Anyone looking to get involved in doing this may like to look at a new app note from Microchip. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/01279A.pdf which is for a 1KVA (1.3KVA for 2 seconds) Offline UPS, capable of 220V/50hz or 110V/60hz operation. Should be modifiable to do what the OP was wanting. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
