Is it possable to hook up two inverters, each 120 volts into my
household system to get 240 volts? I am running a lister 3 cyl 15kw
generator during the day and a 1500 watt inverter at night running off
batteries charged by the generator. I have most of the house hooked up
to one side of my breaker panel, and just the 220 hooked up to both
sides, when I switch over to inverter, I shut off the 220 breakers to
make sure I don't overload the inverter, tho I don't think having one
leg dead on the 220 would allow current to flow. don't know.. So, Can
I hook up one inverter to each side of my breaker box and use 220 to
run my well pump? If so, I can get some higher power inverters to do
that. I don't have the funds to get a pure sine wave 220 volt
inverter, so am stuck with the cheap 200.00 ones from coleman.
I thought about trying it, but don't want to fry the inverters and
than have to buy new ones.
Thanks for any info
William

May want to contact a professional electrician, seen many botched DIY that
have ended in nasty problems not only for the home owner but for others in
the general area. Have it done right for your protection. Cheers.

Not possible unless they can be phase syncronized.

Why don't you simply pay your electric bill. :-)

27,000.00 to get electricity to my house. Would you give me a loan for
that? If you would, I will GLADLY pay my electric bill!!

Your problem is better presented on alt.energy.homepower. Try it.
