Step 2: Circuit Diagram & Other Details

For construction of this project we are using 4047 IC which is an lower power mono-stable/astable multi-vibrator. The circuit is assembled to be a astable multi-vibrator.

The frequency of the circuit is around 50Hz, (You can alter the frequency of the circuit by changing the value of C1 & R1)

The MOSFET's are connected in a push pull configuration which will switch according to the pulse from the astable multi-vibrator. The MOSFET's should be connected to a heat sink.

The transformer is one of the main components which is a normal step down center tapped transformer which is easily available in the market. The transformer is connected in the reverse manner or inverted manner to give a output of 240volt. if the voltage rating in your country is 110v then i recommend using a transformer with the rating 110v to 12-0-12 volt.

The output of this inverter is around 60 watts. The output depends on the voltage & current rating of your battery.
