The Sinewave Generator Circuit


The below given diagram shows a simple sine wave generator circuit which may be used for driving the above inverter
circuit, however since the output from this generator is exponential by nature, might cause a lot of heating of the
mosfets.

A better option would be to incorporate a PWM based circuit which would supply the above circuit with appropriately
optimized PWM pulses equivalent to a standard sine signal.

The PWM circuit utilizing the IC555 has also been referred in the next diagram, which may be used for triggering the
above 1000 watt inverter circuit.

How to Connect Batteries


The diagram also shows the method of connecting the battery, and the supply connections for the sine wave or the PWM
oscillator stages.

Here just four mosfets have been used which could be IRF4905 for the p-channel, and IRF2907 for n-channel.

Complete 1 kva inverter circuit design with 50 Hz sine oscillator

In the above section we have learned a full bridge design in which two batteries are involved for accomplishing the
required 1kva output. Now let's investigate how a full bridge design could be constructed using 4 N channel mosfet and
using a single battery.

The following section shows how a full-bridge 1 KVA inverter circuit can be built using, without incorporating
complicated high side driver networks or chips.

Using Arduino
The above explained 1kva sinewave inverter circuit can be also driven through an Arduino for achieving almost a prefect
sinewave output.

The complete Arduino based circuit diagram can be seen below:

Program Code is given below:

//code modified for improvement from http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=8563.0


//connect pin 9 -> 10k Ohm + (series with)100nF ceramic cap -> GND, tap the sinewave signal from the

float minOutputScale = 0.0;
float maxOutputScale = 5.0;
const int resolution = 1; //this determines the update speed. A lower number means a higher refresh
rate.
const float pi = 3.14159;
void setup() {
wav1[0] = 50; //frequency of the sine wave
wav1[1] = 2.5; // 0V - 2.5V amplitude (Max amplitude + offset) value must not exceed the

templitude = sin(((percentage) * wav1[0]) * 2 * pi);
wav1[2] = (templitude * wav1[1]) + offset; //shift the origin of sinewave with offset.

}

The Full-Bridge Inverter Concept


Driving a full bridge mosfet network having 4 N-channel mosfets is never easy, rather it calls for reasonably complex
circuitry involving complex high side driver networks.

If you study the following circuit which has been developed by me, you will discover that after all it's not that dif cult to
design such networks and can be done even with ordinary components.

We will study the concept with the help of the shown circuit diagram which is in the form of a modi ed 1 kva inverter
circuit employing 4 N-channel mosfets.

As we all know, when 4 N-channel mosfets are involved in an H-bridge network, a bootstrapping network becomes
imperative for driving the high side or the upper two mosfets whose drains are connected to the high side or the battery
(+) or the positive of the given supply.

In the proposed design, the bootstrapping network is formed with the help of six NOT gates and a few other passive
components.

The output of the NOT gates which are con gured as buffers generate voltage twice that of the supply range, meaning if
the supply is 12V, the NOT gate outputs generate around 22V.

This stepped up voltage is applied to the gates of the high side mosfets via the emitter pinouts of two respective NPN
transistors.

Since these transistors must be switched in such a way that diagonally opposite mosfets conduct at a time while the the
diagonally paired mosfets at the two arms of the bridge conduct alternately.

This function is effectively handled by the sequential output high generator IC 4017, which is technically
called Johnson divide by 10 counter/divider IC.

The Bootstrapping Network


The driving frequency for the above IC is derived from the bootstrapping network itself just to avoid the need of  an
external oscillator stage.

The frequency of the bootstrapping network should be adjusted such that the output frequency of the transformer gets
optimized to the required degree of 50 or 60 Hz, as per the required specs.

While sequencing, the outputs of the IC 4017 trigger the connected mosfets appropriately producing the required push-
pull effect on the attached transformer winding which activates the inverter functioning.

The PNP transistor which can be witnessed attached with the NPN transistors make sure that the gate capacitance of the
mosfets are effectively discharged in the course of the action for enabling ef cient functioning of the entire system.

