100 Watt inverter circuit
100 Watt Inverter
Description
Here is a 100 Watt inverter circuit using minimum number of components.I think it is quite difficult to make a decent one like this with further less components.Here we use CD 4047 IC from Texas Instruments for generating the 100 Hz pulses and four 2N3055 transistors for driving the load.
The IC1 Cd4047 wired as an astable multivibrator produces two 180 degree out of phase 100 Hz pulse trains.These pulse trains are preamplifed by the two TIP122 transistors.The out puts of the TIP 122 transistors are amplified by four 2N 3055 transistors (two transistors for each half cycle) to drive the inverter transformer.The 220V AC will be available at the secondary of the transformer.Nothing complex just the elementary inverter principle and the circuit works great for small loads like a few bulbs or fans.If you need just a low cost inverter in the region of 100 W,then this is the best.

100 Watt Inverter Circuit Diagram
Notes.
- A 12 V car battery can be used as the 12V source.
- Use the POT R1 to set the output frequency to50Hz.
- For the transformer get a 9-0-9 V , 10A step down transformer.But here the 9-0-9 V winding will be the primary and 220V winding will be the secondary.
- If you could not get a 10A rated transformer , don’t worry a 5A one will be just enough. But the allowed out put power will be reduced to 60W.
- Use a 10 A fuse in series with the battery as shown in circuit.
- Mount the IC on an IC holder.
- Remember,this circuit is nothing when compared to advanced PWM inverters.This is a low cost circuit meant for low scale applications.
Inverter Design Tips.
The maximum allowed output power of an inverter depends on two factors.The maximum current rating of the transformer primary and the current rating of the driving transistors.
For example ,to get a 100 Watt output using 12 V car battery the primary current will be ~8A ,(100/12) because P=VxI.So the primary of transformer must be rated above 8A.
Also here ,each final driver transistors must be rated above 4A. Here two will be conducting parallel in each half cycle, so I=8/2 = 4A .
These are only rough calculations and enough for this circuit.

Hi Imteaz A small change to be carried out in the circuit for proper operation. Shift +12 volt to fuse. include 470 ohms between fuse and supply of IC 4047 (between fuse and zener with 220uF capacitor). Add 4700uF 25volt capacitor in parallel with 0.1uF capacitor between centre tap of out put transformer and supply negative, nearer to 2N3055 emitter resistance(in other words in parallel with D1 BY127). You can connect 2 more 2N3055 also Q1 and Q2 can take care. IC can give a drive of 1mA which is sufficient to drive 4 to 5 2N3055 transistors through TIP122. Do not forget emitter resistance for 2N3055s. Increase fuse rating to 20Amps. Out put transistors wire dressing will be critical and important be careful.
I have been trying to build the inverters as a side project and I used both your 100W schematic and the 60W schematic and purchased everything as you have them. I put it all together but am getting nothing when I put the 12V to them. Do you have a troubleshoot guide that I can see. I have gone over each connection several times and it is as it shows on the schematic. Please reply soon. Thank you.
Please read my comment dated 2nd May 2010. Carryout those modification. this is the best circuit for your UPS.
i want to make small ups… is that circuit absolutely right to implement..?????
pls Sir I need the details of the function of each component and all possible calculation done on the circuit, why the component are there and why that value. I really need it urgent for my project defence at school. I mean the 100 watt inverter. Thnx Sir, God bless you.
kindly provide me the proper PCB layout of the diagram
Send me 500w circuit
i need to know that how much load a circuit can drive(100w inverter)?
means how many fans and energy saver for how much time can be drive
Hi Musthafa 0.022 is 22nF (22KPF or 22000PF). Measure the voltage at Pin No 10 and 11 with respect to common negative. If oscillator is running the DC voltage should be half the supply voltage. If R1 is kept at minimum value the frequency will be less and you can see the voltage at Pin 10 & 11 raising and lowering (with an analog meter the needle will kick). If the voltage at Pin no 10 & 11 are either high or low continuously, indicates the oscillator is not running.
Thanks Frnd,How to check Ic4047 is working or not,And equvilant value of capacitor 0.022uf
Hi Musthafa you can use 1N5408 for BY127 R2 and R3 can 1/4 watt better use 1/2 watt as per ADM recommendation.
CD4047 10 & 11 are complimentary out put to drive output pair. 7,8 and 9 are connected ground (-ve of the supply)
4,5,6 and 15 should go to the +ve of the supply

