This project is titled the design and construction of a 3.5kva DC to AC inverter system. It is designed to meet up with the power demand in the offices and in homes in the absence of power supply from the national supply authority, PHCN. In order words the device / item serves as a substitute for PHCN which almost monopolises the power supply to people.It is designed in such a way that it will take up 12v DC from battery and inverts it to an output of 230v, 50Hz AC. It makes no noise during operation and no hazardous carbon monoxide is generated in the surrounding.   This is a feature that makes it safe to use any where when compared to generator. Also, the circuit is capable of charging the battery (i.e 12v source) when the power from the supply authority is on. This greatly reduces the cost of operation of the system. This work is aimed at designing a modified sine wave inverter of power rating of 3.5kva that can be used to power appliances both in homes and industries.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0                                        INTRODUCTION
1.1                          BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Electricity supply is one the economic infrastructural facilities that are indispensable to a nation’s economic development. The efficiency of the supply of electricity will not only influence returns on investment on existing enterprises, it also plays a major role in the creation of an economic environment which influences decisions on potential investment [2].
The electricity which is the main source of power for our domestic consumption, industrial development, learning centres and medical centre should really be rehabilitated into enhancement of productivity [2].
However power failure has resulted in people buying generators for their own daily activity. Other businesses are also not functioning due to absence of constant power supply. These are the reasons that necessitate the designing and construction of inverter and other standby system that can deliver maximum output power to the load. As society grows from simple to complex, mankind began to spread all over the earth and so it becomes necessary  to enjoy power using inverter [1].
Statistics have shown that the number of business that have been closed simply because of power problem and cannot be over emphasized, so mankind need inverter seriously in other to restore technology development, businesses, communications, learning centre and medical centres. However, the background of the study lies within the reason why and the construction of inverter should be forwarded and factor that enhance inverter marketability [1][2].
Finally, the success of this study will be beneficial to the society at large. Mass production of inverters will lead to improve standard of living of the populace and the nation will move forward in it pursuit of technological development [2].

1.2                                               PROBLEM STATEMENT
As a result of continuous power failure and fluctuation in power supply by Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), sensitive appliances and system are affected by interruption power supply. Then, this project is to provide a back-up and reliable power supply of 3500VA to power some selected home appliances such as computers, television set, lighting systems.

1.3                          AIM / OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The aim of this project is to design and construct a circuit that will take a 12v dc input from battery and provide a 220v ac and 3500w output that will be able to supply a electricity to a home. At the end of this work the student involved shall able:-

• To design a circuit that will convert dc to ac power for various appliances used in domestic home.
• To provide a noiseless source of electricity generation.
• To have a source of generating electricity that has no negative effect on the environment (i.e. no greenhouse effect).
• To provide a source of electricity power with low maintenance cost and zero fuel cost.

1.4                                           PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The purpose of this work is to provide a means of having a backup power supply by building an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).

1.5                                 PROJECT MOTIVATION
Inverters are the best when it comes to back-up since they can come up very fast and they generate little or no noise unlike generator. Even in an area with constant power supply, power outage due to natural cause and faults are usually unannounced. It is therefore very important to prevent causalities and loss of goodwill by having a reliable back-up power installed.

1.6                                       SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
In the recent years,  power  inverter has become a major power source due to its environmental and economic benefits and proven reliability.
Power inverter is produced by connecting the device on the 12VDC battery as the input to produce 220VAC as the required output. It can also be connected to solar panel [1].
Second, the whole energy conversion process is environmentally friendly. It produces no noise, harmful emissions or polluting gases. The burning of natural resources for energy can create smoke, cause acid rain and pollute water and air. Carbon dioxide, CO2, a leading greenhouse gas, is also produced in the case of burning fuels. Power inverter uses only the power of the battery as its fuel. It creates no harmful by-product and contributes actively to the reduction of global warming [1][2].

1.7                                              SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
A power inverter is a power conversion device. It converts fixed direct current (DC) voltage to frequency sinusoidal alternating current (AC) voltage output.
Power inverters are used to power and control the speed, torque, acceleration, deceleration, and direction of the motor. The use of inverter has become prevalent in wide range of industrial applications; from motion control applications to ventilation systems, waste water processing facilities to machining areas, and many others. Though power inverters offer lower operating costs and higher efficiency, they are not without their problems [3].
The waveform of this work is modified sine wave. The modified sine wave output of such an inverter is the sum of two square waves one of which is phase shifted 90 degrees relative to the other. The result is three level waveform with equal intervals of zero volts; peak positive volts; zero volts; peak negative volts and then zero volts. This sequence is repeated. The resultant wave very roughly resembles the shape of a sine wave [4].

1.8                                         LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

• Expensive when compared to traditional generators
• The inverter can power a few appliances for a short period
• The input is limited to 12VDC, output to 230VAC and the frequency to 50Hz

1.9                                       APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT
The applications and uses of a power inverter are as follows [5, 6]:

• DC power source utilization
• Uninterruptible power supplies
• Induction heating
• HVDC power transmission
• Variable-frequency drives
• Electric vehicle drives
• Air conditioning
• Electroshock weapons
