Versatile Unit is AC Power Source / Frequency Converter / Inverter

April 22, 2014 by Jeff Shepard

Behlman Electronics, Inc. has developed a new AC Power Source / Frequency Convertor / Inverter designed for a variety of market segments. It delivers 1350VA of clean, regulated ac power from a 3.5" high bench-top unit that easily converts to rack mount. The Behlman Model PF1352 is microprocessor-controlled, and provides fully adjustable voltage and frequency, low output THD, and high efficiency, plus excellent line and load regulation. Its unique overload protection system folds back voltage to maintain rated current without distorting waveform output. It has settings and measurements for voltage, frequency, current, current limit, watts and power factor, plus fault indicators for over voltage, over current, over temperature, constant current and overload latch.

This unit can be controlled via front-panel pushbuttons, or remotely via its RS232 interface. Options include an IEEE-48 interface, extended frequency range of 45 to 1000 HZ, and an adapter for USB to serial port. At only 3.5” H x 17” W x 22” D (8.9 cm x 43.2 cm x 55.9 cm) the Model PF1352 readily fits on any workbench. An optional rack mount kit is also available.

“Our Model PF1352 is one of the most versatile power sources we have ever designed,” said Behlman President, Ronald Storm. “Its small size, quiet operation, and high efficiency make it ideal for avionics tests, power conversion, and ATE testing. By meeting CE Certification standards, we have ensured that this frequency converter is an international product.”
