Hi Jay, I had to deal with this once on a Trace SW system. The cheapest option turned out to be to just adding another inverter, not synchronized, on the third leg of the generator. All loads were 120/240, so no need for 208. Commercial battery chargers were way expensive. The non synchron

If the client does not need three phase but has a three phase generator, you can rewire the alternator to single phase, or have it done by a generator tech. On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 10:35 PM, jay peltz wrote: > Hi Guys, > > Yes that could work, but then you wouldn't have genny backup, which isn'

Hi Guys, Yes that could work, but then you wouldn't have genny backup, which isn't a good idea IMHO. I'm still researching if the client really needs 3 phase or not. thanks all, jay On Jul 23, 2014, at 4:21 PM, Chris Mason wrote: > Are the loads three phase or just the generator? > > >

Outback for sure but I have not seen the sw line work on 3 ph nore the SI's I will say OB work well. You may also want to consider a 3 ph battery charger and a regular l120/240 battery system just a thought On Jul 23, 2014 11:06 AM, "Jay Peltz" wrote: > Hi all > > > I have a client who > Might ne

> Hi all I have a client who Might need 3 phase battery based inverters for 208/120 US 60 hz. I believe the choices are: SI, XW( with reprogramming) and outback FX line. This is not for motors, but running off of a 3 phase generator. Anything I've missed? Jay Peltz power PS thanks for all
