Design and Construction
The module uses a compact PCB-based high-frequency inverter design for converting low-voltage DC power into high-voltage AC. Its small size makes it suitable for integration into DIY electronic enclosures and battery-powered systems.
The board provides multiple output terminals that can be used to obtain different voltage levels. This multi-tap arrangement allows the user to select a lower output voltage for suitable low-power electronic loads or a higher output voltage when required by the application.
For applications involving continuous or heavier loads, additional cooling such as a suitable heat sink is recommended. Adequate ventilation and appropriately rated wiring are also important for reliable operation.
Working Principle
The module takes 12V DC from a suitable power source and uses high-frequency switching circuitry to convert the DC input into a high-frequency alternating waveform. The onboard transformer then boosts the voltage to the required high-voltage AC level.
The output is a high-frequency square wave, rather than a utility-style pure sine wave. The available output voltage depends on which output terminals are selected.
The module is therefore best suited as an inverter boost stage for electronic projects rather than as a universal replacement for mains electricity.
Output Voltage Wiring
The available output voltage combinations are specified as follows:
| Output Terminals | Approximate Voltage |
|---|---|
| V0 – V2 | 110V |
| V0 – V3 | 175V |
| V0 – V4 | 200V |
| V0 – V5 | 220V |
| V5 – V4 | 20V |
| V5 – V3 | 45V |
| V5 – V2 | 110V |
| V4 – V3 | 28V |
| V4 – V2 | 90V |
| V3 – V2 | 62V |
Important: Output voltage values are approximate and can vary depending on input voltage, load, wiring, and operating conditions.

Load Compatibility
Because the module produces a high-frequency square-wave AC output, it is not suitable for all types of AC appliances.
It should generally not be used directly with inductive loads such as:
- Motors
- Fans
- Coils
- Transformers not designed for the waveform/frequency
- Other loads requiring a sine-wave AC supply
For small electronic loads such as LED lights, mobile-phone chargers, or set-top boxes, selecting a suitable lower output voltage is recommended where appropriate.
Always verify the input requirements and waveform compatibility of the connected load before use.
Important Operating Guidelines
- Use only a suitable 12V DC power supply.
- Check the polarity carefully before connecting power.
- Do not reverse the power supply polarity.
- Use a power supply and wiring capable of supplying the required input current.
- Do not overload the module.
- Do not short-circuit the output.
- Provide adequate cooling for extended operation.
- An additional heat sink is recommended for heavier loads, particularly around 100W or more.
- Keep the module away from moisture and conductive materials.
- Do not touch the high-voltage output while powered.
- Disconnect the input power before changing output connections.
Output Measurement Note
Because the output is a high-frequency square-wave AC signal, measuring the no-load output voltage with a standard multimeter may produce an unusually high or inaccurate reading. The displayed value may not represent the actual effective output voltage.
Use an appropriate measurement instrument designed for the waveform and frequency when accurate measurements are required.
Special Application Note
Some switching power supplies use conventional rectifier components at their input. Connecting such equipment directly to a high-frequency AC output may cause excessive heating or damage to the rectifier section.
For electronic applications requiring DC input, an appropriate high-frequency-rated rectification and filtering stage may be required rather than directly connecting the equipment to the module’s AC output.
The suitability of any external rectifier, diode, capacitor, or filter must be determined according to the required voltage, current, frequency, and load characteristics.
