Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Can a 28kw 3ph generator be used to supply a grid-tied 7.5kw Inverter's signal voltage? by borrow single phase from 28kw generator while other 3 ph power use in my workshop.as i am trying to work out the best way to go

Don't know the answer to that Dwyer, but most grid tie inverters take an awful long time to synchronize themselves up to the grid.
If your 28Kw generator moves around in frequency, even very slightly, the grid tie might have a heart attack and disconnect.
Its a very different thing locking to a crystal controlled inverter or the grid, and locking to something with a mechanical governor where the load and speed are constantly fluctuating.Cheers, Tony.

Thank for your answer as you are right as throught that before however sometime ago i saw two honda generator 240 volt Ac running together as double up the wattage,as belive has electronic freguency controller built in.

These days, some of the smaller generators have internal frequency locked inverters, which is rather nice.
I rather gather though, that a 28Kva three phase machine is going to be direct driven and controlled by a mechanical speed governor. That is going to change speed slightly as the load changes and that is going to be a big problem.Cheers, Tony.

Rectify the 3 phase into something like this, for your single phase work. Just make sure the max voltage is suitable. I think it works !!
