Hi all,
I was hoping someone here could help. here's the problem I'm facing. My welding generator puts out 800 amps at 48 volts on two circuits (2x400 amp). The engine is a vw rabbit diesel converted to natural gas. I purposely chose a smaller engine in order to maximize the efficiency ratio. I plan on using four 12 volt golfcart batteries as surge protection for the welding shop and house hold current at night. Here is the problem ;The ac generator part is only 1500 watts at 120 volts. I need to devise a surge protection device using the batteries combined 48 volts inverted to 120 volts ac for household and shop power. Any ideas?
