Swap 3ph inverter for beer tokens.

Aug 08, 2006 13 Replies

Last week, someone here was asking for a 3ph in 3ph out inverter.



I knew I had one, somewhere. :)



Any interest in a Danfoss unit? I've had it in store for about 6 years, doubt that I will ever use it.



Danfoss type VLT1



3x380/415V, 50/60 Hz, 2.4/2.2A
1-100Hz, 1.2kW About 13" cube.

It's old, but *very* well made. In original packaging. So, your choice, either: it's brand new and unused, or it failed in service, was swapped out with replacement and failed inverter put in new box.



I recon it's new, no guarantee, 3ph available here for testing. Location: Long Eaton. M1 J24-5.



Please reply to the group, if there's any interest I'll clear out the spam filling my inbox. Otherwise it can stay full of spam.



Regards,



David P.



It was me, but unfortunately 1.2kW isn't enough :-(

When you guys says beer tokens, what do you mean? I've never fully understood......

Come on man we are talking beer tokens not Scottish and Newcastle's brewery.

It's a bit like - I owe you a pint. I presume David is just looking to offload it so buy him a drink and it's yours :)

I'd be interested, but they have taken out the overhead three phase so 'm stuck with single phase now :(

Now serious (I woundered about the tokens since longer). Does it mean notes or do you have beer tokens that can be consumed in any pub (except notes, of course). Here in Germany (Bavaria), there are "beer tokens", but mostly just valid at the Oktoberfest or in some pubs (and bound to that brewery).

We do have the currency of a box of beer (20 bottles a 0.5l), but that requires specifying the brewery. :-)

Prost!

Ah but the point is that with many three phase inverters they'll run derated off a single phase input. The gamble is that not all will allow this - some have sophisticated systems that sense a low/null voltage on an input leg. I'd guess that an older one may be a better bet.....

So it might be usable on a something like a 1/2- 3/4 HP three phase motor.

Hard cash of the silent type - the stuff that doesn't jangle in your pocket. Usually interpreted as not a lot of hard cash but not always.

Generically it means 'something' for the goods but not much :-)) the actual amount being subject to friendly negotiations.

In most cases that I have been involved with it is usually a favour passed on or a favour to be saved for future use. Very little actually gets paid for....

Glad I wasn't the only one who didn't know :-)
