more clarity please
Hi all,
In Bill's circuit he shows the choke being on the HOT side of the inverter, then going to the minus side of the Cap and Ground ("connect directly to the engine block"). This creates the relative connection of the inverter to the vehicle Ground by anchoring one side of the output circuitry solidly to the vehicle Ground. This is also common to the Spark Plug Grounds.
One thing is unclear to me however. Can the 'neutral' and 'hot' outputs of the inverter be swapped in the set up? I know some small inverters are isolated and some home power inverters have the output neutral relating to battery minus. I've only used utility AC for these experiments and have always used an isolation transformer to protect my scope.
In the revised, I'm not sure about needing the full string of 60 diodes any longer since each of the separate strings going to its respective spark plug can serve a dual purpose of blocking cross coupling and current steering. Of course you'd have to add more in each separate string as you decreased the number in the single long string.
I'm inclined to try this on my Generator set up since I can mount multiple points on the timing plate.
Peace,
Greg
