inverter and transformer rating....

[ahmed hassan]

i have one question related to my circuit that i attached...

>>here some details about the circuit:

This is AC circuit mini inverter 10W - 30W. It Converts 12VDC to 220VAC Output 10W to 30W . Use easy Circuit Square Wave Oscillator Generator 50Hz. So Boost up Current High by D313 or H1061 or TIP41, Drive Transformer output 220V 50HZ From Voltage Supply 12V 1A - 2A.

my friend already succeed developed the circuit by using 12V/240V 0.5A transformer. the question is:

1. if want the output current higher than 0.5A (let say 1A), do i need to change the transformer rating from 0.5A to 1A?

2. the details of the circuit say that input voltage and current is 12V and 1-2A, but they are using 0.5A of fuse...i seem not understand how this happen because what i know the fuse is going to blow immediately by the effect of over the fuse rating .. or i misunderstood here?

thanks...

No it doesn't.

The input power cannot be any greater than 6W because the fuse is 0.5A and the voltage is 12V, 0.5

The 2SD313 output transistors operate poorly above 1A but still have some gain at 2A.
Then the output from the inverter will be 16W.

The 2SC1815 oscillator transistors have a max allowed reverse emitter-base voltage of only 5V but will have avalanche breakdown in this circuit that is missing protection diodes.

about the 1st question, here i edited because of typing error.

1. if i want the output current higher than 0.5A (let say 1A), do i need to change the transformer rating from 0.5A to 1.0A?

because i use motor (aquarium water pump) as load at the output inverter and the rating is 240V and 35W. base on my calculation, the current is 0.145A. what i know is the motor need inrush current to start operate. so, the total current is 0.145x7=1.02A. that why i need to increase the current up to 1A. or there is another way to increase the current?

thanks....

It is a garbage old fashioned circuit. Its output is only 80mA at 200VAC.

You should use MOSFETs instead of BJTs as they have a lower voltage drop.

Here's a schematic I found using Google.

You don't have to use all four MOSFETs, two will do as it's only lower power. I'd recommend using a 9V transformer because it's easier to get hold of and will give you closer to 12V out.

If the output power is 35W, the input power will be 42W (assuming 80% efficiency) because the using a centre tapped winding increases the copper losses you need to overrate it by √2 which means I would suggest using a 5A 9V-0-9V transformer.
