The first correct EGS002 video
I've been looking for one for a long time, but he talked to everyone.
Thank you very much!
I love how thorough you were about mentioning everything you did in the video.
for me who just self studied electronics, your explanation is easy to understand. thank you very much for the knowledge you share
Thanks! Glad it helps! :)
@@TechBuilder I tried building this design but when I turn on 12v input the 10ohm resistors getting hot an the led blinks 3 times to indicate over voltage. Do you know what can cause this problem the circuit is identical
Part 2 please! I want to know if it heats up quickly and how many amps it draws on the battery without any load.... thank you.
Something you can just plug in and use like the one you have just built. Thanks for the good work you are doing to open up our thinking outside the box.
I would like this project to be portable to become a complete system. Charges the battery when plugged in and runs on battery when the power is off. You have gained a subscriber. I love what you do and the explanations are very good for a French like me.
Excellent video Angelo 👍.
I have purchased this module long time ago to make an inverter, but still now I have not tried. This video inspired me to have a try with your simplified PCB. Thanks a lot dude.
Thanks deba! It's a nice and flexible module hehe. I do suggest modifying the PCB adding a separate regulator at the 12v line so it could be used for higher voltage input builds :)
@@TechBuilder Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try.
TechBuilder love your channel and your work is amazing. i would love to see how you assemble the solar power box. i have a question, i notice you didn't ground the inverter to nothing, i have took a 1500 watt inverter a part a notice that they had ti ground to the casing of the inverter, do you got to ground your inverter or is it already grounded when connecting it to the battery makes it grounded. Please let me know....Peace
Very smart move designing and building a low frequency, transformer based inverter instead of a high frequency, transformerless inverter. Low frequency inverters like the one that you designed, last far longer and offer a much higher surge capacity than cheap, high frequency transformerless inverters. How about designing a larger, 3 or 4kW low frequency inverter? That would be awesome!
You are a great man....shearing such an expensive knowledge with people ...greeting you from Nigeria Africa.
With this a DIY double conversion online UPS is not to far away. Hope you make a project like that soon.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS TUTORIAL FOR THE EGS002 BOARD FOR YEARS! YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!!! The only tutorial I can find was GreatScott's, which wasn't that great. Others barely talked on how to build the board, since they just film kit boards. Looking forward to Part 2 -5! I really want to know the fundamentals on how the EGS002 works. You did a really great job! Subbed!
Me too waiting for part 2.
greatscott is the best
Thanks! Stay tuned! :)
@@TechBuilder 👍🏻
@@TechBuilder love your videos already watched 3 times.
Well done, very clear, and very complete! High quality!
I really like your video, simple and straight away to the point
good job, but that tank capacitor on input will not love heat from heatsinks
Thanks! I had the same hunch. Luckily the MOSFETs aren't running that hot. The transformer on the other hand is a lot hotter.
@@TechBuilder of course the transformer is going to get hot A/C to the load due to the eddy currents generated you should add the cooling system to the transformer too!
I was about to write the same comment but very nice job
@@TechBuilder The transformer stays hot for a really long time.
@@devenpatil2343 a fan on top or somthing connect it directly to the 12v battery.
Not the best idea but bc it starts as the inverter starts it might slow down the heating. Idk try it
You are a Genius. You will do great things in your life.
Amen
I made a 300 watt inverter from a KIT many moons ago. It did not feature a pure sinewave ouput, infact not even a modified sinewave! - its output was a square wave at 50Hz | 240VAC RMS.
It powered incandescent lights, CRT televisions, arcade game machines and computers. In fact this was so long ago that the common man did not know what an inverter was. Everyone that saw my toy wanted to buy it!!!
I used to use it t ok power computers at a flea market to show people that the computers work, increasing my chances of a sale. Many people said to me "how much for the box powering the computer?"
I used car batteries as the DC source, but I do of course realize now that deep cycle SLAs are the more appropriate choice of battery to use.
