I could have bought one of these also. {slewrate} The 'easy' way to make a sine converter is to use a class B push-pull amplifier and a split secondary transformer (2x10V for 12V batteries). All the other ways involve a DC/DC converter steered with |sin| waveform and an active H bridge in the high voltage side. This will give about 70% efficiency, which is low. Maybe it would be easier to convert the 115Vac installation to 24Vdc or 48Vdc and save one major part (or pita). What would it take to convert the blower to a static switched dc motor ? These are made to specs like you need for servo purposes. Peter -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
