Abstract

The design and realization of a DC to AC inverter prototype for household electronic applications are presented in this paper. The proposed inverter converts a 12 V DC input into a stable 220 V AC output at 50 Hz using a pulse width modulation (PWM) control technique with MOSFET-based switching. The inverter employs a push-pull topology with a step-up transformer and LC filtering to generate a quasi-sinusoidal waveform. The system is designed for low-power household loads up to 300 W. Experimental testing shows that the inverter produces an average output voltage of 220 ± 3 V AC with a total harmonic distortion (THD) below 5%, and achieves maximum efficiency of 88.9%. The prototype demonstrates reliable operation for various resistive and inductive loads such as lighting systems, fans, and televisions.