Thanks for a great video friend. 5☆ quality - you are a genius.
Thanks man! COOL! Those days! ❤️ I built one too back in 2010 using a 2N3055 and NE555. It was pretty dangerous without output regulation but worked pretty well, handy too hahaha. I could relate from it being a party trick project! Inverters were pretty cool before they became extremely cheap and common.
Thanks for clear explanation and providing schematic and pcb file
I'll be updating this pinned post often:
- The setup itself isn't 1000W overall, the board on the other hand can handle 1kVA transformers, if connected to a proper transformer it should achieve 1kW.
- Still waiting for the 1kVA UPS transformer I ordered.
- The design was from the suggested schematic on the application notes with reference to 1kW EGS002 kit boards from forums.
- MOSFETs were connected in parallel to reduce on-resistance and distribute the heat.
- A larger heatsink may be required for larger transformer setups.
- Please wait for part 2. Revisions have to be done on the board to work universally with inputs up to 80VDC. I prefer higher voltage variants as line traces would be able to accomodate the currents as currents are lower on higher voltage setups. TVS diodes were added on version 2 to suppress trancients. An XL7005A was added to feed the gate drive and a 78M05 for the logic supply.
- A suggestion was made on adding an inductor along the line to reduce the not so good standby current this current version has.
Yes sir. Thank you so much. i'm waitting new update. !!!
Can you also measure the efficiency of your design? I think its better id you add a reverse voltage protection (using a Mosfet) and an inrush current limiter (maybe using LTC7004) to prevent sparking due to high inrush because of your tank capacitor in your input side. Here's the link you can use for reverse polarity protection using mosfet. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.infineon.com/dgdl/Reverse-Batery-Protection-Rev2.pdf%3FfileId%3Ddb3a304412b407950112b41887722615&ved=2ahUKEwiNmKCUgoLtAhXQfd4KHV6RATwQFjAPegQIDRAB&usg=AOvVaw2eSUGgd99Sukx99QiUQxRf
Would love to see the tutorial on transformers too, thanks
Someday! :)
I just like the way you explain stuff and I am an instant fan.
Edit: I also like the way you talk
WoW that is a real nice made video. Thanks for uploading.
On second thought, I'll just buy one.
It's for only DIY Makers and DIY Lover's
there are places where buy is more expensive than craft it yourself and you may get scammed (pure sine wave without load) if you buy one
Feel free to do so, but keep in mind that "modified sine wave" inverters are NOT sine wave inverters and they cannot be used on inductive loads. And pure sine wave inverters are pricey.
this is not for kids stfu
@@CoolKoon You seem well-versed in this topic. I'm confused about two things:
1)Why is there only one fan?
2)Does this inverter maintain a pure sine wave output under load?
Hello po! I love your videos. Keep doing it! Your'e gonna be big someday kid.
Thanks sir!
Perfect Video
Inventory explained in details
Kudos to you
Thank you for the project. I will try to collect this for a friend in a private house. Good luck in new crafts. Sincerely, Ilya Borisovich.
Wow, excellent project and lots of complete info and explanations. Waiting for next episodes.
I guess it would be too current demanding on de DC side, I was thinking about an alternative to run from 24 or 48VDC so we could increase the output power provided we could get a transformer up to the task. But many circuits such as 7805 and egs002 don't seem to work above 15v, and probably some others components too.
Hope you could built a very high power version that's competitive in price comparing the very expensive sine waves inverters on sale.
use a simple lm317 or smt similar to regulate the voltage to 12-15v
I have to point out that many (maybe most) film type capacitors can have a very short life when they are connected across AC power at “mains” voltage levels. I recommend that you find capacitors for that function that are specifically rated for the AC voltage level AND that carry markings showing that they comply with the various international safety agencies; such capacitors are intended to operate in this particular manner.
Those capacitors that only have a DC voltage rating (the default voltage rating type is DC when AC is not specified) don’t ever get subjected to very high AC currents, but the AC currents across a power line are unpredictable and can be high if high frequency interference sources are plugged in.
