The inverter is connected to the battery so when there's a power outage the inverter just runs off the battery rather than the power supply. I connect all equipment to the inverter of course. The benefit is I can put as large a battery as I like into the system so I can keep ruunning during an outage. Voila, isolated power to the scope and continued running during an outage.
Hmmm, rather OT this ... what did you think of my repro?  |
