INVERTER FOR USE WITH CENTRAL SYSTEMS
Incorporating PERFERM ™ Technology
 
We produce a range of inverter units suitable for operating fluorescent lamps from low voltage AC or DC supplies, including central battery systems of 24 Volts, 50 Volts and 110 Volts and fluorescent lamps from 4 Watts to 100 Watts.
 
All PV range inverters incorporate PERFERM™ technology to ensure good lamp life and correct operation with low mercury fluorescent lamps and sine wave output to prolong lamp cathode life and prevent unpleasant visual lamp effects.
 
They are designed to comply with the European product standards EN50172, EN55015, EN61547 and EN61000.2.3 and are produced in our UK manufacturing plant which is registered to BS EN ISO9001:2000 by BSI.
 
Two types of operation are normally encountered in low voltage systems being:
1. Slave inverters - where the lamp is operated only from the inverter unit. Typical of this type of use is vehicles where there is no mains supply or an emergency lighting system that is separate to the normal lighting luminaires. An example of a slave inverter of this type is our PV289.
 
2. Inverter units with an AC hold off relay are used to convert normal mains luminaires to emergency luminaires by switching the lamp from the normal mains control gear to the inverter output when the un-switched monitored mains supply fails. An example of this type of inverter unit is our PVR110.
