Schaefer Announces Compact, Rugged 750W DC-AC Inverter for Rail and Industrial Applications

January 17, 2012 by Jeff Shepard

Schaefer announced the PRP-750 Series of highly efficient, pure sine wave inverters that provide up to 750VA of power in a chassis mount package. The PRP-750 Series has versions that meet industrial (EN60950) or rail (EN50155) standards.

Standard input voltages of 12, 24, 48, 72, and 110Vdc are inverted to adjustable 120 or 230Vac outputs that are regulated to 4% or better. Units can be configured for three phase synchronized output.

All models in the PRP-750 Series feature overload protection, efficiency up to 88%, and have remote inhibit as part of the standard design. A wide operating temperature of -25 to +70°C allows for installations in extreme conditions and meets EN50155 Class 3. Emissions to EN61000-6-4 and EN60121-3-2 meets both industrial and rail standards and minimizes interference to other sensitive equipment.

The compact size of the PRP-750 Series measures 7.87 x 5.12 x 1.95". In addition to chassis mounting, an optional DIN rail clip is available.

Schaefer’s full family of pure sine wave inverters also includes other stand-alone modules starting at 250W of power, and higher power rack designs that include UPS functionality.

Modifications to standard units are available. In addition, Schaefer can design and manufacture fully custom solutions. PRP-750 Series pricing is from $960.00 at 100 pieces, with significant OEM quantity discounts.
