ABSTRACT
Mobility and versatility have become a must for the fast-paced society today. People can no longer afford to be tied down to a fixed power source location when using their equipment's. Overcoming the obstacle of fixed power has led to the invention of DC/AC power inverters. Aside from the differences in power wattage, cost per wattage, efficiency and harmonic content, power inverters can be categorized into three groups: square wave, modified sine wave, and pure sine wave. This study led to the design and implementation of a sine wave inverter which will serve as an alternative source of power. A cost analysis of the different types of inverter shows that sine wave power inverter, though has the best power qrnility performance, and also has a big spike in cost per unit power. The erratic power supply in some Third world countries like Nigeria has proven to be a problem, making it a bit difficult for the effective use of Laptops, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Phones and other handheld devices. An in-car interface that will be capable of providing alternating current (A.C) power supply will help alleviate the problem by providing a relatively portable alternating current supply. The researcher implemented a low power sine-wave inverter that is capable of providing AC supply from a DC source.
