I think a great addition to the project is the ability to select voltage and frequency. It would really be useful when testing equipment from foreign countries, like testing 120v/60Hz appliances in 230v/50Hz countries.
For 120v the output DC voltage shout be half, or around 170-200v, and to change to 60Hz, you only need to make a jumper on the control board, there are a lot of information about (the board is egs002), you also need to change the voltage divide om the output so the board doesn't think it is under voltage or something like that...

I took a look at the schematics and... I think that the bridge rectifier is not rated for high frequency, that may explain the low efficiency at light loads, and may cause catastrophic failure at higher loads.... The ideal is to use fast recovery diodes... And for 500w, that shunt resistor will do nothing I think... The voltage drop the egs002 board detect is 0,5v I think, and for 500w 0,25 ohms should be enough for 2amps overload at the output
You did well but you need protection at the high frequency side for short circuit , low battery warning and low battery cuttoff including overload protection

Hi @Electronoobs, can you tell me what value capacitor is on that commercial inverter at 0:38. I have a 1600w spwm with ththe exact layout as you have except it only have 2 boost transformer. the cap on mine is only 68uf where for that sort of power I would be expecting at least 120uf. thanks

Same issue happening with the drill machine, when I trigger the drill machine voltage starts decreasing. Please help me to resolve this issue, ands feel free to reply if someone faced the same issue previously. Thanks ;)
Couple of component and layout pointers. I think I know where much of that 20 watts was going……I bet that full bridge rectifier was hot as hell….they are designed for low frequencies only and commutate far to slowly for use off a high frequency switchmode transformer….iuse four fast diodes like RF1005TF6S or equivlent….and put them on a heatsink. The layout issue was those two 100n caps BEHIND the inverting H-Bridge MOSFETS making it difficult to get a good solid heatsink mounted there, if you move those to the front or put them underneath, then a heatsink can be mounted to both the boaed and FETs. Don,t forget the sil pad to isola te the backs of the FETs from the heatsink. Cheers fron Tasmania!
Hello. Can you help, please? I can't see when I try to buy this PCB any details on the transformer. If I'll buy those PCBs, where can I find the details what transformer I should use?
I’m pretty impressed that you’ve done this from scratch 👏 The 12V input looks a little on the the slim side if you were to go up to 500W - 40+ Amps doesn’t seem likely with that ready made board 😬😳
Performance measurements would be interesting: frequency deviation, jitter, max. current, short circuit behavior etc. Also a suitable air gap between DC and AC is mandatory. Greets from an HW engineer.
Thank you for this great video. I have wanted to make a few of these for myself for sometime but didn't want to pay $200-300 for one quality full sine wave inverter.
Awesome man! On your way to making a all in one welder that can do the aluminum DCEN & DCEP offset waveform control for the balance function welding. Like for weld penetration and oxidation removal. That seems to be the most expensive function and doesn't seem that complicated once understood how to control the waveforms.
Hey what's up with your sine wave? That fat scope trace looks like it has a bunch of high frequency harmonics superimposed on it. If it really is an instability then it's probably burning a bunch of power trying to keep itself stable 😬
I tried building this on a homemade pcb and cant seem to get it working! everything seems to work but the igbt bridge! I attached my oscilloscope to the output of igbt bridge when I turn it on it switches erratically for a few seconds then the high side and low side short through! I desoldered the igbts and soldered new ones in, I turn it on same thing happens, erratic switching for a few seconds followed by the igbts shorting! What could be causing the problem? The gates of the igbts are connected to the correct pins on egs002. I probed the 4148 fast switching diodes connected to the gate and source of the igbts and did get some confusing results but not sure if the transistors can through off the measurement since their soldered in. The 4148 diodes dont look burned so I'm kind of stumped. 🤷
I did this exact project. Stage one I got 380 to 390 volts dc. Stage 2 I got 18v, 15v and 5v. After adding the rest components and connecting to 12v the inverter turns on but no output current. The egs002 blinks 4 times and off for 3 sec ls and keeps doing that. I am not sure what I did wrong but one thing I must point out is the huge coil I got it from another inverter I have so I am not sure if that's the issue because I didn't buy the exact used in the video. Please any assistance will be greatly appreciated
Great video. I really wanted to have a block explanation of an inverter. By the way what was the inductance of the larger Inductor and is it super precise on its mH?
When we calculated as per your design, the switching frequency of the Transformer is 2 KHz. However, the board that you removed the transformer from, works on 20KHz, please let us know what is your design frequency for this Transformer? BTW, Many thanks for posting this project here!
You should add a way for the capacitors to discharge slowly and an indication that this has (not yet) happened. A large value resistor(s) and a led maybe?
Andrei, Another fantastic project. This was very educational and interesting. I began to wonder what would be necessary to convert to 120 V output at 60 Hz since I live in the U.S. I saw the comments by Victor Silva and yourself below. So that pretty much answered that question (frequency sounds easy with voltage being a little harder). Thank you for creating this wonderful project and sharing it. It was very enjoyable to watch.
Frequency is easy to change. For the voltage, you would need to supply the IGBT bridge with 220V instead of 380V. That's why the transformer has 2 outputs. But you will need to change the PCB so the 220V is connected to the IGBT instead of 380V. I haven't tested this yet so this is only a recomendation. Have that in mind!
At 10:25 , 20w is too much for 40w ac! I think you research more for improving the efficiency and find the hungry culprit But at the end of the day, it was a great project. Thank you so much.
Awesome project. How would you make it such that can change the frequency (1-10kHz) and the voltage (1-220v). So like a fixed voltage power supply but variable voltage bench power supply.

