  • Patent number: 5353216
    Abstract: A open-framed and lightweight inverter power source rack made from aluminum that offers the versatility of providing varying amounts of power sources from a single branch circuit external power supply. A first rack can act as a stand-alone power supply for up to four power sources. A second or slave rack detachably connects with the first rack as the need for power sources increases on a job site. The slave rack is fed from the same external power supply as the first rack. As the need for power sources on the job site decreases, the slave rack may be disconnected from the first rack and connected to another rack where additional power sources are required. Moreover, inverter power racks are adapted to be shipped and transported in knock-down, disassembled state for final partial assembly by the user to reduce shipping and manufacturing costs.
