The Inverter/Chargers

    The green arrows illustrate the flow of electricity into the inverters.

    The inverters can do a couple of tasks.

    • Using battery voltage they can supply 120 volts (or 220) to the house.

    • Conversely, when the generator supplies AC current to the inverters, they become dual 100 amp battery chargers and the DC current from them is sent to the batteries!

    • These inverters are total overkill for the house.

    • My only complaint is that their modified sinewave does make static over the telephone. A Radioshack line filter reduces this but not 100 percent.
