1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. GENERAL The principles of operation described herein are applicable to all models. The DSPM, Inc. Micro Elite Emergency Lighting Inverters are manufactured to provide critical power for lighting during a power outage. The Micro Elite meets or exceeds the life safety codes of UL924 and UL1778.
The on-line DC/AC inverter converts the DC voltage to a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) waveform. This waveform is filtered and reconstructed to a desired AC output and the load is transferred to the inverter.

The capacity of the Micro Elite may need to be greater than what would be estimated based on the system label require- ments of loads previously discussed. Contact the factory directly if you have any ques-tions about powering unusual loads from your Micro Elite.
