UNIPOWER Releases New Compact 1U High Sine Wave Inverters

UNIPOWER Corp. announced a new series of rack-mount sine wave inverters that will find wide application in mission critical systems. The Scimitar Series are 1U high, 1kVA and 2kVA sine wave inverters designed for 19in 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 very 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%. In normal operation these inverters isolate the load from wide voltage swings, transients and noise present in the utility provided ac that can cause reliability problems in systems. A built-in static transfer switch allows the user to connect a utility or another ac power source which can then be automatically switched to the load for inverter backup.

Output voltage and frequency can be programmed either from the front panel and the unit’s digital display provides the user with an instant indication of the inverter’s status, which can also be obtained via an RS232 interface. AC output connections are provided by two NEMA 5-15 outlets for the 115V versions and two IEC60320-C13 outlets for 230V versions.

All Unipower Corp. Scimitar sine wave inverter models meet the requirements of all relevant safety standards including UL60950-1, CSA22.2 No. 60950-1 and EN60950-1. Additionally, 115V versions are UL Listed. Scimitar sine wave inverters are RoHS compliant.
