240V split phase inverter

Most split phase inverters are 48v or 24v. It may be hard to find a 12v model. Magnum, Outback, and Xantrex/Schneider/Conext all make them.
You may have to use 2 120v models and stack them with the appropriate cable and interface.

I use a Schneider SW4048 at my offgrid place. Super nice and very easy to use. Pretty affordable compared to their XW series.

120 ouput. Center tapped boost transformer. 2Kw about 30 Lbs. Transformer.

The Xantrex Freedom SW series will do stacking-

Don't know what his intent is. But a split phase system can use a common neutral wire that is the same size as each hot wire. A system with two hots in phase trying to use a common neutral would need a neutral wire with twice the ampacity rating of the hot wires.

Does such a thing exist ? Yes, I want L1, L2 and neutral.

What are you trying to accomplish? Even the expensive Large motorhomes will have 2 or more 3000 or 4000 watt Inverter/chargers. They may even be 24 volt, but still use the same 120 inputs. Not Split (out of phase) that is 50 amp service. Doug

My Magnum 2812 has L1 and L2 in

That just means LINE 1 and LINE 2, NOT a split phase 50 amp type system the OP is asking about. Your Magnum is a 30 amp Inverter. Doug

This is the 240/48 volt split phase inverter I installed on my sons 2800 watt solar farm in northern CA.

Split phase is what comes out of a 240 volt center-tapped transformer winding, and can be also produced with different technology (e.g. inverters). IMO it would be more logical if it was called 2-phase power, and maybe would have been if that name wasn't already being used for something different.

What does "split phase" mean? Single phase, I guess.
