With a DC/AC inverter from Phoenix Contact’s Quint Power family, a compact solution is available to generate alternating current in DC applications. The DC/AC inverter for DIN-rail mounting converts direct current into alternating current and provides a pure sine wave at the output. The manual selection of the AC output voltage via a signal terminal enables worldwide use.
An integrated USB interface can be used to connect industrial PCs, for example. Furthermore, the inverter can be switched in parallel. With the parallel connection of two devices, it is possible to increase the operational safety of systems in the event of power supply failure, or double the power on the output side.
Three devices can be connected in parallel to create a three-phase grid; they communicate with each other in real time, thereby synchronising the 120° phase shift. This means that AC drives can also be operated. Due to the comprehensive signalling options and the wide temperature range from -25°C to +60°C, the inverter supports flexible use.
