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 two separate output options:
Model Part Number Output
TI1200 6431200-1 115 VAC, 60 Hz
TI1202 6431200-3 230 VAC, 50 Hz
Both configurations of the Model TI1200 Series provide 1200 watts (VA) of power. The alternating current
output is defined as a pure sine wave with 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 common avionics and related equipment. The TI1200 Series Static Inverter is FAA certified to TSO
C73 and tested to rigorous environmental standards and levels of RTCA DO-160. 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 and
provide a quieter operation while keeping the internal components cool and extending the life of the unit.
