other. "see the pics"

    12>Important: If you're building a big design that uses more than 24VDC as

    power source, make sure not to supply the driver circuit with more than 24v

    maximum. (EX: If you have 4 batteries 4x12 = 48v , connect the v+ supply of the

    driver circuit to the second battery's (+) terminal with a thin 1 mm wire which is

    more than enough. this supplies the driver circuit with +24v while supplies the

    power transformer with +48v) "see the batteries pic example"

    13>"Optional" : Deep Cycle batteries are your best choice, consider them for

    best results .. read more (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_cycle_battery)

    14>Be cautious when building this circuit it involves high voltage which is lethal,

    any part you touch when the circuit is ON could give you a nasty painful jolt,

    specially the heat-sinks, never touch them when the circuit is on to see if the

    transistors are hot !! I ate it several times :)

    15>The optional "Low voltage warning" is already embedded in the PCB layout,

    you can disregard it and not install it's components if you do not needed. It does

    not affect the functionality of the main circuit.

    16> The Motorola 2N6277 is a durable heavy duty power transistor, it is used in

    many US tanks for it's reliability but unfortunately it is a very hard to find

    part, instead you can substitute each 2N6277 with 2 x 2N3773 or any

    equivalent.

    17>I've included an optional "Battery level indicator" circuit diagram that has 4

    LEDs, you can see it installed on the front panel of my inverter pic, it is

    functioning great and shows precisely how much juice the batteries still have. I

    have included a small relay that is powered by the last LED to auto shutoff the

    inverter once last LED is off.

    18>Also included an optional "Overload circuit", it is very easy to build and can

    be calibrated to the desired overload current threshold cutoff point through the

    potentiometer VR1.

    R1 is rated 5watts for inverters upto 1000 watts. For bigger versions of the

    inverter like 1000 to 3000 watts inverters, replace R1 (1 ohm, 5watts) with (1

    ohm, 17watts) which should handle loads upto 10 VA.Make sure you install a proper relay to handle big current drains.

    19> Please guys t ake your time to read and understand my notes, browse

    and read the posts and questions asked by others because there are many

    useful information listed in replies. The main reason for me not

    answering your question is because it has already been asked before and

    Hi, it is Micheal

    I saw your design in here and i thought about trying it and fortunately i found your

    circuit already made in the market so i bought it ;)but after connecting it with transformer (50 Amps) and d313 and tip35 transistors i

    got low voltage "around 160v" and the low voltage alarm was already built in that

    circuit and it always keeps toning for no reason!!!

    can you please help me.. i tried to set the voltage to the higher and the frequency

    as well but the voltage didnt exceed 170v i added few capacitors at the output so i

    get 200v but it drops down to 170 when loaded with 100w lamp

    i've uploaded a pic.. please check it

    please any advise.. thank you very much

    hi..

    thank you for your note about the

    transistors..

    i replaced them with tip122 and

    2n3773 transistors

    but i still have low voltage...

    can i change the windings of my TS to

    9-0-9 ? do you think that this can solve

    the problem?

    and one more question please.. what

    can i do regarding the voltage

    decrease while connecting the load?

    1- does your 12v battery drop below

    12v when the inverter is on ?

    2- did you set the frequency 50Hz?

    3- did you regulate with R1 to get the

    voltage to 220v ?

    4- if you checked all the above and

    still your 220v drops, try to set the

    frequency to 60Hz

    5- send us feedback

    safeermaher (/member/safeermaher/) nickk

    Dear nick..

    thank you for your quick replies.. :)

    about your questions:

    1- i tried two batteries.. one of then

    doesn't drop below 12 while the

    other drops to 11.7v but both of the

    battery are doing great with

    commercial normal inverter 1000w

    2- the frequency was already set to

    50hz when i bought it.. but it didnt

    work well

    3- i regulated the R1 to maximum

    that what caused in that time about

    10v raise.

    4- i also set the R2 to maximum i

    got a naughty sound from the

    transformer in this case, but any

    way the voltage still low..

    i even tried an other TS made byother manufacturer and i still have

    the same problem..

    kindly awaiting for your replay :)

    50v should be ok

    ssr ivastava11 (/member/ssrivastava11/)

    hey Nick nice work

    I need some of your advice..!!

