The thing (at least here, and probably on all lists with qualified people) is that the responses are as good as the information you give, on average. You apparently didn't describe your complete scenario: that you are thinking about running a whole host of devices, from a general household fridge to a wireless AP, from your inverter. You might have gotten different answers if you had taken the time to explain your problem better. Your first message was really too short on information: > I need to convert12VDC source to 220VAC. > > I am not sure which path to follow. This is not enough :) But even after much of the info came over, Herbert's opinion is probably shared by most: a 1 kW inverter is not really that easy to design. So you probably should start researching inverters. You probably find circuits for lower power devices that help you understand how they work. You also can find application notes from various semiconductor manufacturers, maybe even some that address inverters in your power range. Then you can start designing your own. If you have any problems on this path, ask questions -- clear questions about concrete problems. Usually there are people who know the answer or can point you to a possible one and are willing to help. But something like the OP of this thread is not enough for receiving good answers. You ask generic questions, you get generic answers (like "buy an inverter"). You ask specific questions, you get specific answers (like "use part X for that purpose" -- but the purpose needs to be specified a bit better than "an inverter").
