Choose what you want:
1) A 2N3055 transistor that has a 3V loss when it has a collector current of only 10A and is driven with a whopping 3.3A base current.
2) A modern Mosfet that has a 0.5V loss when it conducts 50A and doesn't use any gate current.
The 10A 2N3055 transistor is in a 100W inverter and its 120VAC output is actually only 90V.
The 50A Mosfet is in a 500W inverter and its 120VAC output is actually 115V.
The transistor applies only 9V to the transformer. The Mosfet applies 11.5V to the transformer. |

You didn't read this topic, did you? Inverters of that size are not practical for you to build. We've also covered this in many other topics. |

A 2000W inverter will draw about 200A from a 12V battery. A big car battery would explode. A bus-load of car batteries would power it for only a few hours and would take a few days to charge.
The circuit would be very expensive.
Here is a schematic of a 3000W modified sine-wave inverter. It draws 250A from a 12V (actually 13.8V) battery. It uses 16 expensive Mosfets and hundreds of other parts. Its custom-made transformer will be nearly as big and as expensive as a small car.

The circuit as posted on the circuits page does not work very well. But if you want to make it anyway, see the following topics regarding the diode. I just searched for "HEP154". It took less then 10 seconds to find the answer:
http://www.aaroncake.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5480
http://www.aaroncake.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2452
http://www.aaroncake.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=383
Can I use a Vrrm=600v Io=5A fast recovery diode or higher one to
raplace the HEP154 diode? because I can't find HEP154 in Taiwan.
Another question is the C1&C2. Can I use a 100uf tantalum capacitor
to replace 68uf tantalum capacitor?
Thank you for share this circuit. |

Sure, why not. The circuit doesn't work very well anyway. |

| Its only rated at 48VA at 110V you'll only be able to pull 0.44A off of it. |

Hello Dear All,
Please help me to build a simple inverter just to use with my satellite receiver which operates on 110V-to-220V AC with marely 30-35W consumption.
Actually I want step up 12V DC to 110-120V AC for the load of 30-35W.
If anybody got working inverter circuits please post it here or send it to NASHOT(at)GMAIL.COM
Thanks in Advance. |

| HELLO AUDIOGURU,I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH YOUR WORKS AND I THINK U MIGHT BE OF HELP TO ME.I AM SO GALD I GOT A SITE LIKE THIS.I GOT AN INVERTER WHICH I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BUILD BUT IT BURNS OUT MY OSCILLATOR.I GOT THE INVERTER CIRCUIT FROM THIS SITE:http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/power/033/index.html.PLEASE I DONT KNOW IF U HAVE MODIFICATIONS TO THE INVERTER.I WANT TO BUILD A 12VDC--220VAV,1000W POWER SUPPLY.THANKS IN ANTICIPATION.KENNEDY. |

Hi Kennedy,
That 500W inverter had many mistakes. I fixed it two years ago but a moderator there recently changed it so it doesn't work any more. Here is my fixed one. For 1000W it needs many more transistors and 100A from the 12V battery. Its output is a square-wave.

| This power inverter uses ordinary cheap transistors because Mosfets are not available everywhere. Mosfets are much better but the circuit for them must be completely different. |
