The circute i post is just a simple DC-AC inverter circute diagram,protections are not included in the diagram.The circute contain only oscilator which is SG3524 it only generate 50Hz clock pulse which is out of phase with the other,pin 14 and 11 the signal passes through a biasing resistor R2 and R4.R3 and R5 serve as pull down resistor.the mosfet drive your 12v 50Hz signal into your step up transformer in which the voltage step up to 240v ac,TR2 is a step down transformer which produce maximum of 9-12v which is used to control the required output voltage through VR2.
