Hey folks: I’m trying to assist a friend with a defunct hydro system in Ecuador; actually, the hydro system is the only thing working. It’s (I assume unrectified) output is 230VAC 50 htz and about ~500W, and they want to step it down for charging a 12V battery bank. I’ve tried to get them to look at other voltages but a lot of their loads are 12V, and this IS a very primitive system. It’s in a rainforest so there is no solar resource to speak of. They will be running some 120VAC 60 htz loads (like computers and phone chargers) but they already have a bunch of DC led lights in place. It gets dark there at 6 pm every night and the forest is so dense, solar is not an option. Do you know of anyone that offers or can manufacture such a converter? This is for a school and clinic that gets displaced from weather, equipment failures and mercenaries. Feel free to contact me off list. Best, Chris Daum Oasis Montana Inc. 406-777-4309 or 4321 406-777-4309 fax www.oasismontana.com <http://www.oasismontana.com/>
