Unipower Offers 1U High Sine Wave Inverters That Provide Up To 2kVA

April 29, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

UNIPOWER Corp. announced a new series of rack-mount sine wave inverters that the company claims will find wide application in telecoms systems. The Scimitar Series are 1U high, 1kVA and 2kVA sine wave inverters designed for 19" rack systems and capable of producing a 115 or 230Vac output from a 12, 24 or 48Vdc power source.

Each sine wave inverter provides a low distortion 50 or 60Hz sine wave produced by a digital signal processor (DSP) controlled power circuit using an advanced high frequency, pulse width modulation (PWM) technique which achieves efficiency levels as high as 92%.

An integral static switch allows the user to connect a utility or another ac power source which can then be automatically switched to the load if the sine wave inverter fails. Output voltage and frequency can be programmed either from the front panel or via an integral RS232 interface and the unit’s digital display provides the user with an instant indication of the inverter’s status.

All Scimitar sine wave inverter models meet the requirements of all relevant safety standards including UL60950-1, CSA22.2 No. 60950-1 and EN60950-1. Scimitar sine wave inverters are RoHS compliant.
