    Lab # 8 (FINAL PROJECT)
    Inverters
    Objectives:
    To study the fundamentals of basic inverter
    To become familiar with the construction of a 12 V DC to 120 VAC inverter
    To implement the building and testing of such inverter.
    Introduction
    In this laboratory we will build on concepts that we examined in the previous laboratory
    Inverters convert power from a DC source to AC output. The input can be from a 12 volt, 24
    volt, or 48 volt battery bank and output can be 110-120 VAC, or 220-240 VAC. There are
    modified sine and pure sine (true sine) versions in various wattages. A modified sine unit
    approximates the smooth wave form of household AC (alternating current) with a stepped form.
    This works for a lot of applications, though lower efficiency or higher heat generation may
    result. Modified sine inverters are widely available, and considerably less expensive than pure
    sine units of the same wattage. Pure sine units produce a precise output wave, which can
    even be more ideal than utility grid power, since grid power can fluctuate in frequency and
    voltage, sometimes considerably. Pure sine units operate equipment more efficiently, motors
    run cooler, etc. Electronic applications, computers, and particularly video applications are
    prime applications for pure sine inverters.
    Sizing the Inverter
    Inverters are rated by running wattage, and surge wattage. Surge wattage is rated
    for a given time period (in seconds), and the inverter will shut down, if this is
    exceeded. A realistic assessment must be made of the total running wattage, as
    well as surge wattage of those devices which may affect the total. Motors, for
    example, can have an amp surge up to 3 or 4 times their rated running load upon
    startup. See the chart that follows. Most devices have an amp draw or wattage on
    the name plate or in the owner's manual. The inefficiency of inverters (about 10 to
    20%) must also be considered, both in the sizing of the inverter, and the battery
    bank.

    noted within the experiment outside of the questions asked. Make comments on the procedure of the lab
    - Is there anything that you could have done differently? How did you split the work between group
    members? Did you have a plan of action? What else would you suggest that should be added to this lab
    session? What are inverters useful for (in your opinion)?
    (b) Comments: Please write any comments that you may have here. Did you enjoy the lab?
    State one thing you would change? State one thing that you liked? Were there any problems
    during the laboratory session?
