I would like to build a mostly sinusoidal power inverter for my home =
forced air heating system now PIC controlled. The application is similar =
to a UPS where the load is an 115VAC motor and a few other small 115VAC =
loads. Available DC source will be 1 or more 12 volts batteries similar =
to a car or marine high duty for now. A PIC is involved for LCD, keypad, =
Mains AC monitor, alarm, RS232 and other application but not directly =
for the inverter yet. At this point, I have developed a sinusoidal 24VAC =
p-p 60Hz with zero DC offset from a matched pair of transistors =
(push/pull) and an ICL IC. Things OK up to here! Now I need to increase =
this to 115VAC at about 5 amps or more for a while. I was looking at a =
Powerex transistor http://www.pwrx.com/pwrx/docs/kd224503.pdf   Should I =
use a 24:115 transformer and amplify from there? I have difficulty with =
the power stage, snubber and such. I have large thyristors available if =
required. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks {slewrate}