The pinout connections to the mosfets can be altered and changed as per individual preferences, this might also require
the involvement of the reset pin#15 connection.

Waveform Images
The above design was tested and veri ed by Mr. Robin Peter one of the avid hobbyists and contributor to this blog, the
following waveform images were recorded by him during the testing process.

Hello Sir.
Good day,inverter will remain among the focus among your projects.i saw an Arnduino,5v dc to ac spwm board in an
online retailer with 17 pins. I didnt know much about Arduino.My question is how can i inco-orperate it to an inverter
circuit,,,that is pin connections..Is it good for me to use a 24v supply for the inverter and 5v for the Arduino board.
Another question is …these online cheap china inverters,are they good.Does their template match with their output.
Thank you so much.

Thank you Patrick,

You can feed the SPWM from the Arduino into the base of transistor drivers to drive the transformer with the SPWM.
Yes 24V is better than 12V since higher voltage means lower current which in turns helps to keep the transformer
size smaller and generate lower amount of heat on the mosfets.
I have never used a Chinese inverter so I am not sure how good they are. You can con rm it only after a practical
testing.

You can get more information regarding how to interface SPWM Arduino with transistors in the following link:

hello there, i wasw wondering as in the rst section u staged 10 pairs of the bridge to get the 1000watts hence 1kva but
in the lower gures where us showed “full 1 kva circuit” there were only 4 of them 200watts i can guess. is it on purpose
to shorten the image size or is it actually just 4 of them?

Hello, if you use two 50 amp MOSFETs in parallel as shown in the last diagram, that can be suf cient to deliver 1000
watts of power at 24 V…therefore there’s actually no need of employing more than 2 mosfets per channel.

ah i get it. btw the MOSFETs that you have recommended don’t do more than 7A at 100watts. the datasheet by

Getting a 50 amp P channel mosfet looks dif cult so better to go with 4 nos of IRF540, and IRF9540 each for
achieving 1000 watts.

Hi Mr Swagatam !
I read each one the questions people has sent to you and yours attentive answers. Congratulations on your exceptional
patience and willingness to help! As a 72-yo retired technician (from valve time) I am taking the challenge of making an
H bridge capable of sinusoidally supply 120Vrms @ 10A at 60Hz switchable to 120Vrms @ 10A at 1 to 4H ! over
inductive load . Is it possible to achieve this using SG3525 or ,if not,could you suggest another way? To make things
more dif cult I must use single supply! Thanks in advance for your orientations .

Hi Mr. Oswaldo,
I am always happy to help and be attentive to dedicated readers like you! Thank you for stopping by and writing this
question!
An SG3524 is actually a PWM IC which can be used for easily achieving constant outputs and over current protection
features.
So if you want these features also in your inverter then SG3524 can be recommended, if not then the straightforward
IC 4047 would be more suitable.
However, the main issues with an H-bridge is its rather complex working design, which calls for specialized driver H
bridge ICs as explained below:

Simplest Full Bridge Inverter Circuit

The above links explains H bridge using Nchannel MOSFETs exclusively, which are supposed to be more ef cient.

If a little lower ef ciency is acceptable then an easier alternative can be tried using 2 P channel and 2 N channel
MOSFETs, without involving complex driver ICs as given below:

Hi Mr Swagatam !
Since your answer I tried unsuccessfully to get sinusoidal shaped output using SG3525 ,then I saw a post looking for
your guidance to build something similar to what I need .
“I have a 2012 & 2013 Prius, The Prius is unique in that it has a 200 VDC (nominal) high-voltage battery pack  etc. etc ”
 
So I gave up on the SG3525 and set up the circuit with IRS2453 (took a long time to get then from China) exactly as
shown in https://www.homemade-circuits.com/5kva-transformerless-inverter-circuit/. For the bridge 4 x IRGP4062D,
RT 120K, CT 100K nf providing about 60Hz at IRS2453 pins 6/7. Frequency 5.5Khz, 50% dutty cicle at 741 pin 2
Vcc=50V. 
I have been trying sleepless nights but no way to get sinusoidal output over the load for test(93R)  even adding  large
amount of capacitors and / or increasing the inductance of the low-pass lter. Using 741 After 3 minutes low side
IGBTs extremely hot (31,4Vrms@93R) .Replacing to LM383 , 27Vrms and everthing is cold ! . Sent diagram and scope
photos to your email hopping you could help to nd a solution  .

