Re: (ET) Electric Chainsaw and rotary inverter
Ok, a bit more on-topic question: I have a rotary inverter for my
Elec-trak, and want to use a chainsaw with it. Back when the breaker was
working; it would pop pretty quickly with my 16 inch Sears saw, popped
more slowly with the Sears 14 inch one.
Yesterday I went out to cut up some wood, and the breaker on the rotary
was not resetting at all (this is straight out of the shed). I bypassed
it, used the chainsaw, and aside from it slowing down under load
appeared fine.
What kind of breaker should I put on this thing and do I need to have
one really? The 36 volt side is protected by the Elec-trak's 45amp
accessory breaker; if it overloaded the Trac should shut it down.
Or is the rotary inverter just not up to powering a chainsaw?
