[biofuel] Bridging UPSs or inverters

2003-11-14 Thread eric12856
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

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

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. Derek 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
