Abstract

A system and method for powering an electrical load. The system and method including a first inverter for converting a first DC power provided from a battery within a vehicle to a first AC power. The system and method also including a rectifier that includes an input connected to a secondary winding of a transformer. The rectifier also having an output connected to at least two capacitors. The rectifier and capacitors converting the first AC power to a second DC power. The system and method also including an inverter for converting the second DC power to an output AC power that is supplied to a split-phase output. The system and method also connecting one leg of the split-phase output between the at least two capacitors and to a center tap of the transformer to modify a voltage amplitude of the second DC power.
