How to Build Homemade Power Inverters

Inverters, also known as power inverters, are generally used to invert direct voltage or electrical energy into alternating current electrical energy. By using an inverter, appliances and electrical devices that run on AC power can be run on a DC power supply. Two examplels of electrical appliances powered by an inverter are lights and fans during a power failure. Though purchasing an inverter can be costly, you can make your own homemade inverter much more economically.

Step 1
Measure six equal lengths of electrical wire wire and cut six identical pieces. Use the electrical pliers to strip approximately half-an-inch of insulation from each wire end.

Step 2
Attach one of the ends from the first electrical wire to one of the terminals on the 24V/120V center-tapped transformer's primary side and solder this connection. Attach one of the ends of the second wire to the transformer's other end terminal and solder this connection.

Step 3
Use the third wire to attach one of its ends to the transformer's center tap. Loosen the screw on the first battery clamp and insert the wire into the screw hole. Tighten the screw over the wire and solder the wire to the clamp.

Step 4
Loosen the screw for the second battery clamp and place one end of the fourth wire into this clamp. Tighten the screw over the wire and solder the wire to the second clamp.

Step 5
Join the free end of the first wire to the 47-microfarad electrolytic capacitor's negative lead, as well as the collector lead from the first transistor and one of the leads from the first 820 ohm resistor. Solder this quadruple connection.

Step 6
Join one of the leads from the 82 ohm resistor to the free lead from the second 820 ohm resistor, as well as the base lead from the first transistor. Solder this triple connection to secure.

Step 7
Attach the free end of the fourth wire to the unoccupied leads from the two 82 ohm resistors and the emitter leads from both transistors. Solder this quintuple-wire connection.

Step 8
Slide one ring terminal over the fifth wire and solder the wire to the ring. Attach the other ring terminal over the end of the sixth wire and solder the wire to the ring terminal.

Step 9
Attach the free end of the fifth wire to one of the transformer's secondary terminals and solder this wire connection. Join the unoccupied end of the sixth wire with the second transformer's secondary terminal and solder this connection.

Step 10
Join the battery clamp on the fourth wire to the positive terminal on the 12V battery and the battery clamp on the third wire to the negative battery terminal.
