OPERATION ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE The TI250 series Static Inverter converts a direct current (DC) voltage input to a regulated 115 volt alternating current (VAC) output. The output is controlled to a frequency of 60 Hertz and represents a pure sine wave with minimal distortion. The unit is capable of providing 250 watts to power a variety of aircraft accessories including laptops, personal electronics, and onboard systems.

True Blue Power, Wichita, KS The inverter monitors the AC output on a pulse-by-pulse scenario to determine a short-circuit or over-current situation. If detected, the output is limited by clipping the AC sine waveform, limiting the power output. If the short-circuit or over-current situation continues for more than a few seconds, the inverter will turn-off the AC output and indicate a fault on the fault output line.
True Blue Power, Wichita, KS SECTION 5 CONFORMANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS No periodic scheduled maintenance or calibration is necessary for continued airworthiness of the TI250 series Static Inverter. If the unit fails to perform to specifications, the unit must be removed and serviced by Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics or their authorized designee.
