220V HOMEMADE PORTABLE POWER INVERTER

Hello friends

This is a tutorial about “How to make a 220V portable power inverter” This inverter is capable to power CFLs,tube lights,dc fan ext. it can handle up to 150W.even you can charge your laptop and mobile

Note: this is a 220v, 50Hz square wave inverter

First things first. you need an inverter. I am using an IC based inverter just because of its price to performance ratio

Fig shows the circuit diagram of the CD 4047 based inverter. It’s a square wave inverter capable to handle up to 180W.to get maximum efficiency I am using IRFZ44 power MOSFET

These are the components you need for the inverter

1 - IC CD4047

2 - 18 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Connector

3 - 1K, 18K, & 100Ω- (1W x 2) Resistors

4 - 0.22µF Capacitor ( any type)

5 - 12V rechargeable battery

6 - PCB board

7 - IRFZ44 MOSFET x 2(use suitable heat sinks)

8 - 3 PIN PCB Mount Screw Terminal Block Connectors

9 - 12-0-12, 10A center tapped transformer

10 - wires

The total costs of these components are less than $20 (1500 Indian rupees)

Fig shows the finished circuit. Designing of the circuits is deepening on your ability. I am not an “electronics man” so I am using an ordinary PCB board

Now

we want to make a box .I am using an old ups box as cover and some plywood to make the base

You can use any type of box or container for your inverter

My box has two parts. One is a plywood base to mound everything and second is a metal cover to protect the components

Now we want to connect the whole parts together

Fig show the whole circuit

Now we can put everything inside the box

I am using 6A three pin sockets as outlet with a 6A switch

Finally I added stereo jack connector as charging port

I am using a 15v 2A homemade charger to charge the battery

This is the circuit of my charger

The best part is you can also charge the battery with solar panels

Now this is the finished portable power inverter

You can carry it anywhere you want .total weight of the inverter is around 3Kg