Hi, I find your comment very interesting, is this applicable to all the listed capacitors used here for this build, i.e.,
- 470nF 25v Capacitor
- 2.2uF +350v Capacitor
- 2.2uF 25v Capacitor
- 10uF 25v Capacitor
- 100uF 25v Capacitor
@@voiceofinsight5811 - the 25V capacitors aren’t seeing the full AC mains voltage. Capacitors that are placed in a circuit that exposes them to the AC mains should have safety agency approval markings showing that they have been examined and determined to be suitable for such use.
@@stevebabiak6997 Thanks for this clarification. Can the capacity of this build be increased to 2 kW only by increasing the transformer capacity to a 2 kW transformer or does any other component need to be changed, and, is the transformer ratio 7V:220V or 12V:220V.
@@voiceofinsight5811 - I did not design this circuit, so I can’t be 100%.
We don’t know the transformer power capability; if it isn’t capable of 2kW then you would have to identify one that can handle that much power (and I would find one with a 20% margin, so maybe 2.5kW).
Next the power output semiconductors have to be evaluated to see whether they could drive the additional power demand that will be present. Larger heat sinks might be needed. Higher power MOSFETs might be needed.
If you aren’t able to figure out all of that, you might be better off just buying something pre-built to deliver the power you seek. And safety agency approval is quite likely going to come with that pre-built unit, something that the DIY version won’t have. If something hazardous occurs (a fire or electric shock injury for example), any insurance company is going to look for safety agency approval.
It couldn't have been done better and so well explained. It is just what I was looking for. My intention is to recycle microwave transformers using the 220v input and replace only the 2kv output coil with a 12v one to use it in reverse and get the 1000w in this project. I like that the project uses a single coil transformer with no midpoint, which makes it easier to wind. Thanks for sharing your excellent work. Greetings from Argentina!
bro same! also i have a microwave transformer lying around and i think that i'll use that for the transformer
@@computerkiller1494 A microwave transformer can be re-wound to work but efficiency will suffer due to the transformer stampings having been welded together to minimise noise/vibration. This will increase eddy current losses.
@@rhiantaylor3446 yep but is better than nothing
Respect man, that's a complicated subject, 'pure sine wave inverters'. Where others just come & say you need to buy a professional inverter, sure, but I want to learn the inner workings . . .
I want to make the same project in 24v 1000w, it would be very useful if you could consider making a video about the necessary modifications for 24v dc input. Thanks for all !
I have the same request. hopefully he will do that soon or at least make a comment about it soon.
Hey bro I wanted this thank you, thanks a lot it's like I was searching how to make an inverter on Google and I got the notification
You're welcome. Enjoy!
@@TechBuilder bro could you add a feature to switch to power when power back and vice-versa so that I could use it power my routers and raspberry pi server, this will be a great help because online classes will not be interrupted.
@@AnilArya51 your router probably needs 12 volts to work just make a safety circuit and connect it to your battery
@@big_o1952 I have two of them (router) one is a onu supplied by the ISP and other is Tp-link wifi 5 router and also raspberry pi and power here fail when rain starts or breeze passes and I have the raspberry Pi when power goes it may get damaged.
Nice video, very well explained. Any chances you have something for 3 phases?
Hi keep it up. Ur doing great. Waiting for you other projects.
Man, you have one of the best video styles/presentations on YT I've seen. Great job, not sure how I missed you before. BTW, can this be scaled to US 120v ?
Just use another step up transformer
Да, плату EGS002 необходимо переключить (перемычками) на 60 Гц (В руководстве по EGS002 всё написано). Ну и использовать трансформатор 12/110 В.
@@danielflores3363 Thanks, that should have been obvious.
believe me.. I will never build it.. but it was so interesting to watch! :)
Why not?

