Re: (ET) inverter

[et jpjt net]

Search the archives for "Rediline".  I tried to get a summary of this 
question last year sometime.

Rediline is the rotary inverter.  Yeah Mike, it seems inefficient but I 
guess it's a pretty
clean sinewave.  I think you could get Rediline to make one for you new 
for under $500, and if
you're lucky you could find a used one for 2 or $300.

Then there's the Tripp Lite "APS3636VR 3-function DC-to-AC inverter with 
auto line-to-battery
transfer and integrated charging system"
http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=173 
for MSRP $1272. I've seen em for under $900 but that's still out of my 
range right now.  But I
think that's the one I'd buy

"OutBack Power makes a mobile version of their FX inverters with a 32 /36 
VDC input. There is a sealed unit rated for 2500 VA that includes 35-amp 
battery charger function and a vented version that is rated for 3200 VA 
and 45-amps
of battery charging. These are really good units. They are worth checking 
out."

Then I think you could probably get Rich Rudman at Manzanita Micro to make 
what you want, but
it would cost you...
