Simple 220V inverter circuit for transformers with two terminals

Typically, the simplest converter from 12 to 220 V is built on one transistor and a transformer with a three-terminal primary winding. By positive feedback, the generator on the transistor is excited and generation occurs. The converted voltage is removed from the secondary winding. Despite the simplest circuit, such a converter has a number of big disadvantages, namely:
  • a transformer with such windings is difficult to sodium, they are usually rewound themselves;
  • The generation frequency cannot be changed, since it depends on the resonance.

The scheme described below does not have all these disadvantages. It uses a “walking” transformer, which can be found in old power supplies or chargers. The frequency can be adjusted to close to 50 Hz and power consumers sensitive to the output frequency.

The transformer has two windings. One is 220 V, the other is 12 V AC.

Inverter circuit

The single-cycle converter (inverter) circuit consists of a powerful field-effect transistor switch IRFZ44N and a pulse generator built on the common NE555 counter chip. Using variable resistor R2, you can adjust the frequency of the generator.

Converter manufacturing

Let's start assembling a simple inverter. For clarity, all installation will be carried out using wall-mounted installation.

We fix the microcircuit and solder the circuits according to the circuit diagram. For ease of output, the microcircuits were unbent.

We fix the transistor and solder a resistor to it.

We solder the key and the generator together. This results in a single scheme.

We solder the circuit to the transformer, namely to the output of the 12 V winding.

Connecting the power wires

We solder a load in the form of an LED lamp to the output from the 220 V transformer.

We supply power from a 12 V battery.

As you can see: the LED bulb shines perfectly.

The power of such an inverter does not exceed 5 W, but if desired, it can be increased by using a more powerful transformer.
