ben23 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 ok, this is how i think a 12v to 240v (or 120v for the US) ac inverter works12 volts goes into amplification circuit (solid state, and a DC-AC rectification circuit (multivibrator?)amplified and rectified current is "forced" into 12 - 0 - 12 to 120 or 240 v step up conventional or toroidal transformer.correct me if im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Nope. Not in simple square-wave inverters.There is no rectifier. A rectifier converts AC to DC. The big battery is already DC.There is no amplifier. The transformer steps-up the voltage.An oscillator (also called a multivibrator) with very high input and output currents has two opposite outputs that drive the center-tapped low voltage winding (12 - 0 - 12) of a stepup transformer.
