Sine wave inverters

15 September 2010 Power Electronics / Power Management

Mean Well has introduced two new high performance DC/AC true sine wave inverters in the 3000 W range. Featuring high-frequency topology, the TN/TS-3000 series are lightweight and boast up to 92% efficiency.

They can provide 3000 W continuously for harsh loads with low THD below 3%. Peak load capability is 3450 W for 3 minutes, 4500 W for 10 seconds, or 6000 W surge power for 30 utility cycles.

The TS-3000 is a typical power inverter that switches DC input to AC output, while the TN-3000 further includes a built-in AC charger and solar charger. It can charge external battery banks or solar panels and then transform to AC output via its inverter stage. In this way, it can be used to implement an energy-saving, standalone power station through the addition of external lead-acid batteries and solar panels. In the TN-3000’s UPS mode, AC utility input can charge the batteries and bypass to the output device, just like the typical operation of a UPS system – the batteries can supply power to the inverter when the mains is off. While in energy saving mode, along with assembled solar panels, free energy from the sun can be stored in the battery bank.

TN/TS-3000 are digitally controlled by microprocessor and their AC output voltage, frequency, standby saving mode and UPS/energy saving mode (for TN-3000 only) can be adjusted through the front panel or optional monitoring software. In addition, these two power inverters are equipped with complete protections, include BAT over-voltage protection, BAT low alarm, BAT low shutdown, internal fuse, BAT reverse polarity and DC circuit breaker for the input side; and short circuit, inverter overload, over-temperature protections, AC circuit breaker, and GFCI (optional – F type model) for the output side. The design of the products complies with global safety and EMC certificates and they are suitable for powering all kinds of home appliances, power tools, and office and portable equipment in vehicles, yachts, mobile homes or places without access to utility power or where power quality is poor.
