Matt,
I understand how they work EXCEPT how does it reduce the 230 VAC input to a 115 VAC output?

Rob,
The truth is that these are too simple for you to not understand.
They are:
A big honkin battery charge,
A stack of batteries,
A big honkin inverter.....
And that is all.
The one I was supposed to take care of had input taps so it could be matched to what ever the input voltage actually was. (I was
supposed to monitor this.) I retrospect, This was not as good as the buzz box that we have come to know and hate.
The batteries were batteries and needed water almost constantly.
The inverter was a primordial semiconductor device. Was nearly good sinusoidal output because it had a transformer that was HUGE.
The reason this could work for you is that the input gets made into DC. It doesn't really matter what it smells like. If it is AC,
Good Enough.
Matt
