    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    Alright guys.... I think i just moved two feet to the left, now if i can just move forward a few steps i'll be thru the door. I have a job to do ( actually make some money) i'll be back in a few days to try and catch up. The last two post have helped and i thank i see some light. Thanks...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    Thanks stevenal I do not understand your gas pump example, but i do understand that the energy to the refigerant compressor is used to move a volume of gas that when allowed to expand has the ability to absord 60,000 BTU, but rather than let this heat just warm a room, why not apply -the 300+...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    well... This thread has gone longer than i expected from a simple question, but i feel i'm near to an understanding that has been a long time comming. It's like i'm continually walking into a wall when i know the door is only 2 feet to the left. It will take a few days to put my words in...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    A lot of good questions and comments. While going thru the site and finding answers as to how to best use the powerful tools at pretty much anyones disposal, i am almost overwhelmed at all the topics and information that is contained in these pages. I will be considering a lot of things for a...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    Thanks for the kindness in nearly all the post, I seem to have let things get out of context, due to my inability to transfer into words my thinking, understanding, and what i am trying to accomplish. My original post should have been within the intent of forum guidelines, novel schemes is...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    You have all been kind enough to respond, so i'll continue as best i can. First i do not believe in overunity, but i do believe thermal energy can be extracted from objects or mediums and converted to electrical or mechanical work. As an example 1 gallon of water has a certain weight, a well...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    Well guys.. I want to thank all who have shared thoughts with me, as jraef or p3 pointed to policies at the end of his post, i had not read them prior to his comments. I do seem to fall into #8 catagorie, as i am not formaly educated in eng. I have taken a few hours at a community college in...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    Thanks..itsmoked The learning never stops, didn't know what a VFD was so i surfed the web and found a post VFD's for dummies. A few other sites talked about using vfd's and even got close to prices but for larger HP units. If my understanding is close to right, there might be some value to a...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    My goal is to design a portable electric powered system for a tool trailer that uses no gasoline to run the generator. I have a group of 12 deep cycle batteries that will be wired in parallel for a large amp output. The three inverters will draw from all batteries at the same time, passing 120...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    I was hopeing to hear that each leg of the motor would keep them isolated from each other. They would share a common line, but each hot wire would go back to the inverter that generated it. I have not tried to contact the inverter vender as they are only a supplier in the USA i haven't looked...

    Can 3 inverters be used for 3 phase power ?

    I have three inverters and a 10 hp motor and need to know if the three units can be used to supply each leg to the motor, the inverters are modified sine wave units 5000 watt that use 12 volt in and output is 120 volt ac @ 40 amps. There will be a step up transformer that delivers 240 at 20 amps...
