Cricket Bowling Machine PORTABLE Power Supply

[jimjim2991]

Hi

Recently purchased something called a Paceman Pro Bowling machine.

The manufacturers have not yet come up with their own portable power pack.

Due to the fact it will be used in the middle of a field, I need a way of running it without the mains.

Options being considered: pure sine wave (apparently this is a must) inverter plus battery OR a portable generator...

Details about the machine:
-400W underload, average of between 100-150W
-draws less than 2 Amp
-based on their testing a 12V battery around 22 Amp/hr will run the machine for about an hour

I would prefer to run it off a portable generator because I could run the machine longer than an hour.

See this previous email exchange I've had with the manufacturer regarding the use of a portable generator:

Could I safely run the bowling machine off of something like this: Wolf Leisure Power Genie WPG950 800 Watt, 2.6HP Silent Portable 4-Stroke Petrol Inverter Digital Generator - Ideal for Camping Caravan & Back-Up Power - Low Oil Level Sensor - Thermal Overload Protection - Econo Switch fuel Saving: Amazon.co.uk: Gard

The machine can be run off of a pure sine wave portable generator. I can't seem to find anywhere on the link you sent me whether the generator is a pure or modified sine wave.

A modified sine wine wave generator may possibly work with the machine however you may get intermittent pulses of power which could result in unexpected performance when changing speed settings.

Hope this helps.

Please could people recommend some solutions for running this in a portable way?

Thanks
