A few questions to clarify matters
 * is a 'caged unit' a battery, a generator or a mains power supply
 * is the source of power for the isolated PSU to be mains or something
else like solar panels
 * can you use something like a cheap modifed square-wave inverter and tap
into the 1st stage inverter(s) before the H-bridge and drive it from a
cheap welder (both of which would provide isolation).
