UPS to 1.5kW Sinewave Inverter Conversion part1 - Free Sinewave Inverter??

UPS to 1.5kW Sinewave Inverter Conversion part1 - Free Sinewave Inverter A free 1500 Watt sine wave Inverter?? This video shows how you can make one for very minimal cost. In this video series I convert an APC Smart UPS 1500 into a 1500W sinewave inverter. I cover the conversion process in detail explaining the whats, hows, and whys along the way. This video series is very lengthy and I debated whether I would put it on YouTube because many people may find it rather boring, however when my previous UPS to Inverter conversion video hit 5k hits I decided to also upload this one. It is more detailed, complete, and in-depth than my Back UPS 650 video and should be considered educational rather than entertainment. If you want a stripped down version that just covers the conversion process, leave a comment, and I may make an abbreviated version that leaves out the technical info and the whys. Part 1: introductions, general inspection, and first-time-fireup of the UPS. Part 2: The guts of the UPS. A description of how it works and what I need to do to upgrade its capabilities. Part 3: UPS waveforms. The different types, how they are produced, and why. Part 4: A demonstration of the differences between modified Sine vs true sinewave inverters, and a test of the output waveform of the Smart UPS 1500. Part 5: Benchmarking. I test the thermal performance, efficiency, and surge capability of the un-modified UPS. Part 6: Making modifications to the PCB that will upgrade its capacity. Adding transistors, a capacitor, and resistors. Part 7: Benchmarking part2: Testing the operation and surge capability of the upgraded UPS. Part 8: Increasing the output limit to 1500W using the APC Software and a terminal program to modify the internal factory calibration settings. Part 9: Testing the thermal performance of the UPS/Inverter after all of the upgrades and changes. Part 10: Final results and conclusion.