THAT NYC CKT ……THANX FOR THE HELP…
Thanks for sharing your thought. I’m planning to make an inverter using this circuit diagram. I hope you will give me more guides and tips on making this kind of inverter.
Hi, I want to make a 100 watt/12v inverter using high frequency trunsformer with common parts available in local market.please send me the document datails by e-mail.
imameasterndevice@yahoo.com
sir i can’t connect the output to the main because it may cause over load, can i use one diode in out put terminal and it connect to the main or you suggest me a solution
R2 and R3 can be of 1/2 W
Hi Akash 1/4 watt will do.
thank you sir and one more doubt what is the wattage of R2&R3
Hi Akash 100watts say efficiency is 80% 125VA input to final transformer. That is 12 volt at 10Amps approx. So for 1hr 10AH battery. for 3hrs 30AH battery. standard car batteries are 12 volt 40AH. you can use them. the cost of battery is around INR2500 and the inverter electronics with torroidal trasformer may cost you around INR700
sir i need 3 hour back up which battery can use,what is the total cost for this inverter
Hi Thilina you want the circuit or assembled emergency lamp itself
Can someone please send me an emergency lamp. that can be run at least 2hrs , using 6V battery, and mobility
Hi Vivek Mount one group of transistors in one heat sink directly. insulate heat sinks from chassis. Wire the IC in a standard pc board and inter connect. Regarding power supply modification please refer to my comment dated 2nd May. without the modifications you will blow the zener diode.
please tall me layout of 100w inverter. and how can i make it.
Hi Ruchir pl refer my earlier comment on may 2nd.even after modifying if it is not working, check the output at cd4047 pin 10 and 11. if there is no output the IC may be defective or the timing components are not properly getting connected.
Hi Gopi refer my earlier comment dated aug 23rd. for 3 hours at the rate of 14 amp consumption you require a 42AH battery. 40 amps SMF car battery can be used will cost you around INR4300/- (Amron, Std, Exide etc)
pls how may i get a design of 5000watts mosfet or any other type of power inverter. but it most be up to 5000watts,wit the components well indicated.countin on u hopefully. Tanx
sir i need 3 hours backup for the inverter, what is the AH of the battery?, what is the cost for it? Please give me reply…
hey my inverter is not even working….. checked all the components four times…. please suggest me a way out….
Hi Anoop Q5 & Q6 are also 2N3055 like Q3 & Q4. Say inverter efficiency is 80% for 100 watts load you require 125VA input with 12 volt battery you require 14 Amps current. Hence with 7AH battery you will get approximately just less than 30minutes.
Hi Imran You can change the frequency to your requirement with pot R1. Zener to regulate the supply to the IC oscillator so that its frequency output is stable. There is a mistake in the circuit refer to my earlier comments on 2nd May.
Hi! Wil u please tell u know about the function of zener diode n can v replace the ic cause its in astable mood so v can use any in this mood……n y here 2 100hetz in this y not 120hetz… Please give me reply…
Hi, Can you tell me the values Q5 and Q6 and calculate the working hours of 100w equipment with 12volt,7Ah battery? please
Hi Daniel battery DC to covert to AC there will be a loss of 25% and again convert AC to DC and charge battery another 25% loss. Hence this is not viable proposition. It is something like connecting motor to dynamo mechanically and connecting dynamo and motor electrically thinking that it is perpetual and run for ever if you take all the losses into consideration this is not viable. Say even if it is 100% efficient what are you going to achieve, you cannot tap power from the system due this loss the system will collapse.
I am thinking of designing an inverter in which its output(AC),is fed back to charge the battery when it undergoes low voltage and vise versa,and this oscillation goes on continuously,ie,automatically.
Can you provide me a full circuit diagram with parts list?
Thank you in advance.
Daniel.

