CHAPTER ONE 

1.0            INTRODUCTION

A DC-AC Inverter is basically a device which converts direct to a sinusoidal current. There are different ways of doing this conversion to achieve better performance and reliable system.. This system is designed to generate 50Hz sinusoidal and 220volts alternating current and a total power of 200watts to provide power to sensitive equipment like computer, communication equipment, and/or to provide emergency light and power to some essential household appliances when there is power failure in the house. The desire to embark on the project was born out of the knowledge of the problem and discomfort that Nigerians faced when there is power failure in their homes or offices. 

          Even with generating sets, the user load will not pick-up power instantly when the failure occurs and where sensitive equipments like biomedical equipment and telecommunication equipment, where a momentary loss of power could result in equipment breakdown or data loss which could cause more labour to recreate (in the case of computer) or death in hospitals where such equipment were on power supply.
