500W Inverter 12VDC to 220VAC

Attention: This Circuit is using high voltage that is lethal. Please take appropriate precautions

This circuit you can convert the 12VDC into 220VAC. The 4047 IC is use to generate the square wave of 50hz.

How to calculate transformer rating

The basic formula is P=VI and between input output of the transformer we have Power input = Power output.

For example if we want a 220W output at 220V then we need 1A at the output. Then at the input we must have at least 18.3A at 12V because: 12V*18.3A = 220V*1A, when P1 is 12V*18.3A and P2 is 220V*1A.
So if you have to wind the step up transformer 12V to 220v but input winding must be capable to bear 20A.

For this project to produce 220VAC with 500W, we find.

Output power is P2 = Output voltage x output current
        Output current = 500W/220V
                                = +- 2.272A

most importance is primary current
                           P1 = 12V x current
                      500W = 12V x current (I1)
                          I1        = 500W/12V
                                 = 41.67A

So your transformer to must be capatable to support primary current at lease 41.67A and don't forget for 2N3055 max current 15A . At lease 4 pcs for both side, total 8 pcs of 2N3055.

Build a Key Operated Gate Locking System Circuit

This simple key-operated gate locking system allows only those persons who know the preset code to open the gate. The code is to be entered from the keypad within the preset time to operate the motor fitted in the gate. If anyone trying to open the gate presses a wrong key in the keypad, the system is disabled and, at the same time, sounds an alarm to alert you of an unauthorized entry. Figs 1 and 2 show the block and circuit diagrams of the key-operated code locking system, respectively. Connect points A, B, C, D, E, F and ground of the circuit to the respective points of the keypad. Keys S7, S16, S14 and S3 are used here for code entry, and the remaining keys are used for disabling the system. It is very important to press the keys in that order to form the code. To start the motor of the gate, press switches S7, S16, S14 and S3 sequentially. If the keys are pressed in a different order from the preset order, the system will lock automatically and the motor will not start. Fig. 1: Bl...

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Apple releases TV spot for new iPods

Apple has just released a fun commercial to showcase its new line of iPod players and the various colours they come in. The TV spot titled ‘Bounce’, has a bunch of colourful iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffles er…bouncing to music. With all that colour and dancing and bouncing, you may forget that Apple’s latest gen line of iPods has some other awesome features. For instance, the fifth gen iPod touch comes with Siri, 4-inch retina display and an A5 chipset. Maybe the next ad will showcase some of these features with less bouncing.link
