Default OT? armature question (rotary inverter)


RediLine makes motor-generators (more accurately 'motor-alternators')
for converting automotive DC (12 - 24 volt) to AC for powering tools,
etc. - so what you have is a DC motor coupled to an AC alternator in one
package.

These used to be very popular with mobile locksmiths and similar trades
for powering 120 VAC machinery in a vehicle.

'Inverter' is generally construed to mean 'electronic DC-AC converter'
using solid state widgets.

These motor-generators (IMHO) are superior to inverters for motor loads
- they tolerate a lot more starting overcurrent without releasing the smoke.
