Ray:
I am looking for a compressor to install on a cruising boat. The boat is equipped with a 4kW diesel generator that can put out 120VAC, 1 phase at 33A. It can also be configured to put out 240VAC, 1 phase at 16A.
I am proposing using a VFD to drive a 3HP 3 phase motor in order to manage the startup loads as well as to be able to fine tune the compressor rpm without overloading the generator.
The compressor would be installed in the engine room and would need automatic drains and a snorkel to the outside. Blowers would be on to provide cooling.
Have you had any experience configuring a MCH-6 system this way?