Hi Mr. Oswaldo, you cannot build a complex inverter circuit by simply assembling the parts….you will have to
understand each and every section of the design and then check them separately using an oscilloscope, and then
nally integrate the stages to complete the project.

Before attempting the sinewave you must rst successfully build the square wave version and then upgrade it to
sine wave.

The following design will provide 100% sinewave you you build it step wise and correctly:

divide 1000 by the battery voltage.

if your battery is 12v then 1000/12 = 84 amps, for 24V battery this will be 42 amps, for 48V battery this will be 21
amps.
the above are the current ranges for the transformer…the voltage of the transformer primary should be slightly
lower than the battery voltage specs.

Then you won’t need a circuit? you can simply use two transformers, connect the low voltage sides with each

220V AC.

Hi. I just want to nd out how I can calculate the Watt values of the 0.2R resistors in series of the sources of the mosfets
in the sine wave inverter circuit. I am using 2 x 12 V batteries. So I’ll use a 24 transformer for primary, 220V secondary,
but also 500VA, not 1kVa. This resistor Watt values are very important as the current ows through them,also causing a
volt drop across it, and also to prevent thermal run away on the mosfets.
Can you please check my calculation in this regard

Va of transformer = 500VA
I through coil = 500VA/24V
= 20.833A
Now I thought that because I only want to work with the upper half of the wave form, I’ll divide that by 2, also because
of duty cycle

So I saw that the current will be 10.416A

Now this resistors are in parallel, 2 of them with the same value, so to determine the current through one of the resistors
I’ll have to divide by 2 again because it is the same in value. (Current divider)
So then I get a current of 5.208A

Now for this speci c resistor (one of the 0,2R resistors), it is I*I*R
5.208*5.208*0.2
That gives me a value of 5.4W for each 0.2R resistor in the circuit.

Do you think this calculation done correctly

Thank you for you support in this regard

Hello. Firstly, thank you. I need a minimum frequency of 4000 Hz in the part made with Arduino. I run this value via code.
I get distorted signals at 4kHz on the oscilloscope on Proteus.
1-) What should I do in the code section to x this?
2-) How many uF capacitors and how many ohms resistors should I use on the circuit, what else do I need?

Hello mr swagatam i really appreciate your good work by shearing your knowledge with us without charging any
penny from us and god will blessed you and your entire family for being fruitful to the world. Please I have some
question which is:
(1) In H bridge inverter modi cation from PWM to sine waveform why it’s that the external PWM or SPWM circuit
output is alway fed only in low side Transistor not in or on the high side transistor
(2) why it’s that Zener diode is used in a circuit in reverse bias mode when linking another circuit to inverter shut
down and is always 3v that you used
(3) please have you tested this pure sine wave inverter circuit because the sine wave generator is not self oscillating
circuit thanks

REPLY

Swagatam says
October 7, 2019 at 10:25 am
Thanks Emmanuel,
1) the high side mosfet have complex bootstrap wiring across their gate source terminals which can get affected if
PWM was added here, therefore only the low side MOSFETs are selected for this integration.
2) The zener diode makes sure that only the genuine gate switching voltage above a certain minimum level is
allowed to reach the MOSFET, which avoids false triggering of the MOSFETs and possible shoot through.
3) I have tested it on smaller scale, and it worked perfectly. You can try any other sine oscillator from the net, if you
are not able to make this oscillator circuit work. You can also try one of these oscillator designs:

Need clari cation for following points:
1. In comment section it was mentioned that 50% of AH should be multiplied by battery volts to obtain power output.
Does it mean that if we use 48 V battery, then output by this inverter con guration is 2400 W (2.4 kW).
2.Since dual supply is used, does it imply that though 2 batteries are used, for power output considerations only one
battery is considered.
3. For backup time calculations, whether only one battery should be accounted for or 2

