| 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. |
