Car batteries for powering you home? Build a low cost 12V to 220V (DC-AC) Pure Sine Wave Inverter from scratch! The project is based on the low cost EGS002 SPWM driver board module. The DIY inverter board can handle up to 1kW (depending on the transformer size). Around $30 was spent to build this project from locally sourced parts.
Features Of This Project:
Transformer can be replaced to work with 110V/220V/230V outputs
Has output voltage feedback (constant AC voltage output)
Undistorted pure sine wave output (with load)
Selectable Output Frequency (60Hz/50Hz)
Current Protection
Voltage Protection
Temperature Protection
Cooling Fan Output
LCD Screen (V,I,Freq,Temp)
Modular Swappable Design
Key Points:
Powerplants use generators that generate a pure sinewave output. It's what you would find from the grid. All our AC appliances were originally designed to run on this waveform.
A few years back sine wave inverters were extremely expensive ($200-$1000).
As a result square wave and modified square wave were the common and affordable options.
Square wave inverters are less efficient and can damage sensitive appliances.
Aside from being cheap and common, square wave inverters create that obnoxious humming noises in motors, transformers, mostly on everything you plug to it.
Theoretically, sine wave inverters are more efficient than square wave inverters depending on the implementation quality.
Things To Improve:
Part 2 of the video will show how to implement a single coil inductor for fast switching, replacing the EI core design used in this project. I'll see if it yields a higher efficiency than the EI core design from this tutorial.
Will update this tutorial for a more detailed bench test. I'm currently building a DC & AC Wattmeter SD datalogger for monitoring the data for this project and my future power electronics project.
Will implement SMT components to make the board smaller
The next single coil inductor design is expected to yield a smaller form factor, conversion higher efficiency and lower standby power consumption. The one on this project consumes 12W of power without load (a bit mehhh)
The current board in this board is limited to a 20VDC input due to the MOSFET driver gate drive source being tied to the Vcc and the 7805 regulator's input voltage limitation. I will reconfigure the board and replace the 7805 regulator with an XL7005A switching regulator and some linear regulators for different rails for the inverter board to work with 80V power sources (12V/24V/48V/72V).
Disclaimer:
Be extra careful with this project as it produces a High Voltage - High Current output. The board was designed to cater a 1kW transformer. Due to unavailability, I was only able to acquire a surplus 500W 12V-220V UPS Transformer. As far as it goes I was only able to reach 400W with minimal sine wave distortion. Part 2 of the video tutorial will show the troubleshooting process and connecting it to a bigger transformer. Part 3 will show the process behind designing user specific inverter using the EGS002 module and Part 4 on building a better inverter with a 48V input for my off-grid solar panel setup.

The EGS002 is a versatile $3 all-in-one solution for building Pure Sine Wave inverters. You can build low power to high power inverter units out of it! Right out of the box, It is not an inverter just yet. You would have to build a few components around it to make it into a functional inverter unit.
Why It Is So Good?
Decent high power commercial pure sine wave inverters are very expensive! They range from $120-$400. With the EGS002 you can design all sorts of with input voltage, output voltage and power ratings of your choice! For as low as $20, depending on your specs and where you source your components.
What's On The EGS002 Board?
EG8010 SOIC Microcontroller - The EGS002 uses an EG8010 an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) microcontroller chip designed to output SPWM logic signals for driving H-Bridge inverters. The chip is also equipped with I/Os specifically designed for closed loop voltage monitoring, cut-off current monitoring, temperature monitoring and fan drive output. Unlike Arduino based inverter project, the chip is preprogrammed and is ready to use.
High Side & Low Side MOSFET/IGBT Driver - The board also contains two IR2110S MOSFET drivers for driving an All N-Channel H-bridge MOSFET arrangement for SPWM and polarity switching to the transformer or inductor. This chip ensures that the low side and the high side MOSFETs (specifically) are fully saturated. This prevent power losses from on-resistance by supplying the gates with their proper gate voltages to ensure they have the least on-resistance with respect to its specs.
OP-AMP For Current Sensing - The board has a LM393 OP-AMP to amplify the voltage from the shunt resistor. The amplified voltage goes back to the EG8010's analog input as the chip uses it for overcurrent protection
LCD Ready Display Output - The EG8010 microcontroller has already been pre-programmed to work with a proprietary LCD display. You can add a dollar to the $3 EGS002 unit to get the extra LCD screen. This displays the output voltage, current, temperature and frequency mode.
