Transformers
An autotransformer can be used for
step-up, step-down, generator and split phase output balancing or as a series
stacked inverter to load balancing auto-former.
Step up: Provides power 240 VAC
loads from a single 120 VAC inverter/charger. This is frequently used for
powering deep well pumps or other dedicated high power 240 VAC loads.
Step down: Allows connection of
a large 120 VAC load to the output of a stacked pair inverters (120/ 240 VAC).
This results in the inverters sharing the load, allowing higher performance and
efficiency. This solution can also be applied to a generator allowing it to
provide its entire power to your inverter/battery charger.
