110v single phase to 220v split phase

Registered Users Posts: 2
I have a off grid hydro system that is supplemented by solar, in fall and winter when friends and family are visting I have to fire up the generator occasionally to get the batteries charged back up. Well the generator died a horrible death and instead of buying a new generator with 220v split phase I was was woundering if anyone knew where I could buy a 110v single phase to 220v split phase converter so I could use my small 2000w honda generator. My charge controller only excepts 220v for generator input.

Depending on how much power you need at 220V, you can use a variety of off the shelf 110 to 110 isolation transformers or if you want very high quality and do not mind the expense, Outback sells a nice autotransformer unit that can be wired for all sorts of 110 to 220 and vice versa conversions.SMA SB 3000, old BP panels. -

There have been instances of smaller inverter generators, not being able to surge enough to "build the field" in transformers. My little 2Kw into a 3KVA transformer worked fine. Just a heads up.Powerfab top of pole PV mount | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||
