12VDC to 220 VAC VFD
I am a farmer, formerly a textile plant engineer. I am interested in using variable frequency drives to power various attachments for vegetable production equipment powered by the 12VDC tractor electrical system. Most applications wouldn't require more than 1 HP. I've been told it should be possible to power an off the shelf drive with an off the shelf pure sine wave inverter. That seems a bit redundant, not to mention inefficient, since it would involve DC to AC conversion followed by AC to DC conversion, followed by DC to AC conversion. Is anybody aware of an off the shelf product?
Thanks for your help,
Mark