REPLY

Swagatam says
January 29, 2019 at 7:51 pm
1) Actually the maximum power output from a battery should the ideal discharge rate multiplied with its voltage. For
a lead acid battery it’s voltage multiplied by 1/10 or 1/5 of its Ah value. If this is not maintained the battery can
deteriorate very quickly.
2) Yes according to me since it’s a full bridge system the output power should be equivalent of both the batteries
combined.
3) for backup only two battery parameter should be considered since they work alternately.

connect the pair of N/C contacts with the inverter mains phase/neutral.

for the relay driver stage connect the emitter of the transistor with negative supply of a 12V adapter connected with
mains AC, positive of the relay with the positive of the adapter output, and the base also with the positive of the
adapter…the base resistor can be calculated from the following article:

What is the advantage of using dual supplies with respect to GND in this inverter circuit. Does it affect the output AC

difference?

REPLY

Swagatam says
December 25, 2017 at 9:16 pm
since it is an audio amp circuit, it had to use a dual supply, because originally the loud speaker had to be operated in
a push pull mode.
When we are replacing the loud speaker with a trafo we are implementing the same concept, that is using a two wire
trafo and achieving a push pull operation on it.

Whenever a two wire push pull trafo is used in an inverter, the supply has to be dual, or the circuit has to be an full
bridge or H-bridge topology employing 4 mosfets in tandem.

if the above concept is to be avoided, a center-tap trafo will come into the picture

Dear Sir Swagatam,
Most people think circuit ground means negative pole of the battery. That is not true. I’ve seen many negative voltage
regulators and can now understand that circuit GND and negative in certain cases can
not be the same.

When we say circuit Ground we refer to an electrical circuit where AC is involved.

In DC circuits there is nothing called ground but still people call that as negative terminal of battery.

This page shows the best example of a case where there is a separate positive and separate negative with respect to
GND. The GND here is both positive and negative.

So people here need to be much more careful as to how they do their battery connection to the inverter in this circuit.

Let me rst get this clari ed from you.


THANKS

REPLY

Swagatam says
December 25, 2017 at 4:44 pm
Hi Sherwin,

In circuits operating with dual supplies where a separate negative is involved with reference to a ground then this
ground becomes different and a critical thing to observe, but in single supplies where there’s no separate negative
with reference to a ground then the negative terminal itself is considered as the ground.

Therefore in DC circuits with single supply the negative is considered as ground which simply means a common zero
voltage line.

Such parameters are a matter of understanding and the users must be aware of these facts.

Christian, check the datasheet of the selected mosfet and nd out the Vds(Drain-Source Voltage) and Id(Continuous

Thanks DD, actually a low voltage should not have caused any problems, because at low voltage the net power gets
reduced so overload or over-current cannot happen, so it looks little strange to me.

However from your analysis it appears that some part in the battery charging section has malfunctioned, you can
track the wires which are responsible for carrying the voltage from the charger output to the battery, and check
which part is causing this issue….prior to this con rm whether the battery charger is producing the required
charging voltage or not, otherwise the issue could be in the charger controller stage.

yes the SPDT could be also responsible for this….you can replace it with a wire link to con rm the same.

hello Bilal,

the use of two batteries and the relevant connections allow the transformer winding to switch from top to bottom
and then from bottom to top alternately via the mosfets.

since the transformer does not have a center tap therefore two batteries become essential for the alternate up/down
switching of the trafo winding.

the up/down switching ensures positive and negative half cycles for the AC at the secondary of the trafo.

Hello Swagtam,

I have built your inverter circuit only. I am using a professional signal generator to provide the sine wave input. The
circuit is built on a professionally laid out and manufactured FR4 PCB. It is being powered from a +/-15 volt lab power
supply. All appears to power up OK with nothing getting hot. When I measure the output with no load there is a good
clean signal with a gain of about 22 as expected.

