1.0 Introduction
The design and construction of a 650VA inverter one of the numerous breakthroughs in modern technology. As a result of the incessant power outage we experience in the nation, it's is enough to inform us that every office should have a back up power source to prevent loss of data in times of power outage form the national grid.
The project design is to ensure that there is uninterrupted power supply to our computer system in case of power outage.
1.1 Inverter
The UPS constitutes the following section or units, the astable multi-vibrator(oscillator) which gives 5OHZ/6OHZ output, the driver/amplifier stage, the mosfet switch, the booster or step up transformer, the automatic change over, the charger.

1.2 Aim And Objectives of Study
The aim of the study is to design and construct 650wts Power Inverter. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows:
- To ensure there is uninterruptible power supply to the computer system.
- To prevent loss of data in case of power outage.
1.3 Significance Of The Study
The following facts are the significance of the study which are stated below:
- It will prevent huge economic loss caused by data loss.
- It will prevent waste of useful man hour needed for recreation of lost data.
1.4 Scope And Limitation of the Study
The scope of this project is to show the method of design, the materials used to make a 650 watts inverter.
The limitation encountered in this project was the unavailability of some components used for the design.
1.5 Definition Of Terms
Power Unit:
The power unit consists of a l2VoJts D.C battery suitable for driving the inverter circuit. The battery source is recharged when it gets discharged because of prolonged use.
Astable Mult-Vibrator:
The astable multivibrator is made up two similar transistors, each providing its own feedback to the other. This is where the pulse needed to drive the mosfet is generated.
Driver / Amplifier:
The driver unit is used to amplify the signal or pulse from the astable multi-vibrator for it to be able to trigger the MOSFET.
The Mosfet Switch:
The mosfet is used to pass negative supply of the battery to the booster transformer
Step-Up Transformer:
The setup transformer is used to step up the 12v supply to the desired voltage.
