AN ASSESSMENT OF THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF 5KVA INVERTER

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: The unreliability of the nation's electrical power supply is a well-established truth in today's society. There is now a substantial disruption in the provision of electrical power over the whole planet. As a consequence of the disruption in the supply of electrical power, a great deal of electrical apparatus has either begun to have issues or has completely ceased functioning (Buckey, 2022). As a result, numerous businesses have been rendered inoperable, which has had a negative impact on the economies of several nations, including Nigeria. In addition, there has been a noticeable rise in the number of instances of power supply disturbances, which is another kind of power pollution. Because of this, high voltage spikes and brief voltage decreases are rather typical. The performance of sensitive equipment in private and corporate organizations could be negatively impacted by these power disturbances, which could result in the loss of data and even damage to the equipment (Corner, 2021).

It is not an exaggeration to say that the supply of electrical power in Nigeria is currently in an epileptic condition at the present time. This has become the norm, to the point that many people in Nigeria now consider periodic power outages to be "Normal" and an accepted aspect of their everyday lives. It has been determined that this issue is caused by a diverse collection of causes. These include the occurrence of natural catastrophes, acts of vandalism, issues with maintainability and sustainability, as well as a dearth of locally produced material (Edward , 2022). Without examining other factors, such as a lack of political will to invest adequately in the power sector, an absence of replacement policy that results in obsolete equipment, an unsustainable human capacity building, and an inadequate reward and remuneration system to motivate human resources team members to perform well, the issue of poor quality power supply cannot be properly addressed. This is because it is impossible to properly address the problem without first examining other factors.
