1200w 48v inverter. Another building block for my server rack power upgrade.
This is a very temporary setup, I need to buy some #2 cable and double hole crimp lugs and run everything properly, but I have it connected to my 48v rectifier and it works. Waiting for some connectors to come in for my temporary battery bank as well which is just going to be 4x 7.2ah gel cells. After this I'll basically have myself a dual conversion UPS. Long term goal is to run the whole rack on this setup and have like 12+ hours of run time with golf cart batteries. For the time being though it will serve as a power conditioner, more than anything, since it will only have a few minutes of run time and the existing UPS will plug into it.
Very long term goal will be to get 2 more of those inverters but the 2200w versions. One for each PDU. This 1200 one will be for my workstations, TV and other misc stuff around the house that is currently on it's own UPS. Goal is to eliminate individual UPSes and run everything off this.
