Well you would think that would work but I tried that. I used a VFD coupled to a 15 KVA 3 phase transformer to provide split or two phase 120/240 volt. Light insignificant loads yes it worked but any load of significant current just faulted out the VFD.
For example any way I had programmed the VFD, for example, the refrigerator would fault the VFD. Tried charging the car at 5 amps but no happiness, the second the contactor closed the VFD switched off.
I'm quite familiar with them but the instantaneous loads are seen as a fault in the motor (transformer) and it would just shut down.
The inverter we are building will cost much less and be more tailored to home use than a similar rated VFD.
