How to convert 12V DC to 120/230v AC?

I could convert 12 V DC to 120/230 V AC using a cheap commercial inverter then transform down again to 12 V AC (or possibly replace the inverter’s output transformer). And this may be the easiest and most cost-effective solution - but it's not ideal. I have an electronics background and designed stuff many years ago.

What is a 12V to 120V inverter?

A 12V to 120V inverter can convert DC power (12V) into AC power (120V), making it compatible with household appliances. These inverters are widely used in off-grid solar systems, RVs, and home backup power solutions, ensuring a stable power supply when the main grid is unavailable.

Do I need a DC to AC power inverter?

For this, you need a DC-to-AC power inverter that takes the DC voltage a battery provides and inverts it to AC voltage so that you can run an AC-powered device. Read on to learn how to convert AC to DC with our voltage-to-amperage calculator. The first step to sizing a battery pack when using a DC to AC power inverter is to know your DC amp rating.

What are the disadvantages of a 12 volt inverter?

The disadvantage is that the 12 V inverter will draw 5 times the current a 60 V inverter draws for the same output power. This current needs to be supplied by the step-down converter. This will also incur additional losses in the step-down converter. I'd swap the 12 V inverter for a 60 V inverter. I had a hunch. I'll make the swap.
