Any inverter will last for 2 hours or more if its battery is big and its load current is low.
I can buy a amall 75W inverter for a low price. A car battery will last 10 hours powering it if it has a 75W load.

The current in the output transistors and from the battery will be 150A if the load on a 12V inverter is 1500W. A big car battery will explode. The transformer will be huge and will cost a fortune. Many transistirs will be needed.
Rediculous.

I think it may be time to close this topic? Every possible inverter question has been asked and answered multiple times.

Most questions about high power inverters are coming from countries without electricity.
Where do they charge the battery?

My guess would be wind, solar, treadmill, etc.

But I wonder where they get the parts?

well if they got a computer to ask what they ask then they can get parts mailed to them i would imagine, lol lol......

They don't have any money or credit cards and they probably don't have a postal system.

Hello, How are you, i wanted to build a inverter, but I am just a newbie, im tired of trying that aaroncake one, dont work, i want something simple & easy to build, even if its only 60 watts if you can help contact me At Cisco229@comcast.net, i just need to see how they work, in the most basic form then I can Do the math and make it better, thank you very much

Make an oscillator from a CD4047 IC, a resistor and capacitor. The IC has two outputs which are out-of-phase and they are perfect to drive two power Mosfets that drive a center-tapped stepup transformer.
Then you will have a very simple square-wave inverter.

How is the power (wattage) calculated? I was surprized that you need a 16 Amp Xformer to achieve only 300 watts. I know there is an efficiency consideration but the way I see it is 15 Amps X (120 volts X rms or .707) = 1272 watts. If we divide 300 by 1272 we get only 23 % efficiency of the xformer. Does this sound correct?

The square-wave inverter circuit heats with about 20% of its max power output. So a 300W inverter uses 360W from the battery. The battery current flows through the low voltage winding of the transformer and through the output transistors and is 360W/12V= 30A.

OK, Would it be more efficient if you shape the wave first? You could get some reasonable facsimile of a sine wave using an RC filter arangement. Also what you were talking about above. I do the same thing with 74HC04s (inverters). Make an oscillator with it and feed the output to the remaining inverters to get the two phases.
