ac inverter welding reference design
I can tell you that making a DC to AC inverter is easy. briefly challenging if you want to goto 5A or higher. the difficult part is if you want to synchronize the AC to the north american power grid.
inow you need feedback to control these 3 things:
i) voltage magnitude (generally, this is constant)
ii) frequency (if you use the line frequency via a transformer within your modulation technique you won't have to worry about this item either)
iii) phase angle. this can be tricky.
some good examples of high power inverters (10kW+) with schematic and description can be fore here:
