This is the Basic 200 W power inverter Circuit Diagram.This circuit was reverse engineered from a Tripp-Lite "Power-Verter" Model PV200 DC to AC Inverter - typical of those used for camping or boating applications where the only source of power is an auto or marine battery. This particular model is rated 200 W continuous. The output is a 60 Hz squarewave and there is no regulation or precise frequency control. (Unlike the other circuits in this collection, it is NOT a high frequency inverter.)

Modifications for higher or lower output voltage are easily achieved. For example, a fast cycle strobe requiring 330 VDC, would only require using three times the number of turns on the Output winding and the addition of a bridge rectifier to charge the energy storage capacitor(s). Alternatively, the inverter could be used as-is with the addition of a voltage tripler. A tripler rather than doubler is needed because of the squarewave output. (The RMS and peak voltages are the same so you don't get the boost of 1.414 as you do with the sinusoidal waveform from the power company.)
