The inverter, which can provide 5kW of 120 VAC, 60Hz output under continuous duty and can handle loads of up to 16kW for short periods, features a ‘true sine’ output, making it suitable for use with sensitive electronic devices such as laptop computers.
The DC-AC inverter, designed for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, also provides under voltage and reverse polarity protection, automatic current limiting, brown out protection and a THD of less than 5%.
UQM Technologies vice president of technology Jon Lutz said that this inverter will allow the company to improve its value proposition for customers looking for a full suite of power conversion products on their vehicles.
“We are confident that this new inverter will meet the needs of a wide range of vehicle manufacturers seeking vehicle specific DC-AC inverters that operate on the higher voltage battery packs onboard electric and hybrid-electric passenger cars, trucks and buses,” Lutz said.
