A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a device or circuitry that changes (DC) to (AC). The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC. Inverter signal outputs that aim to replicate mains power are commonly 50 or 60 Hz at 120 or 240 VAC to match standard power line frequencies and voltage. In cases where the output needs to be further processed or stepped up, the output frequency may be much higher for transformer efficiencies.
[pdf] Here is a simple low power inverter that converts 12V DC into 230-250V AC (DC to AC Converter). It can be used to power very light loads like window chargers and night lamps or simply give a shock to keep the intruders away. The circuit is built around just two ICs, namely, IC CD4047 and IC ULN2004.
