48.000 Watts?
Look at what they do on diesel-electric locomotives.

well i guess all you electronic pros dont know about those mosfets. 34 in paralle shouldnt use much at all there all using the voltage at the same time. the 24 volt controller that im using for the pulse modulater has output of just under 12 volts and it used to push 5 24v 80amp mosfets in paralle.

Hi Tim,
Before you wanted an inverter to use 34 Mosfets so its output could make 120V at 400A which is 48,000W.
Now you are using only 5 Mosfets rated at only 24V?
When the inverter steps up a 12V battery's voltage 10 times, then the current in the Mosfets is also stepped up 10 times. That's 4000A!
Mosfets rated for only 80A would curl-up and die with 800A through each one.
Wait a minute. Is it the controller that uses 5 paralleled Mosfets to drive the gates of 34 power Mosfets?
I thought the quantity of Mosfets in the controller should have an even number so they can operate push-pull. Then they can quickly charge and discharge the huge gate capacitance of the many paralleled power Mosfets.

well its tim again this motor controller uses 34 mosfets rated 200v 18 amp each. all in paralle it handles 200v and over 600 amps. waiting for freewheeling diodes for coasting and the circuit is done including the pulse width modulator from a 24 v motor controller that im using.

HI all,
what should i do to build a invertor 40khz.
does the above ckt. will work as it is for me if i
change time constant of it only.

To make a 40kHz inverter you will need a circuit that works, power Mosfets at its output that drive a special high frequency transformer that is probably bifilar wound on a ferrite core, a fast Mosfet gate driver IC and a power supply PWM driver IC.

Sir thans for suggestion
does their is any special technique required for recovery of primery side inductor when i will drive that from power mosfet and its driver ic.or does the flybac diode work.

All power Mosfets I've seen have a powerful diode as part of their construction from drain to source that will arrest any flyback voltage from the transformer's primary if the load is suddenly disconnected. The diode is slow to operate so add a 0.01uF capacitor in parallel with the primary to slow down the rate of voltage rise.

the caps ar inveted in polarity

The Japanese engineer shows the capacitors with the correct polarity and explains how the circuit works.
He also explains that the circuit's power supply voltage is limited to the 5V Veb rating of the transistors.
The transistors in the inverter project on this site are operating from a 24V supply due to center-tapped transformer action, but the 2N3055 transistors have an absolute max Veb voltage rating of only 7V. I've never seen a silicon transistor with a higher voltage rating. The circuit would operate fine with old germanium transistors.
Therefore when the emitter-base junctions breakdown due to overvoltage, then a massive current flows in the capacitors which blows them up!

Neither of the inverters from that site run on 24V. True the push-pull primary transistors will have 24V on their collectors when they are off, but that's it.
MOSFET body diodes...... this diode is a parasitic diode with the substrate, it wasn't put there by design!! For the most part, you don't want to turn this diode on because it's reverse recovery characteristic "sucks". It is very common for designers to put a schottky in parallel with it so that it NEVER turns on.

Hi Gus,
The long reverse recovery time of the body diode is bad for a high frequency SMPS, but for this 60Hz inverter would be neglegible.

One question... What happens if I have a 12/125 volts 500 watts transformer, also somewhat like an electronic multivibrator, can be a transistor, a mosfett, or a platinum system as the one that uses the old cars. This is for, to trigger transformer and induce 125 volts in the other winding. What would happen if I use an old relay voltage regulator as the vibrator (because they disconnect if a specific current travels it); also, with this disconnection, I could make a system that inverts polarity to simulate a square wave.
Thanks!

12/120V inverter again
