GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0
INTRODUCTION
The Behlman INV 2500 series of DC to AC power inverters incorporate the latest in
switched mode power technology to provide regulated AC power from a user
supplied DC source. These devices produce a sinewave output comparable to that
which is available from typical utility power. Each model provides electronic
protection along with a high short term overload capacity making them ideal for many
loads requiring large “in - rush” currents. All units are housed in a rugged steel
enclosure making them well suited to operation in industrial applications.
Available options include an AC input bypass and signaling contacts. The AC
bypass option is available in two configurations. The “DI” option favors the DC input
and will switch to AC when the DC input is lost. The second option , A1, will favor the
AC line input and will switch to the inverter if the line is lost. These features allow the
unit to be incorporated into a user defined back-up power system.
