Tiny Grid Tie Inverter Unit, Maybe. - Page 2 - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Well this design is set up specifically so that if the line voltage is not there it cannot run.
If you wanted to make a regular inverter and not at grid tie the circuit is considerably different.
Look around on this forum for things like push pull oscillator. I have posted some schematic for very basic ones in several threads.

I am new to Electro-Tech. Just got my NABCEP badge. How do you do your connection? There are specs on how long the grid goes down until you must anti-island. Xantrex used to make a block (for $450) that did this. I have 24/7access to dip solder pot about 8x10", washing machine, and lead cutting machine. Use mild acid solution flux. Orcad or Protel layouts. Could check or help layouts and if sent kits do the boards.

Looks like it's been awhile since anyone posted on this. Any improvements/progress since the last post?

Summer time for me. No time to play.

I work longer hours in the summer so I dont have to when its winter.

I did make a better working version of it a while back though. I just haven't got around to doing a proper schematic for it. I will need to take it apart now to remember what went where and to get the right components values.

And it does fit inside a standard computer power supply case too!
