How to Build a 12vDC to 220vAC Power Inverter
(UPS) uninterruptible power supply

Introduction:
Power inverter is a device which converts 12 volts to 150 volts of D.C into 220 volt to 110
volt. Power inverter is commonly known as UPS. UPS stands for uninterruptible power
supply which is the modified form of inverter. Due to the lack of electricity the importance
of inverter increases day by day. The substitute of load shedding is generator or UPS.

Few advantages and disadvantages of generator are as follows.

Its first advantage is, it can run many electronic devices and it can supply electricity for the
long duration of load shedding. The disadvantages are noise pollution, usage of fossil fuel
cost it too high. The alternate of generator is UPS, it has also some advantages and
disadvantages.

The supply of electricity goes uninterrupted, it do not require much effort. Its backup
depends on battery, as many amperes of the battery it has, that much it backup it would
provide.

Its disadvantages are, recharging takes a lot of time and in the long duration of load
shedding battery cannot b recharged so that it stops working. By putting excessive load
the duration of backup reduces. Its performance is about 60% to 90%.
