Inverter 220 to 440

How do I convert 220V to 440V?

The inverter for the machine requires a 440V, three phase power supply. My shop only has 220v single phase power. 1. Change the inverter to one that accepts 220V single phase- expensive and potentially complicated (I would imagine). 2. Use a single phase transformer to convert 220 to 440. Then use a rotary phase converter. Would this work?

What is a 220V power inverter?

A 220 volt power inverter converts direct current to conventional alternating current. It can be used to run electronic equipment when there is no normal power supply. Sam Stores stocks a wide range of power inverters to match your needs.

How much RPC do I need for a 440 volt oven?

That is an insane oven. You would need a huge RPC to handle 48.8amps @ 440V (Nearly 100amps 240V 3 phase supply which would require even more than that from single phase). It was mentioned here that having the various taps on the transformer allowed you to dial it in so as to allow all phases to be nearly equal.

Are 480V to 240V Transformers reversible?

Transformers are reversible, however, there is some loss that is accounted for when used for the stated step up or down. When you reverse the transformer, that loss is still accounted for, only in reverse, so a 480V to 240V transformer when supplied with 240V may not give you the full 480V output. This thread is interesting.
