Hi. I working on designing a power system one of my projects. There will be a 180V 1HP (746 Watt) permanent magnet motor (acting as a generator) rotating at 1800-2400 RPM. The motor will charge a 12VDC car battery. The power from the battery will be converted to 120VAC via a 500W+ power inverter like one used in a car. The appliance that will be plugged into the inverter requires 450W of power.
I know that I will need a charge controller to insure the battery does not over charge. I have research several charge controllers. However, the charge controllers are for solar applications. I feel that those controllers are not suitable for this project. Does any have a charge controller that they would suggest for me to use? I want a controller that will work for this project while staying under budget.
Also, does anyone have experience with a similar project? What issues should be considered in a project like this?
Thanks in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.
