Re: [biofuel] Bridging UPSs or inverters
I do not believe they can be paralleled without modifying the electronics to synchronize the 60 hz inverter. Inverters designed for grid-intertie have a lot more protection built in, and automatically synchronize with the line frequency. -Martin Klingensmith This may be a bit off topic, but I have an inverter question: I have a couple of APC SmartUps's (computer uninterruptible power supply). I was wondering if the output of these can be linked in parallel (assuming correct polarity and initially sync'ed to grid frequency) to add additional capacity. The reason for this is that they can be had relatively cheap compared to a Trace inverter. My hope is to place them between my bio-diesel co-generator (heats the house too) to 1) condition the power and 2) run the house on batteries during low current demand periods. I know Trace and some other solar inverters can by bridged together, but how about a UPS? Anyone know if it can be done? Thanks in advance!

Re: [biofuel] Bridging UPSs or inverters
Hi, I believe you need some sort of master controller to keep them in sync - otherwise, I believe, they will drift out of sync over time.
