Damien Maguire has posted a couple videos using the high power D.C.battery output from his converted bmw to run many of the loads in his house straight from dc power without running the power through an inverter.
Damien says that many electronics accept a variety of voltages and use switching power supplies to do this. He demonstraights charging a cell phone, a flat screen tv an angle grinder, cordless tool chargers, etc. I am vary confused. why do i need an inverter in my off the grid cabin when I could just run on D.C. ? Damien demonstrated many items that would function on D.C. power, however the fan on his wielder failed to function while his vacuum cleaner ran just fine. I am left both excited for the possibility of creating a way to use my ev as backup power but mystified as to the theory and limitations of such a system .https://youtu.be/QlmmerXOkuE?list=PLPHK4T9kKEyYT8PKplGFraImlgI3u8BOQ I assumed an angle grinder and vacuum cleaner are ac motors, can you run ac motors on dc? is this only applicable in an emergency short term application? Is D.C. more dangerous in your house?
I am hoping the members here can provide me with enough background theory for this to make any sense to me, thanks!
