(ET) Re: rotary inverter



A rotary inverter (in this case) is a 36VDC motor which is run by the tractor. The motor is directly coupled to a 110VAC generator.

You get perfect sinusoidal power, vs. the psuedo-simulated(modified sine wave) power from a solid-state inverter. Simple, relatively easy to repair if you are living with a soldering iron and a roll of magnet wire, and civilization is gone.
Disadvantage: brushes, bearings, armatures wear out.
