Doug, i really should send you the information on the electrical equipment that came with my 5/1. Maybe you could help me?
Not too many people I have spoken with can tell me anything about my syncronous converter.
The Exploration company that was using my 5/1 had it coupled to a 17 amp 120 volt, 2500 Watt DC Generator. This was some how? wired to a 2000 watt DC to AC syncronous converter, through a mannually adjusted rehostat.
I assume they may have needed both DC and AC power, perhaps the exploration equipment of the day was DC, and the lights were AC, i dont know... Why did they need the DC power, instead of converting DC to AC??
I was going to use the 5/1 and the DC genni to power a 5kw Xantrex inverter, and net meter the excess power to the grid. I would really like to figure out how to wire the syncronus converter to an electonic control device that would automatically adjust the AC voltage depending on the amp draw, in place of the rehostat...
Down the road, some battery purchase for UPS, and some solar, maybe wind, and kiss the Utility GOOD BYE...
Maybe just a dream right now, but thats my dream....
