INTRODUCTION
Inverter is a circuit use to convert a D.C. power into A.C. power at a
designed output voltage and frequency. This conversion can be achieved either by
controlling ON and OFF devices [ eg. BJTs MOSFETs IGBTs, SITs, GTOs etc.]
or by forced commutations thyristors, depending on application. The output
frequency of an inverter is determined by the rate at which the semiconductor
devices are switched ON and OFF by inverter control circuitry.
At present, most power supply system available in the market
provides square wave output, which is unsuitable for powering those equipment
which has rotating machinery such as in induction motors and blowers also for
computer system, which make use of linear power supplies.
Since wave (230 V AC at 50 HZ) inverter (230 V AC at 50 HZ) is the
ideal choice for powering devices such as cordless phone, medical electronics
equipments and even T.V., V.C.R. and Computer etc. during mains failure.
In this report project, a push-pull half bridge inverter is used. The
power transistors are used for switching purpose. During each half cycle only one
of two power transistors conduct and drives the current through half of the primary
winding of output transformer in opposite direction. Thus the alternating current
flows through the primary and also through the secondary of transformer. And this
A.C. output is converted into pure sine wave using OTT filter and sine wave
output of OTT filter is given to A.C.load.

IMPORTANCE OF INVERTER
An inverter circuit is used to convert DC power to AC power. This
conversion can be achieved. Either by transistors or by SCR's. For low and
medium power inputs, transistorized inverters are suitable but for high power
outputs, SCR's should be used. For low power self-oscillating transistor inverters
are suitable but for high power outputs, driven inverters are more common than
self-oscillating one.
Moreover for multiphase Ac output there is no alternative other than
better frequency stability because a separator master oscillator is used for the
purpose for the application in invertors, transistors have some Advantages over
SCR's regarding the switching speed, simplicity in control circuit higher efficiency
and greater reliability. This is mainly due to the fact that SCR's inverters requires
extra circuits to turn SCR's off, moreover additional complex logic circuits may be
required to prevent false, triggering and provide proper commutation.
Transistor invertors are useful in wide variety of applications. They
provide power to the complicated electronic system. They are useful in the
operation and various airbone equipment. More over they find wide applications
in a Ac to Dc converter.

CLASSIFICATION OF INVERTERS
The inverter are classified into two groups namely, voltage source
inverters and current source inverters.
Voltage source inverter is one in which the source has small and
negligible impedance, because of low, impedance, the terminal voltage of VSI
remains substainly constant with variations in load. It is therefore, equally
suitable to single motor and multi motor drives. On the other hand the current
sources inverters is supplied with a controlled current from DC source of high
impedance. Typically a phase controlled SCR's feeds the inverter with revaluated
current through series inductor. Some of important industrial applications of CSI
are in variable speed AC motor drives, HVDC transmission lines, etc.
According to number of phases of load, inverter are classified as
single phase inverter and three phase invertors.
Single phase bridge inverter are again classified as half bridge and
full bridge inverter. 3.1 shows half bridge inverter and figure 3.2 shows full
bridge inverter are classified according to semiconductor devices used, Such as
thyristorised, inverter, transistorized MOSFET based inverter.
The thyristorised inverter are further classified as series inverter,
parallel inverter. Load commutated inverter and force commutated inverter. The
force-commutated inverter are classified again as McMurray and McMurray. Bed
ford inverter. The classification of inverters is summarized in table.

THEORY OF TRANSISTOR
Power transistors have controlled turn ON and turn off
characteristics. The transistors, which are used as switching elements are operated
in the saturation region, resulting in a low on state voltage drop. The switching
Govt. Poly. Washim 6

speed of modern transistors in much higher than that of thyristors and they are
extensively employed in dc-dc and ac-ac converter, with inverse parallel connected
diodes to provide bi-directional current flows.
The power transistors can be classified broadly in to four categories :-
1) Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs)
2) Metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFETs)
3) Static induction transistors (SITs)
4) Insulated-gate, bipolar transistors (IGBTs)
BJT, or MOSFET's, SIT's or IGBT's can the assumed as ideal
switches to explain the power conversion techniques. A transistors switch is much
simpler then a forward commuted thyristor switch.
POWER BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS
A bipolar junction transistor is a three layer device with emitter (E),
base (B) and collector (C) regions. The term bipolar indicates that current flow
consists of a movement of both positive and negative charges, that is holes and
electrons.

