Hey guys, I am new here!!! I been having some trouble with my inverter design. ok here's the deal i used transistors to drive my H bridge mosfet to put out a 12 Vac square wave signal. for now i am just simulating this in my multisim. I got the 12 vac output but when i send it to my transformer center tapped at 12 vdc. it gives me error. can someone help me. I am using a 555 timer IC. But i also tried just using freq. generator and running it through a rectifier to generate my PWM signal.
PWM - 5v 60Hz
how do you i attach my circuit on the site.
This is not an actual circuit i will be building i am just messing around to see if i can build a simple inverter.
12dc to 120 vac i am looking for.
PWM -> transistor drive -> H bridge Mosfet ->Transformer
if that link doesn't work, click "User Cp" / "Pictures & Albums" upload your image there (somewhere), make a note of the upload url, insert the image in the posting by clicking the "insert image" button above where you write the text
Just take the outer taps of the transformer and attach each to the points between the high-side and low side transistors. As in right in the middle of the h-bridge, attach one side of the transformer to the left node in between the high and low transistors, then repeat on the other side.
It's the same place you would put a motor if it was a motor controller.
thanks smanches. Ok i am getting a good reading form the transformer, but the square wave is lost. I am getting a oscillating signal with a high edge then a crash back down to zero. could this be due to the bjt's switching speed. if i use a mosfet driver would it be better. Also, can anyone give me a circuit for mosfet driver interface with H bridge.
