INVERTER TRNSFORMER

Hi Guys,

I have been able to design a 6kva inverter with a transformer with E and I iron core former, but the I is welded to the E and the primary which has the low voltage is connected to the inverter mosfets (IRFP150) when i applied 24vdc to inverter it produces 175vac and i hope to increase it input by 12vdc inorder for me to get 240vac aout put but i found out that the inverter is drawing 2amp current from the batteries without load what should be the remedy to reduce the no load current to 500ma or less for I propose to use an inductor in series withthe transformer will this resolve he issues of drawing high current without load from battery bank.any guru out there to help me.
