Inverter 220Vcc to 220Vac

[SZASZ]

Hi,

did everyone knows a schematic or a how to project an inverter that convert 220Vcc to 220Vac aprox 2500VA.

Tnx.

what did you mean by 220Vcc? (Vcc is only used as a source indicator on schematics)
& if you meant a converter for 220Vdc to 220Vac, why would you need that as it does not sound practical?
"Mains" conversions are generally achieved by means of using lower DC potential such as a car battery with limited results.

In some languages, in particular french, DC is written as CC (courant continu).

Many years ago, when DC mains supply was common in cities, there was a demand for such DC/AC converters. Those units were usually of relatively small power, some tens of watts. They were usually based on a electromechanical chopper but there were a few designs using vacuum tubes too.

A such converter is described in the an issue from around 1960 of the swedish "Radio & Television" magazine.

Here is a modern article dealing with this kind of inverters. http://www.en-genius.net/includes/files/grnpowt_120307.pdf

Yes torbjorn in my country Vcc means VDc, sorry cause I have forgout to write.
My collegue has an huge battery pack ( size of a room).
Batteries with chemycal reactions based with KOH or NaOH.
The electrolytic cellss are placed on a box that made of glass.
This batteries provide 220Vdc +,- 30V.
This power is trough an equipment (stabilizator, regulator) that provides 220Vdc +,- 5V.
I would like to help him to power two servers and one normal PC.
Sow is a poor inductive load.
The battery pack cannot be splited.

Sorry cause my englis is not so good.
Tnx for the link, I would try to project.
If will work maybe some protection (overload short) must to be aded.

A normal computer power supply (switch mode power supply, SMPS) will work very well on DC.

But you should not try to power equipment with a conventional mains transformer (say, wall plug adapters etc) on DC. Those will not work and probably the transformer's primary winding will burn out within seconds.

Don't try supplying CRT monitors with DC. Although the monitor's main power supply will usually run well on DC, the degaussing coils will not do. So, if you have to supply a monitor with DC, you should first disconnect the degaussing circuitry (on simpler designs, it is just a 3-pin PTC resistor that has to be desoldered, on more expensive monitors there can be a more complicated circuitry with relays, timers etc, there it is best to refer to the service manual for the monitor).

Also, you should not try to supply laser printers with DC.

Did you have tested a switch power suplly with Dc?
I would test monday a Atx power suplly.
If it will work the question is : IT will work 24 of 24 hours?

TNX.

Yes, normally it will work very well.
