The 150W Micro Inverter Module is a compact, high-frequency DC-to-AC power converter designed for DIY electronics, portable power applications, and battery-powered projects. It converts DC 12V input into AC 110V/220V output, making it suitable for powering small electronic devices, lighting, and chargers from a 12V battery source.

At the heart of the module is a high-frequency square wave inverter circuit that steps up the 12V DC input to approximately 220V AC. The module features multiple output voltage taps (V0–V5) that allow you to select different AC voltage levels — typically 110V, 172V, 200V, and 220V — by connecting to different terminal pairs . This flexibility makes the module adaptable to a range of low-power devices.

The module is designed for electronic DIY work and serves as a pre-stage inverter board for projects requiring AC power from a battery . It is widely used in night camping, night market vendor stalls, emergency power for family trips, and as a companion product for manufacturer control cabinets . The compact PCB design and included transformer make it easy to integrate into custom enclosures and portable power stations.

Important Technical Note: This module produces a high-frequency square wave AC output (approximately 20kHz), not a pure sine wave . This means it is not suitable for inductive loads such as electric motors, fans, or coil transformers. For devices like LED lights, phone chargers, and DVD players, it is recommended to connect to the lower voltage taps (110V or 172V) and use a fast recovery diode in series on the output to protect sensitive electronics .

The module has no built-in protection circuits for overload or short-circuit, so careful operation is required . For sustained operation above 100W, additional heat dissipation is recommended . The input power source and wiring must be capable of handling the required current.

Whether you are a maker building a portable power station, a student learning about inverter circuits, or a business purchasing in bulk for product development, the 150W Micro Inverter Module provides a practical, cost-effective foundation for DC-to-AC conversion projects.

Usage

Getting Started

  1. Connect DC input — Connect a 12V DC power source (battery or regulated supply) to the input terminals. Observe correct polarity — reverse connection will damage the module . Ensure the power source and wiring can handle the required current.

  2. Select output voltage — Connect your load to the appropriate terminal pair for the desired AC voltage:

    • V0–V2 = 110V

    • V0–V3 = 172V

    • V0–V4 = 200V

    • V0–V5 = 220V

  3. For small electronic loads — When connecting LED lights, phone chargers, or other sensitive electronics, use the lower voltage taps (110V or 172V) and add a fast recovery diode in series on the output to protect the device .

  4. Power on and test — Apply DC input power. The module will begin converting power. Note: Many common multimeters will not accurately measure the high-frequency square wave output — readings may be higher or lower than actual voltage .

  5. Monitor temperature — For operation above 100W or extended runtime, add a heat sink or cooling fan to prevent overheating .

Important Safety Notes

  • No built-in protection — Do not overload or short-circuit the output. The module has no protection circuits .

  • Not for inductive loads — Do not connect electric motors, fans, or coil transformers .

  • Input current requirements — The power supply and wiring must be capable of handling large currents.

  • Heat management — For sustained high-power operation, enhanced cooling is essential.