Even designed one. its Great, like this! I was waiting !
pm me can you to install do solar panel of charger
@@anwin85alon yes ! this is not chager. only inverter
if you add a solar panel use MPPT or PWM chager.
Couple of component and layout pointers. I think I know where much of that 20 watts was going……I bet that full bridge rectifier was hot as hell….they are designed for low frequencies only and commutate far to slowly for use off a high frequency switchmode transformer….iuse four fast diodes like RF1005TF6S or equivlent….and put them on a heatsink.
The layout issue was those two 100n caps BEHIND the inverting H-Bridge MOSFETS making it difficult to get a good solid heatsink mounted there, if you move those to the front or put them underneath, then a heatsink can be mounted to both the boaed and FETs. Don,t forget the sil pad to isola te the backs of the FETs from the heatsink.
Cheers fron Tasmania!
Could you cover more detail on the transformer you used, or how to design on correctly?
Hello. Can you help, please? I can't see when I try to buy this PCB any details on the transformer. If I'll buy those PCBs, where can I find the details what transformer I should use?
I've got this PCB, EGS002 and those 500W inverters from China. Started to assemble it. I will keep updates on my YT channel about it.
Oh man I would love the 3Phase Version of this!!!!
So if you were to use a boost converter to step up efficiently to 220vDC you can increase your efficiency right?
Cordial saludo, muy bueno su video, que modificaciones se hacen para construirlo de 12vdc a 120vac
Hello, how to change the frequency to 60 Hz?
Where can I find 500w transformer modul?
Amazing work! Keep it up!
Do this have protections like battery low cutoff, short circuit protection etc.?
I would think that it has those protections and they wouldn't be very effective even if it had them
Your videos are amazing!
I’m pretty impressed that you’ve done this from scratch 👏 The 12V input looks a little on the the slim side if you were to go up to 500W - 40+ Amps doesn’t seem likely with that ready made board 😬😳

A good project indeed. Could you provide schematics in some more editable format?
How much efficiency increase if we use synchronous rectification
Can the frequency be adjusted? I want to control the speed of an induction motor
If you mean frequencies higher than 60Hz or lower than 50Hz then I think a Variable Frequency Drive is what you are looking for
Performance measurements would be interesting: frequency deviation, jitter, max. current, short circuit behavior etc.
Also a suitable air gap between DC and AC is mandatory.

Thank you for this great video.
I have wanted to make a few of these for myself for sometime but didn't want to pay $200-300 for one quality full sine wave inverter.

Awesome man! On your way to making a all in one welder that can do the aluminum DCEN & DCEP offset waveform control for the balance function welding. Like for weld penetration and oxidation removal. That seems to be the most expensive function and doesn't seem that complicated once understood how to control the waveforms.
Soft are hard starting capacitors added with a bleed resistor (I forget if they come with already) might stabilize the startup slight brownout?
Is there a 110/220v 60hz board?
Inspiring video, thanks for making it :)
U welcome :)

Hey what's up with your sine wave?
That fat scope trace looks like it has a bunch of high frequency harmonics superimposed on it.
If it really is an instability then it's probably burning a bunch of power trying to keep itself stable 😬
Great job!!!
I tried building this on a homemade pcb and cant seem to get it working! everything seems to work but the igbt bridge! I attached my oscilloscope to the output of igbt bridge when I turn it on it switches erratically for a few seconds then the high side and low side short through! I desoldered the igbts and soldered new ones in, I turn it on same thing happens, erratic switching for a few seconds followed by the igbts shorting! What could be causing the problem? The gates of the igbts are connected to the correct pins on egs002. I probed the 4148 fast switching diodes connected to the gate and source of the igbts and did get some confusing results but not sure if the transistors can through off the measurement since their soldered in. The 4148 diodes dont look burned so I'm kind of stumped. 🤷
Hello where is the link of the schematic diagram please
I did this exact project. Stage one I got 380 to 390 volts dc. Stage 2 I got 18v, 15v and 5v. After adding the rest components and connecting to 12v the inverter turns on but no output current. The egs002 blinks 4 times and off for 3 sec ls and keeps doing that. I am not sure what I did wrong but one thing I must point out is the huge coil I got it from another inverter I have so I am not sure if that's the issue because I didn't buy the exact used in the video. Please any assistance will be greatly appreciated
Great video. I really wanted to have a block explanation of an inverter. By the way what was the inductance of the larger Inductor and is it super precise on its mH?
Great job! Saludos 😄
Nice 💕💕💕 I love it but sir what for short circuit protection I need any solution for Short circuit
When we calculated as per your design, the switching frequency of the Transformer is 2 KHz. However, the board that you removed the transformer from, works on 20KHz, please let us know what is your design frequency for this Transformer? BTW, Many thanks for posting this project here!
I got the same 2Khz frequency. Also, is it possible to set the EGS002 to 120v, or do I have to trick the feedback circuit?
You should add a way for the capacitors to discharge slowly and an indication that this has (not yet) happened. A large value resistor(s) and a led maybe?
Muy bueno !!! Hace tiempo quiero hacer uno pero con mucha mas potencia !!! Abrazo desde Argentina
And it looks great. Nice work.

Amazing work 👏
Andrei,
Another fantastic project. This was very educational and interesting. I began to wonder what would be necessary to convert to 120 V output at 60 Hz since I live in the U.S. I saw the comments by Victor Silva and yourself below. So that pretty much answered that question (frequency sounds easy with voltage being a little harder). Thank you for creating this wonderful project and sharing it. It was very enjoyable to watch.
Frequency is easy to change. For the voltage, you would need to supply the IGBT bridge with 220V instead of 380V. That's why the transformer has 2 outputs. But you will need to change the PCB so the 220V is connected to the IGBT instead of 380V. I haven't tested this yet so this is only a recomendation. Have that in mind!
I understand. Thank you!
How to buy this pcb and other materials sir??
At 10:25 , 20w is too much for 40w ac!
I think you research more for improving the efficiency and find the hungry culprit But at the end of the day, it was a great project.
Thank you so much.
Where can we download the schematic?
What changes need to make 1000w ?
Awesome project. How would you make it such that can change the frequency (1-10kHz) and the voltage (1-220v).
So like a fixed voltage power supply but variable voltage bench power supply.
Can I use this with 220V/60HZ Out?
