Simple Pure Sine Wave Inverter Circuit - 500 Watt Pure Sine
Posted by Swagatam Majumdar

+8 Recommend this on Google

The post explains how to make a pure sine wave inverter using ordinary components and yet get reasonably
outstanding results.

The circuit basically uses a push pull topology through a couple of 24V batteries. The use of two 24V
batteries allows lower AH batteries to be incorporated with higher efficiency and wattage.

12V batteries can be also tried however the power output would be reduced to half.

Since a dual supply is used the connected transformer does not need to be a center tapped type, rather a
two wire ordinary transformer becomes suitable here.
The couple of designs shown below are all that would be required for implementing this simple pure
sine wave inverter circuit.
The first circuit is the basic sine wave generator which becomes the feeding input to the main sine wave
amplifier or the output stage.
The sine wave generator produces a pure sine wave output with the shown components at about 50Hz, for
other frequencies the 2.5K resistor may be altered, and tested in a simulator for fixing the desired results.
The sine generator circuit should be supplied with +/-12V, and not directly from the 24V battery supply as
that might damage the IC permanently.
The opamps used in this sine generator are from the IC TL072
The next diagram shows the output stage of the proposed simple pure sine wave inverter circuit. As can be
seen the design is not at all complicated.
All the involved components are standard, and easily available.
The mosfets are IRF540n and IRF9540n which compliment each other to produce the required push pull
effect over the attached transformer.
With a 0-24V/25amp transformer, and a couple of 24V batteries the circuit would be able to generate as
high as 600 watts of pure sine wave output at the relevant voltage.
The output across the right hand side opamp of the sine generator is to be connected across the input of the
second circuit for initializing the proposed operations.

Thanks Girish,
the transformer here is 0-24V, but you can also use a 24-0-24V to make it a 48V transformer,
but the batteries will have to be 48V x 2nos...this will make the inverter 1KVA rated.

Hi Swagatam
There are two questions I would like to ask:
1. Efficiency of this inverter
2. If I use salvaged power transformer (heavy iron core type, 50hz) from an APC UPS 650, how it can be
used in 12V+0+12V circuits since its windings are 8 to 9 volts each instead of 12V. How am I supposed
to use such transformers in schematics mentioned at your site, would u like to suggest any change in
schematic etc.?
Regards

May 6, 2013 at 5:44 PM

Hi Sam,
I am not sure about the efficiency because I haven't tried it yet.
8 to 9 volts in each half winding is in fact perfect for most of my designs as it would provide a
little higher than the rated 220V, so even at lower input voltages the output would stick
around 220V.

Hi Swagatam
Thanks for your quick response. However I have two more question:
1. if salvaged transformer winding is 8-9 volt then 12-14 volt from a juicy battery is going to damage the
winding by overheating it since it was wound for a lower voltage.
2. Moreover if salvaged transformer is from a sine wave UPS then a modified square wave or square
wave inverter may slowly damage it due to extra transients since it was made for a sine wave and not
for square wave. I think square wave transformers are made with extra winding (head room for
transients) but am not sure what do you say?

Hi Sam,
A transformer is a solid state device which is made up of metals.
It would get damaged only under conditions where it gets very hot, otherwise I don't think you
can damage an iron-cored transformer through any other means.
9V is just under 12V so it would make the transformer slightly warm, not much, moreover it's
the wattage consumption at the output that may be responsible for heating up the
transformer, if it's controlled appropriately, things would be all right.
You may incorporate my circuits which have a 555 pwm controller attached, this would give
you an option of controlling the RMS so that the transformer is not operated under incorrect
voltage parameters.

Hi Sir,
Your skills building inverters are amazing.
I've seen inverters that do not rely on the transformer to make the output, instead, they first transform
low DCV to high DCV (H-bridge)using FETS and small HF transformers, and then modulate for pure
sine AC through another H-Bridge i think.
Is it possible that you can give us such a design, cause it seems one can get outputs over 2000W using
small transformers.
Hope you take my proposal under consideration

Such inverters are not difficult to design except the output ferrite transformer which requires
specific calculations therefore becomes a fairly complex parameter to handle.
Due to this reason I haven't posted any of these circuits.

Sorry to bother you again with this, i've tried to zoom in but still can't figure out some

R24 i assume 10E meaning 10 Ohms
Q7-Q8 i assume BD140
also a assume international notation meaning for example 2k2 = 2,2K Ohm
Again, sorry to bother you with small details, but i really wanna build this circuit and that

What would you recommend for that application wish I seek to build? I've tried a H-bridge

Can I send you an email with the simulation attached and perhap you could help me with it?

secondly, The outputs in the first circuit, are two. Which of them do i connect to the second circuit as

Finally,how can i determine the Amperage of my transformer?

The above circuit works with two batteries, you can use two 12V batteries but the relative
power output will be 50% reduced than two 24V batteries.
Use the output from the green line, extreme right side.
for knowing the trafo amp apply 220V at its relevant winding, connect an AC ammeter set at
max current range on other side of the trafo for a few seconds until you get the required
current reading.

As mentioned in my previous comment, the supply needs to be applied to the supply pins of
the IC, the lines which are marked with ground symbols will go to the series point of the two
batteries, because in the above design we have used two batteries in series for getting the

Dear Paul,

it's nonpolar, can be any low leakage type. IRF840 is 600v rated won't be a good match with
24v supplies. use irf540 instead.

A simple BJT or mosfet stage won't understand a sine wave, it'll start conducting fully the
moment sine voltage exceeds 0.6V or 3V for mosfet.

Dear Sir, is it possible to shift the phase so the the output from the first IC TL072 and the second are at
120 degree? Iam thinking of adding a third OP AMP to get three outputs at 120 degrees shift. This will
allow me to connect the three sine wave outputs to a power stage and transformer in order to get high
power three phase.
Can it work by varying the capacitors? I can also see that the gains are different at each output so we
need to make them equal before feeding them to power stage. Could you please help with such design
sir?

2.2nF will not do, 2.2uF could work, but it's better to use a 2uF cap[, you can use two 1uF in

Hi Prasad,
Single battery will not work because the above design uses a single winding push-pull
configuration.
12-0-12v will work, keep the center taps shorted and unused and use 2nos 24v batts.
The above design is not a center tap type inverter so center tap cannot be used here.

biannz, the mosfets should not become hot if the cirucit is built correctly.
take the help of an expert electronic engineer who can schematics well.
how can a n-channel work for p-channel?? think before you ask.
0.22 are in fact for safeguarding the devices, so they are definitely not causing the heating
issues, it's surely due to some hidden fault in your design.
dont worry about the TL072 output, first make sure the inveter devices remain cool on switch.
