The LVD is a good idea that I will employ, also I think I will use SSR's as the relays will probably not last too long. I had thought about direct connection but the controller side of it seemed difficult so I said I'd take the easier option in my opinion and use the AC side controlled inverter. If I feel brave in the future then I will try a direct connected heating wind turbine.
I know the answer to this but I need someone to tell me that in the long run its better to buy the pure sine wave inverter than the cheap MSW inverter? Its a difference of €250 versus €1000. But because its only being used for resistive elements the MSW might do the trick?[ Parent ]
I might even change the 500W element to 250W. Max load would be 1250W, then a 1500W inverter should handle it. Here, about 1500W is where inverters start to get expensive faster, in $/W. The savings may buy a TriStar? G-[ Parent ]
Choose your load correctly and a 1500W inverter should do the job easily.
