an unusual charging problem
Hi all, I'm generator charging from need for the first time in my life. It is not hot enough to run the roof air. Here is a bit about the system. Magnum 3000 Hybrid 12 volt to 120 volt with A...

Hi BFL13,
Yes, (assuming zero losses) the Sola Basic looks like this:
IN
100 volts @ 12 amps = 1200 watts
OUT
120 volts @ 10 amps = 1200 watts.
That is simplified of course, because the autoformer does "cost" 4% to operate. So the "in" side would be about 1248 watts, not 1200. Since you prefer amps that would be 12.48 amps rather than 12.

"which could be more useful than expect it to boost power."
I would assume that it cannot boost Power since you can't get more out than in, but it could perhaps boost voltage while reducing amps for the same power?
