Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The Behlman INV 1210 series of 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” modified sinewave” output, which represents the RMS value of what is available from typical utility power. -
Page 8: Theory Of Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION The INV 1210 series utilizes high frequency switched mode power conversion to convert the incoming DC to an AC output. The first stage is a DC to DC converter which “steps - up” the input voltage to a regulated +/- 160 Vdc. This voltage is applied to a second high frequency “house keeping”... -
Page 9: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION The INV 1210 series inverters have been designed to be installed in a standard 19" relay rack or EIA type enclosure. A set of accessory rack “ears” are provided for this feature. These rackmount adapter brackets may be mounted at the front panel or in the middle of the chassis. - Page 10 WIRING (continued) Units supplied with the AC input bypass option should be wired slightly differently so that neutral is “carried through” to the output but is not shorted to the GND terminal. This will place one side of the inverter output at the neutral potential. It should be noted that this is only recommended to satisfy the NEC requirements.

WIRING (continued) The recommended wire size for each model is listed below. These sizes are based on a maximum wire length of 10 to 15 feet. Longer wires should be increased in diameter.

Page 13: Optional Alarm Contacts
OPTIONAL ALARM CONTACTS The alarm contact option provides the user with a convenient means of monitoring the DC input, AC input, and AC output of the inverter. Each function provides one set of “dry” C form contacts which accommodate any logic required. The contact rating of the alarm functions are 0.3 amp @ 125 Vac maximum. -
Page 14: Operational Considerations
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS LOADING LIMITATIONS: The INV series are designed to produce a power level of 1200 Watts ( real power) under continuous operating conditions. In addition, they can supply bursts of over 1500 watts for several seconds. Peak repetitive currents on the order of 60 amps may also be supplied continuously as long as they do not exceed the RMS value of 10 amps. -
Page 15: Powering Non-Linear Loads
POWERING MOTORS (continued) The model 1210s current limiting can be an advantage when starting motors. During the starting period, the motor will attempt to draw excessive power from the inverter. The current limit circuit will “pulse” the output current with high peaks in an attempt to start the motor. - Page 16 POWERING NON-LINEAR LOADS (continued) Other non-linear loads such as phase controlled SCR bridges or some types of power factor corrected “front ends” will be adversely affected by the modified sinewave produced by this equipment. These devices require a sinusoidal voltage for proper operation and timing.
