Abstract
An inverter is an electronic device use to convert direct current (DC) to an alternating current (AC). The alternating current can be set at a required voltage and frequency, which depends totally on the transformer, control circuit (chipset) and switching use during the time of production. An inverter is essentially a household device that convert power stored in a battery, windmill, solar panel to power every household appliance within it load capacity. That is to say, it supplies AC power from a DC source. Solid state inverter does not have any moving part like motor and areused in wide range of applications, from small switching power supplies in computers to heavy electric utility high voltage DC applications that transport large amount of power. Also, an inverter performs the opposite function of a rectifier. When designing an inverter, there is one thing you want to be cautious of, which is; what appliances am I using with the inverter. After Designing, the circuit was divided into four stages which are the; Drivers stage, Buffering stage, Oscillation and the Output stage. All these stages put together make up a whole inverter
