coverting 220v MSW 60 cycle 5000 watt converter to 110/220v split wave output
I bought the Generac 7kv propane generator which I have installed, it came with a transfer switch which is designed to switch from hydro to generator when 220/110vac plit phase hydro drops out.
I thought I maybe able to hook up my solar,wind,battery power system through a 24vdc to 220v ac modified sine wave 5000 watt inverter which I have already bought. but when I received it it only had 2 wire output not the 220/110 split phase output?? is has 4 universal plugs for the 220vac output (only 2 wires hooked up to them) but they are parallelled up from 4 diff. cct boards.
I am not familiar with the design but in the instructions it says it raises the 24vdc to 300vdc then converts this using advanced MOSFET transistors in a full bridge configuration. It also says its capable to start and run difficult reactive loads.
I am wondering if I bought a 220v to 220/110v split phase transformer and put that between the inverter and the transfer switch.
I do not want to buy a transformer which will cost me around 300$ plus shipping just to blow everything up??
Any body had any experience with this type problem I would appreciate any help I can get.
Regards Ron