The problem occurs when a load is applied to the output. A 1k resistor across the output causes the output signal to
drop from 22 volts peak to peak down to 8 volts peak to peak with the top of the positive peak clipped. Lower value
resistors make the output lower. The power supply rails stay stable at +/- 15 volts with no AC ripple. I have changed the
FETs and con rmed the transistor are connected correctly. The circuit is exactly as per your diagram.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?. I can see that Q4,Q5 are a differential ampli er con guration, but am
unsure of the purpose of Q3. Is Q3 a form of current source?.

Would appreciate any help. Best regards


Mark

Hello Mark,

The above design is basically a 300 watt RMS audio ampli er, so I believe that if the circuit is able to drive a 300
watt loudspeaker then de nitely it would be able to drive an equivalently rated transformer too with the same
amount of output.

I have checked it in the form of an ampli er (using 4 fets) and with +/-25V, 5 amp supply and I could achieve well
over 150 watts from it, raising the voltage could have allowed me to reach above 200 watts

so i would recommend you to test the circuit like an ampli er rst and then appropriately convert it into an inverter.

use one of the last two circuits which uses two 1N414148 diodes for biasing the lower transistor section instead of
the the shown preset in the rst diagram….the use of two diodes relieves the user from the complex setting-up
procedure of the quiescent current for the design

Anyway, thanks very much for this great work. May God help you and protect you.

Aminu, without a center tap trafo it can be impossible to create a push pull effect unless two batteries were used or
a full-bridge IC was used…therefore in the above design two batteries are preferred instead of the other alternatives,
because using a couple of batteries is easily achievable…

Yes sir,
I will be building the sine generator circuit rst and tell me:
1. What is RMS value and what does it mean?
2. Approx. what will be sine voltage and current at output if my input is regulated 5v.
3. What is amplitude adjustment?
4. Do i need any LC circuit at the sine output to further enhance the waveform quality.
Please guide me,
since i'm doing the inverter project i'm also preparing the charging system seperately.
Again, you are really great in your works, i do appreciate it.

December 7, 2014 at 4:41 am
Sherwin,

RMS refers to the average voltage magnitude of a pulsed voltage.

with a 5V supply sine peak will be 5V and RMS = 2.5V

No LC circuit would be required for enhancing the sine, but could be required for eliminating unwanted harmonics or
ripples.

hello sir,
In your sine wave generator circuit, i cannot gure out ground pin of a1 and vcc pin of a2. are you missing them?
and where should i add a trimmer in circuit in place of resistor to set the freq. precise to 50Hz.
What should be min. input voltage and current to circuit?
Please help.

REPLY

Swagatam says
December 6, 2014 at 4:17 am
Hello Sherwin, A1, A2 could be a dual opamp such LM358,

The design is already calculated for generating the required 50 Hz so there's no need for any further adjustments.

voltage/current parameters will depend on the specs of the opamps used, typically it could be around 4.5V and 5mA

60v or higher trafo is used for minimizing the current requirement of the inverter, you could as well use a 12V trafo

daniel, do not connect any input signal, initially keep the input 22k end shorted to ground.

now power the circuit with small 12V ashlight bulbs in series with the battery supply lines (+) and (-).

If the bulbs glow brightly would mean something's wrong with your circuit.

The bulb glow will suggest that the quiescent current is too high for the circuit and it has not been con gured
correctly.

in a good circuit the bulbs will stay shut off

sir im very confused why becos in the parts list there is C4,C6,C7,C5,and C8 while its not in the circuit i can only see C1,
C2, and C3 in the op am TL072 sir im talking about this circuit Make This 1KVA (1000 watts) Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Circuit here are the parts list

All resistors are 1/8 watts, 1%, MFR


R1 = 14K3 (12K1 for 60Hz),
R2, R3, R4, R7, R8 = 1K,
R5, R6 = 2K2 (1K9 for 60Hz),
R9 = 20K
C1, C2 = 1µF, TANT.
C3 = 2µF, TANT (TWO 1µF IN PARALLEL)
C4, C6, C7 = 2µ2/25V,
C5 = 100µ/50v,
C8 = 22µF/25V
A1, A2 = TL 072

Part List for Inverter

Q1, Q2 = BC556

Q3 = BD140

Q4, Q5 = BD139

All N-channel mosfet are = K1058

All P-channel mosfets are = J162

Transformer = 60-0-60V/1000 watts/output 110/220volts 50Hz/60Hz

zinnaboy, please follow the diagram only, I might have put the parts list of "simple sine wave inverter" which is quite
similar to the above design.

