Hopefully? Another 48vdc-240vac Toriod Inverter build.

Both Solar and 12V-48V inverters. From a quick search           Quote   LF inverters have big heavy transformers in them. They are generally more reliable, they weigh a lot more for the same power rating, and they can handle inrush motor currents much better.   Quote   HF inverters have tiny transformers, they are cheap to manufacture, they weigh a lot less, and they are usually (but not always) more efficient.. but not by much.   Quote   The high frequency inverter can deliver the same power at higher frequency with a much smaller and lighter transformer, as a result, the HF inverter is often called transformer-less inverter, or TL inverter   Quote   By definition, Low frequency power inverters got the name of “low frequency” because they use high speed power transistors to invert the DC voltage to AC power, but the LF inverter drives transistors at the same power frequency (60 Hz or 50Hz) as the AC sine wave power output voltage. This link below, to me, is a HF inverter as it's based on the EGS8002, 25kHZ & 50/60 Hz (or what ever) but many forums and web sites refer to this an LF inverter? which is the mistake I obviously made.     Inverter Driver board This inverter below is what I refereed to as a HF inverter, a LV DC to HV DC input board and a HV DC to 240Vac board - No Large Transformer. Likely wrong term by me again. DC inverter input: AC pure sign wave output:   Soooooo, I want an inverter based on an EG8010 OR the Nano version of this, driving a Stacked Toriod. 48 VDC input - 220 VAC out. Like the OzInverter, is the Nano version different? Apology for any confusion. Edited 2023-01-01 14:32 by KeepIS
