Oops. Looks like I didn't read the PWM bit. I thought you were suggesting to use the transformer to amplify the 50Hz oscillator signal to get the output. My bad, sorry about that. But commercial inverters still seem to have an intermediate DC stage, why do they go that route instead of driving the transformer directly?is the heart of most lower-cost switching power supplies.
I thought you knew what PWM stands for, and how it applies to the context of this thread. My error.
With a pulse-width modulated squarewave signal driving the transformer primary (through saturated switching power transistors), the transformer never "sees" the 50 Hz component of the modulated waveform.

I don't know enough electrical engineering to know for sure, but could it be that the 50Hz component still influences the transformer?
