In recent years, Nigeria’s power generation output from all the available energy sources such as coal, natural gas, and water, is far from the expected number required to meet the energy demand of her teeming populace. This culminates in long hours of power outages frequently experienced in many parts of the country. However, there appears to be no end in sight to the problem. Alternatively, few citizens who can afford generator have wittingly resulted to the use of this device to supply power. Generator set has unavoidable disadvantages of high maintenance or running cost, noise pollution, and release of dangerous gases that pose danger to human lives. Evidently, that solution is risky and inadequate. Power inverter is an alternative and better means of generating electricity with little or no maintenance cost, environment or eco- friendly and poses no risk to human health. It is in that connection that we develop in this work 2KVA sine wave inversion system which produces sinusoidal A.C. signal required in homes for lightning and powering electronic gadgets like television, radio, refrigerator, Air conditioner etc. It is an improvement over square wave and modified sine wave inversion systems that generate digital approximations of A.C. signal. An interesting but new addition is the use of LCD display, interfaced with PIC16F688 microcontroller for showing the design specifications of the inverter.