    I am planning to make 2kVA inverter for my solar panels.I have 250 watt 4 solar panel.

    The Voltage rating of each panel at full load is 37.15 volts

    The Current rating of each panel is 6.73 amps.

    On the AC side I have a load of a water pump (0.5~1 hp) + 200 watt load.

    My teachers told me to go for series connection for the solar panel since high

    voltage is easy to handle than high current.

    I don't have any battery system in my Inverter setup just the dc supply is given by

    solar panels.

    I would like your opinion and suggestions about it.

    Hello Nick,

    I have made the design you have posted and I was successful in getting a

    oscillating output from emitter A and emitter B from SG3524.I build a test power

    stage using a single pair of IRFZ44N mosfets for negative and positive half cycles

    respectively and used a 12-0-12 .5A small transformer for it.I have the following

    problem:

    WHen I connect the transformer to the supply,The primary reads 24VAC across as

    it should be but the secondary reads only 145VAC..I also checked the transformer

    at 220VAC output and it gave me exactly 24VAC on primary,so I am puzzled why I

    am getting 145VAC when primary is 24VAC,Is there any problem in flux generation

    for square wave signal???I am scratching my head..

    Hello Jawaaz,

    Please upload a photo of your setup.

    HEllo Mr. Nick,

    Well I have rectified my problem now,actually I was only getting 32hz of

    frequency and at that frequency ,the induction process fails and cannot

    transfer all of the potential to the secondary coil,so I increased the

    frequency to about 60hz and the voltage on secondary coil got increased to

    optimum level...I guess in a transformer,the voltage on output side is

    directly proportional to the frequency of the potential on primary side...SO

    FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING LESS OUTPUT VOLTAGE

    ON SECONDARY SIDE,TRY TO INCREASE THE FREQUENCY FROM

    50HZ TO 60HZ AND RECHECK YOUR SECONDARY VOLTAGE AFTER

    THAT...

    josfemi ( /member /jos femi/) Jawaaz

    i have never experience this before, if i increase my frequency my output

    voltage remain the same and if i decrease my out put voltage still remain

    the same

    Hi nickk,

    Plz i need ur clarification can i wind my inverter transformer to 310v at d output

    and brings it back to 220v using feedback to avoid voltagedrop at the output

    Plz what do i do to improve ur circuit so that pin10 should dectate low battery and

    shutdown

    nickk (/member/nickk/)(author) reach2beelal

    no it doesn't work this way. the 220v

    will not drop unless the battery starts

    to get empty, when this happens

    nothing will bring your 220 back.

    reach2beelal (/member/reach2beelal/) nickk

    Hi nickk

    What I mean is when I wound my

    transformer to 12v input and 230v

    output. When a connect the

    transformer and start d inverter it

    gives me 230v at the output BUT

    when I connect load at the output the

    voltage drops to less than the voltage

    without the load. The more I add the

    load the more voltage drops SO

    WHAT'S IS THE PROBLEM

    That is why Isaid if during winding I

    increased the number of turn is the

    secondary to reach may be 300v and

    the used ur circuit to brings it down to

    220v CAN THE INVERTER WORK

    FINE

    Need your urgent help & urgent advise for a Solution and possible root causes &

    reasons of my problem encountered here ?

    Can not obtain AC output Voltage 230V AC& Output Current 2A by using500VA(500W) 12V/230V TRANSFORMER . I hv completed building thecircuit accordingly but the maximum output voltage only 83V ( SecondaryWinding of T2 ) & maximum output current 0.06A only using Load 28W 230V

    AC Bulb Or 100W 230V AC Bulb,observation Bulb can light up dimly only.The Input Current of 8A (Ammeter Reading ) 12V at Primary Winding ofTransformer T2. The Transformer T2 used here bought from the shop is500VA(500 Watts) 12V/230V AC. Also Lead Acid Battery 12V DC 60A Maxused in this project.

    1.

