Hello fellow Dogsters. This request is for those with electronic knowledge0?
I just bought a new 2015 truck, I want to use the motor, generator etc to run a power inventor of sorts?
To run my Franken 2 x 72" grinder I built with a 1 HP Motor and a KABC Variable control and a buddy wired.
I want to run that grinder and say, a light or two for knife sharpening and some demo work at Farmers Markets, peoples homes. I have been running a gasoline generator and just doing jobs at peoples homes that I can plug in at their garage.
I want to use my trucks power directly and have someone set up an inverter and battery in the bed of my truck I can plug into. For some reason Amps, Ohm's Watts etc are all Greek to me.
I am going to talk to a local Auto Electric repair shop or two, what size inventer and possibly an additional battery would I need to run that kind of draw? I want to get the right equipment for the work and not damage my new truck I just purchased. :sad:
It's a Toyota Tacoma with a four cylinder and stock battery etc. If that makes any difference?
Thanks and if you need more info please ask! I appreciate your replies.
