Re: [EVDL] 120VAC from my truck?

2022-08-11 Thread Jay Summet via EV 

Does your truck have a DC2DC converter and a larger 12v accessory battery?

Seems like you could easily find a 1500 watt 12v inverter to run off of 
your 12v accessory battery. Depending upon your duty cycle you may not 
even need to upgrade the DC2DC converter...

John, I have an Aerovironment SPC-2000 solar inverter that might work
for you. It accepts a 150-600vdc input, and outputs up to 1KW
single-phase or 2KW 3-phase at 115, 208, or 230vac, 30-69 Hz. Contact me
off-list if that might work for you.


While that sounds pretty close to what I need, the piece of eqiupment I want to 
run needs 1300W at 120VAC.
I'm going to do an experiment with a big 12V power supply and a standard 
12v-120v inverter first.

I know Ben Nelson has used a solar inverter wired up to an iMev's 
battery pack via the DC fast charging port to power his garage.

How about a motor / alternator setup? 2K is not that much to built one for.

These go straight from 300-400Vdc In to either 120/240Vac Out. But are CAN