So please follow the diagram only.

ok sir thank you very much for the respond sir i build it but it dont work why sir is there anything i did not connected? ok
let me tell you how i connect the circuit, in the 555 there is line that from it 7pin show (PWM pulses) i connected it with
A1 pin8 that show positive symbol to the Btr positive im i right? and also i connected pin7 of A2 to the sine input sir in
the 555 you connect pin4 and 8 together and you show 3 to 15v DC where is that going to? thank you sir for your time
on me.i am waiting for you reply before i will continue the circuit Make This 1KVA (1000 watts) Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Circuit.

There are many things that must be taken care of here. The circuit will require a dual battery supply, example 2nos
24V batts in series. the series connection will become the ground.
the preset will need to be adjusted correctly or alternatively it can be simply replaced with two series connected
1N4148 diodes, anode up, cathode down.
try with the 555 circuit rst and using just two mosfets

thank you for the replied but sir i still don't get you right can you please come again or you mean all the 20 mosfets
should be the same mosfets? and also the diode (1s207) i never head that kind of that diode before any diode can be
use or what is the value of it? thank you looking forward to hear from you stay bless.

all the upper n-mosfets are same and all the lower p-mosfets are same.
you can use 1N4148 diode in place of the shown unknown diode.

I just cut/pasted the rst mosfet section across for indicating the following identical moset stages, that's why it's
showing a repetition of the same mosfet, please ignore it, and simply repeat all the section identically with 0.22
resistors on each and every mosfet source

Mr swagatam thank you for the good job sir i want to build this circuit named Make This 1KVA (1000 watts) Pure Sine
Wave Inverter Circuit to power my house so please help me build it my 1th question im going for the LM555 where is
that point show 3 to 15v dc from pin 4 of the ic lm555 going to connect second question in the TL072 A1,A2 where is
the point show plus symbol from pin8 of the A1 connect and A2 pin7.can i use one of this mosfets IRFP250 IRFP260 AND
2N3205 OR 2N3055 please sir kindly help me cos we having a lots of problem in our electricity thank you i am looking
forward to hear from you son.

Hi Stev,

you will need two 12V bats connected in series for operating the above inverter. Meaning together the battery will
generate 24V

The series connection will become the ground (earth symbol) of the system.

For the IC 555, the positive of the battery which generates 24V will become its positive supply while the series link of
the batts will become the ground of the circuit, same can be done for the A1/A2 circuit if it's being used in place of
the 555.
This also means that the earth or the ground of all the circuits can be made into a common line.
pin7 of A2 will connect with the inverter input.

Hi, I'm building a hydro, as a generator I'm using truck alternator 24V 100A, could I use the above design inclusive PWM,
and also what would I have to change in order to double its output to 2kV ?
Thank you for your reply. Ladia

Yes you can use it.

You can increasing the input voltage and the trafo primary voltage appropriately for increasing the output wattage to
the desired levels, without increasing mosfets nos.

C2 is for keeping pin#5 unresponsive to stray noise and disturbance that may be present in the supply and
atmosphere

That won't be enough, you will need a minimum 200 watt panel for charging a 200 AH battery within 6 hours, please
con rm it further with your panel dealer

Hi Kabir,

50 watt panel is too low to power an inverter directly, you will need at least a 100 watt solar panel for this.

You can try a simple inverter circuit that's explained in the following article:

The above circuit will work with 12V supply also, but with 12V supply a 1000 watt inverter will become too heavy with
thick wires and huge heatsinks, that's why higher voltage is recommended.

To make an UPS you will need to make a inverter rst, so you can begin with the above circuit, once you nish this I'll
help you to proceed with the further things.
