INTRODUCTION
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Faced with the problem of abysmal power supply from supply authorities, noise pollution, air
pollution, cost of the popular alternative: generator sets, there is a need for a less noisy, pollution
free and cheap solution to power problems in the houses of individuals and families in Nigeria.
AIM
The aim of this project is to design and construct a 2kVA power inverter with an inbuilt charging
system that will be charged when there is supply from mains and supply the inverter when there
is no supply from the mains.
OBJECTIVES
1. To design and construct an inverter that will be able to power essential loads in a house.
2. To design and construct an automatic switching circuit for changing power between the
battery and the mains power supply.
3. To design and construct an electromechanical switch for altering power supply and
cutting battery supply when it is low.
4. To design and construct an alarm circuit that beeps when the load on the iverter is beyond
the inverter capacity.
o SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this study is based on the design and construction of a 2kVA power inverter and its
process of operation.
1.5
With the obvious advantages of the inverter being a cheaper (in the long term) and cleaner source
of energy, it is a device that can power essential loads in the absence of supply from power
supply utilities in the country.