    From the pin 14(SG3524) using Q2 BC337,Q4 TIP122,2N3055,4pcs 2N3773

    replaced the 2N6277 that is Not available from the shop and adding a small 0.1

    Ohms 10Watts Resistor in series with Primary Winding of Transformer T2.The

    Load 28W 230V AC Bulb can not be lighted up without added a 0.1 Ohms 10Watts

    Series Resistor. Why Need to add a 0.1 Ohms Resistor to primary winding of T2

    only to obtain the 83V Output Voltage ? Not Sure Why need this additional 0.1

    Ohms Resistor & Need Urgent Advise.

    Wherelse from your project Original Circuit do not require this additional 0.1 Ohms

    Resistor to T2 that can even produce Output Voltage 230V AC from Transformer

    T2 per your circuit description & explanation ?

    From pin 11(SG3524) using Q3 BC337,Q7 TIP122,2N3055,4pcs 2N3773 replaced

    2N6277 that is Not available from the shop.

    Attached the Photos of the 50 Hz [ Positive Cycle (pin14) & Negative Cycle (pin

    11)]

    Hope to hear from you all & thks in advance.

    instead of 50Hz which I presume you

    already did.

    Please send feedback.

    i m almost done in creating this circuit using mosfet IRFP250 as power stage but

    when i test the wattage the output is too low.

    1. is your figure for power stage using mosfet is the same output as power stage

    transistor.?

    2. and how many mosfet IRFP250 can generate 1000~1500 watt output?

    how much is (too low) ?, how many

    did you install in parallel and what

    were you expecting? how big is your

    power transformer?

    spilgrim1 (/member/spilgrim1/) nickk

    We can power a simple hand drill but when we test the fan an Electric fan it

    doesn't spin.we are making the inverter to work at atleast 1500 watts for aircondition

    unit.

    we install 6 parallel mosfets IRFP250 as seen on your diagram..

    our transformer is 12 0 12 6 amperes..

    should we replace the transformer?

    how many mosfets should we add to meed the atleast 1500 watts of

    output?

    nickk (/member/nickk/)(author) spilgrim1

    6 amperes ???? "if you read my note

    #10:

    "For every 1amp of 220vAC you will

    be draining like 8 to 10 Amps from

    the 12v battery, make your

    calculations !"

    for 1500w you'll need a 70 amperes

    trans. !

    johann es8316 (/member/johannes8316/)

    hey nick..there is a problem in the output of my circuit, when i turn on the device

    the output is 220 vac and then its suddenly drops to 110 vac.

    what do you think is cause of the problem?

    and

    if its ok for you, i will send my modified design.

    I am from (Kolkata) India. I am new here and new in electronics field, I have to

    complete my college project of 300 watt inverter..I have some question to

    complete this project, please sir help me to complete my 300 watt inverter.

    1) can i make 300 watt inverter from this circuit ?

    2) sir i have 12v 7.2AH SMF Battery, so can i use it for 300 watt inverter or i have

    to buy 12v car battery ?

    3) how many 2N6277 heavy duty power transistor, i will use for making 300 watt

    inverter from 12v battery?

    4) or if i have not found this 2N6277 transistor, then how many 2N3773 transistor

    will i use?

    4) for making 300 watt inverter from 12v battery, what is my transformer rating ? I

    mean to say what is the amp of my 12v transformer for making 300 watt inverter ?

    5) in the picture 220/12 0.5 Amp transformer is used. Is this used for battery

    charger? and 0.5Amp is equal to 500MA ?

    sorry for my bad English. please help me sir.

    Hi nickk, Plz I deed ur clarification on mosfet wattage n current rating becos am

    comfused. Some one told me EX. 1) If u build 1000w inverter u'll need 100amp

    current. So if u use IRFP150N which has( 100V,42A) So u assumed d current to b

    30A instead of 42A due to temperature therefore u'll have 30A * 4(mosfet) equal to

    120A on each side is it correct . 2) Or u'll have if d mosfet is

    IRFP150N(100V,42A,160W)frm d datasheet u will need 160w * 7(mosfets) equal

    to 1120w on each side forgetin about current. Sir which one is right
