EXPLANATION
The battery is charged through solar module and is

connected to the circuit. The terminals of the battery should be connected properly.If the reverse situation occurs,LED1 glows to indicate the wrong polarity. (Refer Figure ). If the switch S is closed, the LED3 glows to indicate power ON and 12 V d.c. reaches regulator IC 7805.The output of IC 7805 is fed to the oscillator-cum-divider. For indication of low battery level, a dual operational amplifier IC LM358 has been used. Fixed reference voltage of 5.1V is applied to the positive input, while sensing voltage is applied to its negative input.

CONTD.
f=100 Hz is produced at pin 3 i.e. at pin 5 of IC 7473

which produces 50 Hz square wave output at pins 8 and 9 of IC 7473. IC 7473 acts as a bistable multivibrator which only change the states when a trigger pulse is applied. If flips to one state when triggered and flops to other state when it is triggered . IC 7473 acts as a J-K flipflop.

A.DRIVER CIRCUIT
One of the outputs of IC 7473 is coupled to the base

of T1 through diode D1 via series limiting resistance. Another output at pin 9 is coupled to the base of T2 through diode D2 via other series limiting resistance. The transistors T1 and T2 are acting as a MOSFET drivers. When T1 conducts T2 is in cut off and vice versa.

B. POWER OUTPUT STAGE

The collector of transistor T1 is connected to the

MOSFETs(F1 THROUGH F3)which are connected in parallel on a heat sink. The collector of transistor T2 is connected to the MOSFETs(F4 THROUGH F6)which are connected in parallel on a heat sink. When T1 conducts corresponding MOSFETs (F1 through F3)remains cut off while voltage of collector of T2 is at 5V.Hence current flows through half of the inverter transformer primary. When T2 conducts corresponding MOSFETs (F4 through F6)remains cut off while voltage of collector of T1 is at 5V.Hence current flows through half of the inverter transformer primary.
