Power Inverters (12 VDC to 220 VAC) UPS
Power inverter (UPS) is a very useful device
which can convert Low voltage from a DC source to high voltage AC. The most
common power inverter is 12V to 240V inverter. Perhaps that is because 12V
batteries are common. This type of power inverter usually draws current from a
DC battery. This battery should be able to provide a high flow of electric
current. Normally lead acid batteries can server this purpose well. This
current is then converted to 240V square wave alternative current so that we
may empower those electric appliances which work on 240V instead of 12V.
Inverter falls in the category of expensive devices so many people don’t buy
them even they need them. What if I tell you how to build an inverter yourself?
There are a lot of inverter circuit diagrams
available online; some of them are complex and others are low performance. I
designed my own inverter circuit which is comparable to any professionally made
inverter but still is simple enough for you to try.
You will need the
following parts.
·
Transformer 12+12/220
(50W) ( you can make your own inverter transformer
·
2, metter copper wire
(for winding)
·
2 Transistors 1047
·
2 Heat sinks to fit
power transistors
·
Some wiring wire (for
connections)
·
A wiro-board (To build
circuit on)
·
A 12V battery of 12V
power supply for testing purposes
·
1 Resisters 1 k
Method:
First of all you have to make some changes in
transformer. If u are using 500 V transformer then take 18 to 22 gauge copper
wire and on the one side of transformer’s core make five turn and put a
point on it, and turn this point, and again turn the wire five times on the
same direction. In this way u get three terminals. If u r connect the
transformer to 220 V power supply then it gives 1.5 V on both terminals. Now
put transformer D1047 on the palm of your hand and turn it such a way that
number appears your way. Now you will see three points. The point on your left
side is known as (B) Base, middle one is E and the right one is collector(C).
(These are the information only for D1047)
connect the E of both sides of transistors
with the outer terminal of secondary coil, after that connect the both outer
terminals of the third coil with the base of the both heat sinks of transistor.
then connect the collectors of both side by wires n then connect the 500 ohm
resistor on emitter and resistor on either side. Now connect the middle
terminal of primary coil by one to two ft long wire and clip (crocodile) it and
attach this terminal always by the positive terminal, and with the negative
terminal of battery connect the both collectors of transistor.
After that the central point of the third coil
and a wire attach it with emitter to connect using a heavy ampere switch
between both terminals of the Inverter primary coil to apply a capacitor which
will prevent the current from the sparking. inverter will switch on as soon
as starting to work.
Working:
With both the terminals of battery connect the
positive and negative wires to its terminals positive to positive and negative
to negative and then open the switch, slightly vibration starts in the inverter
as switch is open. Now you can run it into 1 to 500 watt load.
This inverter also can charge
the batteries, you just need to( on and off) the switch.
Charging:
You will need to switch off for battery
charging and connect the primary coil indirectly with 220 V of power supply,
after that battery will start charging. To converts it into UPS you needs only
one relay. These relays are AC 220 V and 4.4 terminals.
