My pardons. My statement therefore is incorrect. The older models used the field bleed and ate brushes like there was no tomorrow. Question...
Does the inverter model have permenant magnets to start the excitation process? Relying on rotor residual magnetism is a loser with inductive excitation
Thanks for the correction. Running a gen for a little over 100-watts charge potential is not an intelligent use of an expensive machine. My 700-watt 2-stroke can power a 40-amp MegaWatt If the power supply is energized but not connected to the batteries. Once the capacitors charge the unit then is connected to the load. Five hours on a quart and a half of gasoline ain't bad.
