100 watts, 24 VDC to 230 VAC rms pure sine wave out
Sinewave Inverter with Power Factor Correction
Power inverters are used to generate AC powerline voltages like 230 VAC or 115 VAC in the field, using high capacity 12-V or 24-V vehicle batteries. They come in a wide variety of output powers (anything between 15 and 1,000 W) and quality of the AC output voltage (anything from abominable to pure sinewave). Some models even have output voltage regulation. Few, however, combine power factor correction (PFC) with ‘pure-sine-wave-out’; hence, a suggested design appears in this article, along with a light theoretical background.
