DougI expect you are right about the Statpower, being nothing special, except lacking any digital bells, and whistles.I have an entire case of high tech inverters lacking the control brains simply because the stupid cases looked cool for some ficticious devices used in Robo Cop. I got the gutted cases delivered to me from the props department to put some gizmo gorp light up led on the outside, as a count down timer. I just happened to ask what did they did with the remains from the inside, and could I have them?The driver kindly did the dumpster dive and delivered them to my shop.It really helps to share what you are really working on with other people, when you are doing what we do. It is amazing how much popular support there is for the outcome.In this case, as it were, I have not been able to figure out the control logic for them. Imagine 24, brand new 400 watt inverters gutted for their pretty cases.This is a special punishment for old Industrial Design graduates, just to taunt them.I did manage to buy a new inverter all complete at Canadian Tire that was on sale of the same batch from China.No wonder it took 4 twenty eight foot moving trucks to somewhat empty my studio in Toronto!How is your move back to the west coast doing?At least there, you have a friendly climate. We still have snow on the North sides of the buildings. A huge wind took a 20 x 20 patch of tin off the roof of my big barn, so we are dealing with putting a new roof on the old barn.Spring and more experiments.Cheers Warren

Hi Warren
Yes this will be interesting to see that work again....I would think the invertor is not so important and batteries at input will get the same results but would be good to have the variac after the rectified invertor signal so you can easily try different voltage inputs....good luck with it! Let us know how it goes take smartphone video if possible