Love to see the Vedio. Planning to make some inverter with your PCB kit.
you just fished a new subscriber, great video. thanks
Excellent tutorial. I wish i could slow it down to 85% as 75% is a little trailing, but I'll rewind as needed instead. I definitely will study your instructable, mostly when you release your part 4: Smart 48VDC version. It would be awesome if it had a center tap on the secondary winding of the output transformer so that we can have the option to wire it at 110VAC for common US appliances.
you can directly use a 110v transformer instead of the 220v used in the video
can't you ajust it to 110v with the volt damper thing he used to go from 200-220v
@@computerkiller1494can you find a link to one? I been searching the past half hour and keep only finding inverters
@@shilohwehrmacht2947 a link to what? a 110v to 12v trasformer?
@@computerkiller1494 no 12 to 110?I'm trying to use it to convert into ac from 12 volt batteries and function on standard American appliances
This guy reminds me of greatscott lol
Lol. He made it too complex for himself.
Excellent video, is there a simple way to just use the filter you made on a modified sine wave inverter in order to clean the wave without the egs board?
This is very informative! I think this video is the inspiration of the very cheap yet fully functional Sunyima brand PSW inverters which is trending in the Philippines today for the DIY Portable Solar Generator. Thank you! I think I can learn many things in this channel. New subs here!
please make a three-phase version for charging European ev's
Can i use a toroïdal xformer instead of a "E/I" type ?
Yes. They are very silent. Be sure to check the power rating.
You're a genius! Thanks for this video.
Your project is great, but can you give a tutorial on how you made that home -made inverter circuit that can be used instead of the spwm panel
Thanks
It is very important that you use fast recovery diodes for the feedback instead of standard ones.
You can use for example FR107 or UF4007, but DON'T USE 1N4007!!!
Why?
At 60Hz I doubt it would be a problem. I never had problems with mine, but theoretically speaking, it would be slightly better to use FRDs.
@@TechBuilder its important because it needs to react as fast as possible to change the duty cycle when the output voltage is not correct (this rectifier is in the feedback). Sensitive devices could be destroyed if you use standard diodes.
This applicable in high frequency inverter
@@africantech5 No, it is applicable here too, because even though it is only 50Hz, during the recovery time, it could voltage spike dangerously, some devices may not like it at all!
0:36 Desktop computers are technically DC appliances. Internally they require only a source of 12V, 5V & 3V DC.
Not being pedantic, i mention it coz you can get pure DC power supplies for computers (require only a 12V DC input) and i think they're a really good idea. Wish i saw more of them.
They're probably really good for making your own UPS for your PC too - coz there's no need for an inverter, you just keep it DC the whole time, thus adding batteries into the mix is easy.
That's actually in my list of power electronics video tutorials in 2021. "Converting AC Appliances To DC" It's a brief tutorial on how to bypass the AC-DC portion frim devices, add connectors and proper switching regulators. This way you don't get to lose power from the typical DC-AC AC-DC convertion process from the typical PV setups. I'm also planning to build a proprietary plug for my workspace that acarries the 220VAC grid line and 48VDC directly from my battery & BMS. As for the PSU to inverter, it's not a bad idea! I've seen people make square wave inverters out of them. It will most probably lack some components for a pure sine, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the idea!
Nice. I must get a few of those pure sine wave boards. Must save this video.👍🇮🇪
Bless this Master of teaching. May the youtube ads god bless you.
It would be great if you could include the cost of the build
It would vary from where you get everything. Mine were sourced locally, the total cost was around 1,500php ($30). I'll update the links.
I love your work
Very nice and fast explanation 💯👍
Hi! Nice video and excellent project! Is it possible to connect this inverter to grid as a current source? Or it just works as a voltage source?
Very clever made Video!! AMAZING!
Fascinating video thanks man
great video man. One concern I would like to share, this transformer is a bit bulky, have you thought using a step up ferrite core transformer 12-0-220V? if yes let us know how would this be possible. Thanks
Bless this master of teaching.
