Housekeeping Transformer
The housekeeping transformer, located in the upper right in the control electronics
compartment, is a voltage conversion device that transforms 480 VAC to
120/160 VAC for use within the inverter.
Magnetics Compartment
The magnetics compartment contains the isolation transformer and the inductors.
• Isolation transformer: The inverter comes equipped with an integral isolation
transformer. The isolation transformer is designed for class-leading inverter
efficiency.
• Inductor: The inductor is used to filter the AC waveform generated by the
power module, effectively reducing high frequency noise.
