The post discuses how to modify an ordinary square wave inverter using IC 4047 into a modified sine wave inverter through PWM technology. The idea was requested by Mr. Philip
The Request
Good day Mr Swagatam, how are you sir? Hope all is well with you and your family.
I am a Nigerian living in Nigeria and I have been an avid follower of your blog and your electronic designs especially your inverter designs. I hope that i am not going to be a bother, but I need some advice with a PWM-controlled modified sine wave inverter I am designing so I want to seek your expert opinion. This design is tentative, I haven't implemented it yet but I would like you to take a look at it and tell me what you think. Also I want you to help answer some questions which I have not been able to find answers to.
I have taken the liberty of attaching an image of a quasi-block diagram of my tentative design for your consideration. Please help me out.
In the diagram, the IC CD4047 is responsible for generating square wave pulses at 50Hz which will be used to alternately switch on MOSFETS Q1 and Q2. The PWM circuit will be based on IC NE555 and its output will be applied to the gate of Q3 so that Q3 will provide the PWM.
Besides this, I have two questions. First, can I use square waves for the PWM pulses? Second, what is the relationship between PWM frequency and supply frequency? What PWM frequency should I use for a 50Hz inverter output?
I hope that this design is feasible, I think it is feasible, but I want your expert opinion before I commit scarce resources to implement the design.
Looking forward to hearing from you sir!
Sincerely, Philip
Hello Philip,
The configuration shown in the second figure would work but the addition of one more mosfet would unnecessarily increase cost and heat dissipation making the circuit sightly inefficient.
The PWM section should be built as explained in this article:
http://homemadecircuitsandschematics.blogspot.in/2012/09/make-400-watt-mosfet-sine-wave-inverter.html
The PWM transforms the flat square waves into a modified square wave by chopping them into smaller calculated sections such that the overall RMS of the waveform becomes as close as possible to an actual sine counterpart, yet maintaining the peak level equal to the actual square wave input. The concept may be learned in details here:
http://homemadecircuitsandschematics.blogspot.in/2013/04/how-to-modify-square-wave-inverter-into.html
However the above transformation does not help to eliminate the harmonics.
The PWM frequency will be always in the form of chopped square waves.
The PWM frequency is immaterial and may be of any high value, preferably in kHz.
Regards,
Swags.
