  • Can this be done: UPS as Grid Tie + Generator

    Ok

    Been thinking about this and so far I have come up with this:

    8kW generator output (real sine wave out), into the input of a 5kW UPS (real sine wave out) through a switch. The UPS feeds off a big bank that you charge somehow. The output line of the UPS is also tied to the output line of the generator.

    Now when that switch is ON, the 5kW UPS is doing nothing (or charging the batts). When the switch if OFF, would we have 13kW output on the line?

    My thinking is yes because the UPS has synced to the output of the generator so we can safely grid tie them.
Working...
