40W Inverter Circuit for Fluorescent Lamp. This circuit purpose is for emergency light. The working of the circuit is very simple, it is just like general inverter circuit, there is a simple wave generator by resistor/capacitor, a simple signal amplifier by power transistor and step up transformer to increase the AC voltage. Take a note that the heatsink is required for the transistor.
Parts List:
- R1 = 180 Ohm 1W
- R2 = 47 Ohm 1/4W
- R3 = 2.2 Ohm 1W Resistor (only needed once)
- C1, C2 = 100uF/16V
- C3 = 100nF
- Q1 = TIP 3055 or 2N3055 or equivalent

About Inverter
An inverter is an power electronic device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits. Solid-state inverters have no moving parts and are used in a wide range of applications, from small switching power supplies in computers, to large electric utility high-voltage direct current applications that transport bulk power. Inverters are usually used to supply AC power from DC sources such as solar panels or batteries. It will be useful for emergency electric source
