Re: (ET) Re: rotary inverter



Hm. How waterproof is the thing? Can you leave it outside on the tractor, or does it need to be loved. Can it be mounted somewhere on the tractor pernamently; I'd hate to have to drag it around for string trimming.

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.