I am design for 5kw. Please let me know what are the changes to do with Mosfets. And the exact part number of the transformer?
Now I know this SPWM module can be use in direct DC to AC with iron core transformer. Thanks.
Nice work, please how can this design be modified to be able to charge the batteries, thanks
Could you please provide the link for Part II and III you mentioned at the end of the video?
Thanks.
Can I use a impulse transformer for an inverter? I currently have a 240VAC to 36VAC and I was looking into modifying it's 36VAC to 12VAC by decreasing it's windings. Any thoughts on this approach?
Hi can you tell me if the pcb patterns you uploaded are reverse image or not because i'm using toner transfer film which requires reversed image. If not I can reverse them in photoshop. Cheers from Australia
Magnífico trabajo compañero....toda una obra de arte....muchísimas gracias por compartir con el canal.....un abrazo virtual desde Las Islas Canarias (España)......
Muchas Gracias!
If I may ask, why did you specify the types of resistors and capacitors to use? Can I use any one outside the ones you've listed?
Nice job! You mentioned on your written instruction on instructables web site that we can change the transformer and we could have 110VAC output and higher power. Is it possible to make one to output 4000W?
I have an old UPS, with stepped sine wave, is it possible to plug a version of this board at UPS power output and get a true sine wave ?
Hey. I have a similar roofing type to yours and I have no idea how do I mount my panels on my roof. How did you do yours?
Here’s a tip to some who already knows a lot: cut fiberglass PCBs using a paper guillotine. It works like magic.
Amazing. I will to construct this. But if the load is more then 1 kW power? have you idea for 1,5 kW or 3 kW power from 24v source?
Hello, im looking to build a 19v to 220v inverter so i can use cordless tool battery to power it, spec sheet for that driver board says it takes 10V-15V input, is there another version that will do 18v-20v? Id rather not use a dc-dc buck converter in between for more efficiency loss.
Very nice instruction set. I need a 3000W +/- 220v ac inverter for 16s lithium batteries thus need to use 66 - 48 V dc. Have you already talked about something like this or where can I go for information on that type of inverter. Thank You!
Really interested on how to make the pc board you use to connect to the IC sine wave generator!! I really like you video.. thank you for posting...
Good work. Thanks.
This is an excellent project. I have studied it in your instructable and I am waitting for the next parts you have commented.
Also I have a question to you: Have you experimented developing a Grid Tie Inverter? I an very interested in.
Regards and great congratulations for your work.
very well explained 👍
Please add some battery charge control circuits for lead acid battery to be used with this inverter.
Good day. Simple question: The pc board on your link looks a lot different to the one that you show here. This is because the one on your link has a solder mask, so we cannot see the lines on it? Just the solder points? Regards. Thanks. Nice tutorial.
Please upload the other parts. Need urgently. Thank you and grow more.
Such talent need a lots of views and like😊😊
Wow. This is great and thank you so much for sharing this among people. Can I use 8A 220V to 12V full wave transformer to get 1kv power output. What are the wires that I should use from DC side?
Thank You.
hi thank you my friend how much current it draws without any load ?
Great video but questions the gate diodes what type or they ziner or fast switching diodes

Another wonder One from You. Can you direct me on how to get the module, circuit Diagram of the hetched Board and other components.???
Thank you
hi, what is the differences between high power and low power inverter? are they same thing I mean, is the difference between the two just that they have different power?
First of all, thank you very much for this sharing. You have given the transformer ratio as 7-220V in the video description. But in the app you show 12V. Which one is right? I have a 12-220V transformer. Will it work on this project?
Greetings from Turkey.
Awesome awesome project i recently found you on fb 😲
Can we increase the more mosfects of the inverter circuit you designed and increase the number of 2000 watts, do we need to change the circuit for that ,,, ??
good job sir! may I know where did you bought your pocket oscilloscope and hm? thanks
Hi, 12V input to the EGS002 can be loaded up to how many volts?
