SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The model TI1200 series Static Electrical Power Inverter is a lightweight power converter that translates
a 20 to 36 VDC input to a 115 VAC output at 60 Hertz and provides 1200 watts (VA) of power. The
alternating current output is defined as a pure sine wave with less than 2.5% of total harmonic distortion
for clean, noise-free, harmonic-free power to supply nearly any common commercial or consumer load
rated for a nominal input of 115VAC. The TI1200 series Inverter is FAA certified to TSO C73 and tested to
rigorous environmental standards and levels of RTCA DO-160. The small size and light weight in
conjunction with its installation flexibility (inside or outside the pressure vessel) make it an ideal choice
for aircraft power needs while reducing the challenges associated with other similar products.
Highlighted features include short circuit protection, overload capability, low voltage shut-down,
temperature monitoring, a self-resettable over-temperature disable, and a remote on/off function. The
rugged extrusion that houses the unit is designed to help dissipate heat and provide mechanical strength
against vibration or other possibilities of damage. Two independent fans allow for a smaller uni t and
provide a quieter operation while keeping the internal components cool and extending the life of the unit.
