A highly efficient bridge inverter with doubled output voltage

Abstract

A common problem in equipping cars, buses, and other vehicles is the incompatibility of household appliances (coffee makers, converters, radio-receiving sets, audio amplifiers, etc.) that are powered by a constant current with a nominal voltage of 12 or 24 V, which differs from the vehicle's onboard voltage. This problem can be solved by using inverters that provide a twofold decrease or a twofold increase in the output voltage with minimal losses [1]. In this paper, a circuit of this highly efficient inverter is proposed.