As indicated in figure the N-Type material, separated by a p-type
base region. This is the N-P-N transistor which has the circuit symbol shown. For
high voltage and high current applications. N-P-N transistors are more widely
used because they are easy to manufacture and cheaper.
For a normal transistor operation the base-emitter junction is forward
bias and the emitter acts as a source of mobile carriers which enter the base region,
these injected carriers are electrons in the N-P-N transistor. In general, the emitter
region is made of heavily doped material to increase the number of injected
carriers, which become minority carries when they enter the base. Most of these
minority carriers diffuse through the base region, which is very narrow and arrive
at the collector base junction. This junction is reversed by an external voltage and
hence, the minority base carriers injected by the emitter are swept into the
collector region by the electric field at the collector base junction. Figure shows
Govt. Poly. Washim 8

the diagrammatic representation of the electron current flow in an N-P-N
transistor. Some electron recombine in the base region and do not reach the
collector. Hence, collector current, IC is slightly less than emitter current, IE. The
difference between these currents is responsible for the small base current IB.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A) Inverter control circuit :-
It uses the basic square wave (astable multivibrator) oscillator
employing IC555, with 5.1 supply voltage derived from 12 v. battery by using 5.1v
zener ZD1 in series with a resistance R1. A stable multivibrator is designed for a
Govt. Poly. Washim 11
Inverter Cum Charger
frequency of 100 HZ, which can be varied above or below 100 HZ using preset
PR2. The frequency 'f' or of a stable multivibrator is given by the relationship.
f = 1.44/ (RA + 2RB)C HZ.
Where RB = circuit resistance of preset PR1
If RA = 220 Ohms and RB = 15 Kilo-ohms then frequency = 100
HZ. Due to the tolerance of the component values. Observed frequency may not
be exactly equal to 100 HZ and therefore preset PR1 may need to be suitably
adjusted.
The output of the a stable multivibrator is given to pin no-5 the IC
7473, which produces the two 50 HZ square wave outputs at its pin 8 and 9 with a
phase difference of 180 degrees between the two. One of outputs is coupled to the
base of transistor T2 through diode D1 and limiting resistor R4 while the second
output is given to the base of transistor T1 through diode D2 and series resistor R5.

B) Power Output Stage :-
The power stage includes transistors, output transformer and filters.
The transistors are used in switching applications because of there
inherent high speed turn - ON and turn OFF capabilities. The output pulses
generated from pin no.8 and pin no.9. of IC 7473 are applied to the base of
transistor T1 and T2 which works as a driver circuit for power transistor.
During half cycle, only one of the two transistors, conducts and
drives the current through half the primary winding of transformer.
Thus overall efficiency of inverter is quite high. The efficiency is
further reduced if transformer losses are taken into consideration.
C) Ott Filter :-
The output of the secondary transformer is square wave. In order to
attenuate the harmonic contents. It is necessary to pass them through filter.
The OTT filter performs following important functions.
1) It provides sine wave output, thus the essential elimination of harmonic content
to the load.
2) It maintains a capacitive load to the inverter overlarge range of load power
factor. However it suffers from the disadvantage that the voltage drop across the
circuit is more.

E) Testing and Performance :-
Suitable actual size sided PCB for the circuit of figure (T) is
manufactured and all the component with expect transistors are accommodate on
the PCB the two transistors are to be mounted on appropriate heat sink. A single
heat sink may be used but the transistors should be insulated from the heat sink
Govt. Poly. Washim 14
Inverter Cum Charger
using mica insulator and secured using either IC screw/nuts or appropriate Teflon
washers ensuring that the body is not shorted to heat sink. Also use heat sink
compound between the TRANSISTORS body and mica insulators as well as
between mica insulators and heat sink. Precaution by way shorting all three
terminates of transistor together using a thin copper stand and during together may
be taken. When the item is being handled during the assembly. Remove this
shorting only after the assembly and the computer using is over.
We have readymade transformer with primary voltage specifications
of 12VAC-012VAC (05 amp. Current rating) and secondary voltage rating of 230
V ( 750 MA or higher current ) the supply for the circuit is taken from a single
12V.07 Ah battery which is adequate for supplying about 200 W/load for 2 hours
in absence of main supply. Higher ampere hour battery could be used for
obtaining longer stand by capacity/period.
Figure shows the wiring diagram of different parts of inverter. Multi
stand Teflon isolated wires of suitable current handling capacity for extending the
connection from battery as well as transformer X1 to the transistor terminal the
PCB should be fully tested before connecting the final collector output to
transistors.
The OTT filter which is designed is connected across the secondary
transformer and across the output of OTT filter the load is connected.

In this way all the connections are made by following certain
precautions and circuit is tested.
F) Charger Circuit and Description :-
For charging purpose the supply from the A.C. main is given to the
step down transformer (9-0-9) which steps down the 230 V of A.C. supply to 12
volt. A.C. from the secondary of the step down transformer is given to the diode
Govt. Poly. Washim 16

rectifier circuit which converts the A.C. to D.C. (12V). This 12 V. D.C. supply is
used for charging the battery.
In rectifier circuit the current limiting resistor is placed to protect the
battery from overcharging.
