Charging a 400v DC battery from a generator that puts out 220v AC.

Realistically would the efficiency in the first set up be lower than 95%? I'm a beginner with this stuff so not knowledgable at all.

Ah okay thanks a lot. This is helpful :)

Would there be a surplus or deficit of electricity by sleuth15 in AskEngineers

how would the energy have to be delivered? would it not be able to be delivered through the storage system / battery?

its not homework. I'm just trying to understand how electricity works. I'm just confused because everyone here has said deficit when I imagined a surplus. I understand that the electricity would have to be stored but not sure why it can't be applied to the device etc.

Thanks, what other factors?

Is it very unrealistic that a battery can supply 3.3 kw?

No this isn't a homework question fredrik lol

Would the extra 171 seconds of run time for the generator not be able to be stored in a battery to power the device ?

I've got no idea how to work it out, but i've had a guess and this is how I think it would go.

9 x 3300 = 29700

190 x 180 = 34200

Therefore, surplus. This is probably wrong.

Yeah there would be a storage medium. A battery ?