Can I increase wattage by adding another 2N3055 parallel to these two. If so is there any other changes required (for Q1, Q2, R2, R3)?
Will it be very harmful if I use 120W load?
Hi Sat the ampere hour capacity is given on the battery by the manuacturer. If you use 6 volt 7 ah two numbers in series, then 12 volt 7ah will be the capacity of the battery.
Hai,how to check the battery ah,
i have connect the two 6v battery whether, the 12v battery

Can the watt of this inverter be increased? Can I use powerful transistor to increase wattage? What kind of wave output of this circuit (sine or square)?
Can any one give me the pcb layout of 100watt inverter..Its an urgent…Plz
thanx a lot:-))
Hi Pin 14 should be connected to plus 12 volt supply. 12 & 13 not to be used as we donot require those functions. If you have a multimeter you can check the out put voltage connect a 60Watt bulb and try whether the glow is not flickering. if you have a frequency meter check for the frequency at the out put. if you do not have any test gear connect a bulb if it is glowing alright, connect a 230V 50Hz table fan to the inverter output and slowly turn the frequency pot till the fan speed gets peaked(runs almost at the same speed like when it is connected to mains supply). in this crude method you can adjust the freq. approximately.
what to do with the remaining pins 12,13,14 of the IC 4047?
how to check the operation of each component when i connect a 12 v Dc supply?..
how to know whether the POT R1 is adjusted at 50Hz?
please reply:-(

im looking for a most advance inverter, from 12Vdc to 240Vac inverter. If you have this kind of inverter, please share with me and send the full circuit diagram with it explanation.
thanks…….
i will add one soon
Please remember, 230V AC KILLS.
As ADMIN has stated, this is not a very efficient circuit and allthough it will suffice for many an application, it has it’s limits.
If you are buliding this circuit with the intention of using it to drive a mains battery charger for a portable unit (laptop or some such thing), it is highly likely that it won’t work.
The output of this inverter is known as a dirty sinewave and most chargers these days will not accept it as an input.
Having said that, there are still may applications that this could still work for.
The only way to learn is to do it.
pls can you send me a 500watts inverter circuit diagram
oops that was a type error when I created the circuit diagram.The transformer has to be 9-0-9. Otherways you wont get the required output voltage.
Around 2 to 3 volts will be dropped by the circuit and what the transformer primary gets is battery voltage minus this drop (ie around 9V).Thats why a 9-0-9 to 230 V transformer is needed.
I have corrected the diagram.
thanks cool386 for pointing the error
The problem can be anything.I have few questions
Did you got a proper output waveform in the oscilloscope?
Have you checked the output of the oscillator section?
Which transistor you used?
Had the transistors burned out?
Was your battery powerful enough?
If you send me the circuit diagram I can help you more.
Just mail it to info@circuitstoday.com
Recently, i was making an inverter with transistors. it was drawing 0.06A but when i tried to increase its consumption for a proper output it didn’t work. is it bcause of the transistors that m using?
good posts, Azzoarq is right.
@ idris
to produce 1000W from 12V DC you must have 83-85 Ampere….!!
hi, this is good for our consumption.
Thanks.
this inverter is good, but i like 1000w with principle opretion
please can you send me a detailed explanation and diagram of how i can build a 600watts inverter and a 12v battery charger

thnx..
cool386,please can you teach me to build an inverter starting with this circuit diagram of 100watt,and how i can increase it to 5000watts in a well explained way naming/labelling the circuit diagram in an Email
the frequency can be adjusted by varying R1 or C1. For 400Hz you need to decrease R1 to around 25K and keep the value of C1 0.022uF itself.
What can you do to increase the frequency? Say to 400 Hz?
can someone provide us a charger of lead acid battery but our input is a 24V DC motor.. consider that our input varies due to variations of required 1200rpm of the motor.. plz help us.. we need this diagram as soon as possible.. plz email us at manacled_man@yahoo.com
Could you send me a 200 wats invertor circucit diagram, please. If it´s possible with calculation of individualy parts… It´s very importatnt for me. Thanks a lot
cool386 is rigth… You must using 9-0-9 to get high voltage
Thanks for this circuit diagram. Please, can you tell me where the -12Vdc will be connected.
pls can you send me a 500 watts inverter circuit diagram
These inverter circuits will give low output voltage unless a transformer with 9-0-9V primary is used. I’ve been building inverters for over 25yrs and know what I’m talking about.
I like this circuit but I need 500W UPS for my project so please post me the circuit of 500W UPS