Single LED Error Display - There's one red LED on the board that would blink for a specific number of times to display errors for troubleshooting.
Stay tuned for the next video and Instructable tutorial as I won't delve much into the reverse engineering and design process of building user specific inverter board with the EGS002 on this tutorial.
At the rear upper left side of the EGS002, there is a number of solder pad jumpers for configuring specific board parameters. You can refer to the photo above for the table of possible settings. For beginner hobbyists who find the datasheet instructions confusing, here's a simplified instruction below
Jumper Setting Detailed Instructions:
Set AC Frequency - Depending on which country or continent you live in, appliance AC frequency would vary. For example: In the Philippines and America it is 60Hz in India, China and Europe it is 50Hz. Try to research on your country's appliance frequency before setting this. By default it is set to 50Hz.
Set To 60Hz - Solder JP1 and desolder JP5.
Set To 50 Hz - Solder JP5 and desolder JP1.
LCD Backlight - If you have the EGS002 + LCD combo package, you can disable the LED backlight of the LCD screen if you want to save extra power. You can also sell a switch across JP9 if you want to have the freedom to turn it on and off anytime. This is set to on by default.
Enable LCD Backlight - Solder JP9.
Disable LCD Backlight - Desolder JP9.
Soft Start Mode - Soft start mode is a nice feature to prevent a surge of power draw once you connect the DC power source to the inverter while a load is attached. With soft start mode, the voltage will slowly increase to your set output voltage for 3 seconds (ex: 0V-220V in 3 seconds). This also prevents huge sparks when connecting your inverter to your battery. If you are planning to build a UPS circuit, you will have to disable it.
Enable 3s Soft Start - Solder JP2 together and desolder JP6.
Disable Soft Start - Solder JP6 together and desolder JP2.
Deadtime - Deadtime is the time in seconds for the MOSFETs to turn off before switching phases. This is done to prevent cross-conduction (quick short) across the half-bridge MOSFET (vertical MOSFET pair) during high speed switching of he H-Bridge setup. 300ns seems fine for most setups, a slower deadtime of 1.5us must be used for high gate capacitance MOSFETs. I suggest to leave these jumpers by default.
300ns Deadtime - Desolder JP3 and JP4 then solder JP7 and JP8.
500ns Deadtime - Desolder JP4 and JP7 then solder JP3 and JP8.
1.0us Deadtime - Desolder JP3 and JP8 then solder JP4 and JP7.
1.5us Deadtime - Desolder JP7 and JP8 then solder JP3 and JP4
As discussed on the video, the left block of schematic refers to what's on the EGS002 board, and the one on the right is the circuit that we would have to build in order to build a fully functional inverter. I barely made adjustments for this one since the sample datasheet schematic would serve well for a 16 MOSFET configuration too.
My Tweaks From The Datasheet Sample Schematic:
I bound the MOSFET Drain pins, 12v cooling fan and 12v pin of the EGS002 as my Vcc (input power source). Take note that the 12v pin of the EGS002 is what supplies the IR2110S driver controlled outputs for your MOSFETs gates. This means the maximum input voltage for the inverter is limited to the max gate voltage of your MOSFET (typically 20v) and your 5V regulator's max input voltage (35v for 7805). I'll post another tutorial soon for higher input voltage inverter systems (24v/48v/72v). I also connected 4 MOSFETs in parallel for each of the 4 MOSFETs used in the H-Bridge setup, giving a total of 16 MOSFETS. This was done to decrease the on-resistance of the system to accommodate more powerful transformers (+1kw at 12v). You can choose to leave some MOSFET slots blank for 4/8/12 MOSFET arrangements. A 7805 regulator on the other hand was connected to the 12V Vcc line to supply a constant 5V to 5V pin of the EGS002 (used for the logic components).
For this project, I decided to do a homebrew double sided PCB so that the old school hobbyists can enjoy the tedious process (LOL). Instead of toner transfer, I used the Photosensitized PCB fabrication method, similar to what factories use. It is inkjet friendly unlike toner transfer fabrication. If you are new to photosensitized PCBs, you can watch my other detailed video tutorial above. You can download the printable PDF files for the rendered PCB artwork down below. You can use it for all homebrew PCB, methods.
