60W inverter using transistors

Description.
Here is the circuit diagram of a fully transistorized inverter that can drive up to 60W loads. Transistors Q1 and Q2 forms a 50Hz astable multivibrator. The output from the collector of Q2 is connected to the input of the Darlington pair formed by Q3 and Q4.Similarly the output of Q1 is coupled to the input of the pair Q5 and Q6. The output from the Darlington pairs drive the final output transistors Q7 and Q8 which are wired in the push pull configuration to drive the output transformer.

60W inverter using transitors

Notes.

  • The circuit can be assembled on a vero board.
  • T1 can be a 230V primary to 9-0-9V, 6A secondary transformer.
  • Transistors Q4, Q6, Q7 and Q8 must be fitted with heat sinks.
  • Use a 12V, 7Ah battery for powering the inverter.
  • Slight adjustments can be made on the value of R3 and R4 to get exact 50Hz output.

    plz help, i have used hcf4047, 12-0-12 xtransformer and irfz44 mosfets but no output, whats my problem

  • priyank jani says:

    what should be the minimum rating of input dc current in ampere hour.

    • Seetharaman says:

      The current requirement at rated load is 6Amps. if you want it to work for 1hr use 7AH battery if you want it to work non stop for 8 hrs use 60AH battery.

  • ramesh says:

    is it necessarily 6A transformer…???
    plz give me circuit how to build up to 200watts???

  • yatheendra says:

    hai sir can we use transformer of 9-0-9 1amp in this circuit.

  • DEEPAK.P says:

    what is the specification of the transformer used in this circuit?

  • sushil says:

    Hi seetharaman
    I have 9-0-9v 1A transformer is it ok for inverter.

  • Ashish Thami says:

    This 60w Inverter Circuit is Working Great.

  • rollly says:

    hi sir how can i upgrade this ckt into a 200watts outpot.

  • Seetharaman says:

    Hi Rajib The charge controllers are available in the market for Solar charging of batteries with 200 to 250 watts capacity solar pvcs. Use them they are most suited for your requirement

  • Rajib Banerjee says:

    I want a circuit that works as a duel charger(600-800 watt)Inverter AC & Solar Parallel And If possible Need Separate Circuit of Solar Charging with battery full charging sensor with auto cut and if need after solar charging battery itself can get charge form AC.Basically Add on Circuit that be integrated with existing 600-800 watt Inverter used 12v 180Ah Inverter battery.Its Need if possible solution.reply

    Hey Guys…

    I am working on an engineering project.. using this circuit… but it only provides current up to the last resistors, I don’t get any o/p when I test the transistors 2N3055. So, the transformer shows nothing. Can you please help me… it’s critical, and, am stuck!!

    Appreciate your reply very much, Thanks!!

    WILL THIS CIRCUIT WORKS PROPERLY?????????????

    @Seetharaman
    Thankyou for your reply Sir. & I have got two questions please.
    What if instead of 12V, 7Ah battery I use a 12V 12Ah/2HR battery? What would be its affect on the whole inverter?

    Secondly by using a transformer (9-0-9)V & 6A, does it mean that this transformer will be giving an output current of 6A?
    Means that if I use a transformer which has more current rating at secondary side like lets say “10A” then does it mean that this inverter would be giving 10A to the load?

  • Seetharaman says:

    The capacitor used are 16 volt or greater ceramic / polyester / paper / polycarbonate etc. (non polar type).
    You cannot eliminate the center tap, without which, the circuit will not work. All push pull designs require center tapped transformer and they are efficient designs.

  • pramod says:

    without a center tap transformer will this ckt able to provide the desired output

    • John Biasutti says:

      If you can not find a Centre Tap transformer use 2 off 0 – 9 V transformers connected in series with the 0 V connection between the 2 transformers.

  • pramod says:

    Hai could you please tell me how to eliminate center tapping freom this circuit. i am having a 0-9v transformer.

  • jp2kumar says:

    i don’t understand what type of capacitor used here and voltage value any alternate solution there? pls tell me ….

  • Seetharaman says:

    Hi Madhavan buy a step down transformer rated with primary 230 volt AC & secondary 9-0-9 AC rated for 6 amps. use the primary as secondary and secondary as primary.
    Hi Taimur for using with frequency sensitive devices, like line sychronised equipment etc, you have to adjust for the required frequency of the inverter, else they may mall function.

  • mathavan says:

    RESPECTED SIR
    I AM BSC.,ELECTRONICS STUDENT FROM TIRUVANNAMALAI
    I WANT STEPUP TRANSFORMER
    IN PRIMARY 9-0-9V AND SECONDARY 230V.HERE NOT AVAILABLE
    THE TRANSFORMER.PLEASE SEND THAT TRANSFORMER DETAIL.

  • Taimur says:

    Its mentioned here that by making slight adjustments of the resistors: we’ll be able to obtain an exact 50Hz output.. . What if i don’t make those adjustments, will i still get the appropriate output for my load(like bulb,charger or anything else etc)?

  • Avinash says:

    Plz send this image in .jpg format plz plz

  • kenneth says:

    Please i need a 60VA sine wave inverter circuit. 12vdc to 220vac….. how can i obtain sine wave outputs with this circuit.

  • seetharaman says:

    Hi Ali the capacitors can be 16 volts or higher.

  • ali says:

    Dear

    I found inverter circuit very useful.
    1-in the notes ,voltage operation of capacitores
    is not mentioned.
    2- application of inverter for solr cells and bipv systems
    it is better to have more practical information

  • Shelly Jardin says:

    I have done this circuit also as a project but it only provides current up to the last resistors, I don’t get anything from there when I test the transistors 2N3055 they put out nothing. Thus the transformer also shows nothing. Is there something not included here that I need to ad? Thank you

  • seetharaman says:

    No it is square wave.

  • alumnistemsa says:

    out put this circuit sinewave or not?

  • umer says:

    i want to design a 100 watt inverter using PWM technique
    if ny 1 have the circuit diagram so plz send it to me
