Solar inverter also functions as UPS
September 2007
Electrical Power & Protection
Mean Well has launched a DC/AC power inverter with UPS and solar charging function. The new TN-1500 series targets the renewable energy market. The true sine wave inverter can provide 1500 W continuously, 1725 W surge power for 3 minutes, or 2250 W for 10 seconds with low distortion (THD <3%) to all types of loads.
Not only is this a powerful inverter, with the built-in AC charger and solar charger, but the series can also used as a UPS system by adding external battery banks and solar panels. The AC utility input can charge the batteries and also bypass to the output side. If solar panels are connected to the system then they can be used to charge the batteries. Controlled by a microprocessor, the TN-1500 series controls the output AC voltage and frequency.
This unit is equipped with battery low alarm, low shutdown, and protection for polarity reversal, input over-voltage, output short circuit, inverter overload, internal fuses, over temperature and equipped with output AC line circuit breaker. It complies with global safety and EMC certificates and is suitable for powering home appliances, power tools, vehicles, yachts, office and portable equipment, etc.
