SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The model TI1200 Series Static Electrical Power Inverter is a lightweight power converter that translates a
20 to 36 VDC input to a variety of application options:
Model Part
Number
Output Typical Application
TI1200 6431200-1 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 1200VA General Purpose 115V cabin power
TI1200 6431200-2 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 1200VA Edge Mount, non-TSO
TI1202 6431200-3 230 VAC, 50 Hz, 1200VA General purpose 230V cabin power
TI1200 6431200-4 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 1200VA High-peak power microwave ovens/coffee makers
TI1202 6431200-5 230 VAC, 50 Hz, 600VA For aircraft with power-limited electrical systems
TI1204 6431200-6 115 VAC, 400 Hz, 1200VA General Purpose 400Hz aircraft power
TI1204 6431200-7 115 VAC, 400 Hz, 1000VA Emergency or General Purpose 400Hz aircraft
power. MS3102A24-11P Connector.
Table 1.1: TI1200 Model Variations
Most configurations of the Model TI1200 Series provide 1200 watts (VA) of power. The 6431200-5 is one
exception which is adjusted to limit output to 600VA for aircraft electrical systems that can only support
limited 28VDC current. The 6431200-7 is another exception which uses a MS3102A24-11P connector for
plug-in compatibility with legacy inverters.
For all TI1200 Family inverters the AC output is defined as a pure sine wave with typically less than 2.5%
of total harmonic distortion for clean, noise-free, harmonic-free power to supply loads of corresponding
voltage, power and frequency. For the TI1200, the 115VAC 60 Hertz (Hz) is suitable for nearly any
common commercial or consumer load rated for a nominal input of 115VAC. The TI1202 is designed for a
230VAC output with an AC frequency of 50 Hz for international equipment. The TI1204 is designed to
meet 115VAC 400Hz for aircraft system uses.
The TI1200 Series Static Inverter is FAA certified to TSO C73 and tested to rigorous environmental
standards and levels of RTCA DO-160G. The small size and light weight in conjunction with its installation
flexibility (inside or outside the pressure vessel) make it an ideal choice for aircraft power needs while
reducing the challenges associated with other similar products.
Highlighted features include short circuit protection, overload capability, low voltage shut-down,
temperature monitoring, a self-resettable over-temperature disable, and a remote on/off function. The
rugged extrusion that houses the unit is designed to help dissipate heat and provide mechanical strength
against vibration or other possibilities of damage. Two independent fans allow for a smaller unit,
quiet operation, and keep the internal components cool extending the life of the unit.
The True Blue Power TI1200 series has proven to be modular and adaptable to meet different OEM
applications. If you have specific functional needs in a power inverter, inquire with the Mid-Continent
Instruments and Avionics sales team.
