Can an inverter convert 12V DC to 220V AC?

Building an inverter circuit that can convert 12V DC power to 220V AC power is a great way to have a portable power source for your electronics when mains power is not available.

What is a DC to AC voltage inverter?

For this, a quite simple DC to AC voltage inverter circuit is designed with simple power transistors. This type of transistor uses as a switching device that transforms 12V DC voltage into single-phase AC (220V) voltage as an output. Must Read Single Phase Full Bridge Inverter

How a voltage driven inverter circuit works?

Here, a simple voltage driven inverter circuit using power transistors as switching devices is build, which converts 12V DC signal to single phase 220V AC. The basic idea behind every inverter circuit is to produce oscillations using the given DC and apply these oscillations across the primary of the transformer by amplifying the current.

Why do you need an inverter circuit?

Inverters are often needed at places where it is not possible to get AC supply from the Mains. An inverter circuit is used to convert the DC power to AC power. Inverter Circuit are very much helpful to produce high voltage using low voltage DC supply or Battery. DC-DC Converter circuit can also be used but it has certain voltage limitations.

Which type of inverter is not used in electronic equipment?

For this reason, this type of inverter is not used in electronic equipment. For this, a quite simple DC to AC voltage inverter circuit is designed with simple power transistors. This type of transistor uses as a switching device that transforms 12V DC voltage into single-phase AC (220V) voltage as an output.

How many components does a 220V AC circuit need?

Just 12 volts and we can get 220V AC at the output. So, maybe the question arises that the circuit then needs a lot of components to boost up the voltage. But, no! the circuit is so simple that it only needs four components. But how? We will get the answer to this question while making the circuit.
