DC Inverter/Converter 12V DC to 220V DC

This is an inverter/converter, it convert 12V of the battery into 110/220V DC (Not AC).

The output voltage is adjustable from 0 to 300V DC. 

It has a feedback loop to maintain the output voltage constant regardless of input voltage / load change.

It also has under voltage protection to shut down the inverter when the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. 

Efficiency was 78.95% for me but you can try different transformers with different frequencies for higher efficiency. 

Maximum output power could be 200 watt to 500 watt depends on the size of the transformer, but since the output is DC you can connect many inverters in parallel to increase the power !

This inverter can not be used with induction motor or any load that need AC voltage only (such as old power supplies with 50/60Hz transformer), 

The load could be LED light bulb, Incandescent light bulb, TV, Laptop charger, Phone charger, Universal motor, Blender, printer, Inverter Ceiling fan (BLDC Fan), Drill ... etc.
