Re: [MV] 24v input to 120VAC output converter. Cheap, too!

I picked up a couple of ones made for use with military computer
gear from Steve Haney. 24VDC in, 120VAC out. Can be used
standalone for field power, as an inveter, or as a UPS, depending
how you wire/use them. 800 watts, baby!

There was no data and Elgar was no help, but I did create a
manual showing exactly how to hook it up and use it how you wish.

The units were sold as-is ('for parts'), but 2 out of 3 worked
and I'm happy.

Anyway look at this for a real nice piece of gear:
