I recently purchased an inverter kit that advertised:
"This modified square wave inverter can be used to convert 12 or 24V DC to 240V AC, 120V AC or any other voltage."
I have constructed only a few projects (555 timer checker, PWM, & battery charger) and am very new (but very interested) to electronics. I can follow instructions pretty well, but when I received this kit, the instructions are for building this inverter to handle 240v mains not 120v. I specifically got this kit as a simple beginning but am completely in the dark as to adjust it to my needs.
Recently, I was able to buy 4 Interstate 190aH batteries cheap. They are holding a charge and I wish to use them to power my lab or shop. I have found a descent PM motor for use as a generator and eventually I will build my own windmill and alternator. My wife and I are currently seeking to move to Kentucky and find a place out in the sticks where we can live off the grid so I will need to wait to do that. I have a fairly adequate shop so there is much I can make once we get there. Sorry to get off track.
It would be very much appreciated if I could get some help constructing this kit inverter for 24v operation at 110v mains. I would also like to use better MOSFETs as the ones in the kit are substandard to what is printed on the PCB.
This is my first post so I hope the attached information turns out. Thanks for your help and advice in advance.
