It has been announced that ABSOPULSE Electronics has recently released the FCP 1K-F7W Series of compact, AC/AC frequency converters designed for rugged industrial applications that require universal AC-input voltage and split-phase AC-output with pure sine-wave output voltage.

The frequency converters use field proven, microprocessor-controlled FCP1000 technology to generate 1,000VA continuous output power with pure sine wave output voltage. High frequency conversion enables compact construction, low weight and high efficiency.

The FCP 1K-F7W units provide a split-phase AC-output stage for various configurations. The units can be configured to provide 115Vac split phase/60Hz each, which emulates North American AC-outlet utility voltage. Other available output options include a single phase 115V/400Hz or 230Vac/50Hz.

A high AC-output voltage version which generates 400 to 450Vac single phase is also available. The frequency converters operate from a power factor corrected (PFC) universal input range of 95V to 264Vac, 47 to 63Hz; 400Hz frequency is available on request.

Cooling is by high quality built-in fans and by additional conduction via the baseplate. Conformal coating provides protection against humidity and airborne contaminants. To ensure immunity to the high levels of shock and vibration encountered in harsh environments, the internal boards are ruggedised.

All models in the series comply with EN61000-3-2 directive for low input harmonic distortion and with C22.2 No. 107.1-01, UL 458 and EN/UL60950-1 and equivalent industrial safety standards. They have filtering on the input and output for low noise. The input meets EN55032 Class A with wide margins; Class B is available on request.

Efficiency is typically 80% at full load. Electronic protection features include 3,000Vdc input to output isolation, over-voltage and short circuit protection with thermal shutdown with automatic recovery in case of insufficient cooling.

ABSOPULSE Electronics is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specialising in the design and manufacture an extensive range of custom and standard industrial and railway quality power conversion solutions. We offer one of the broadest selections of sine wave inverters available on the market today. All of our designs are built in-house.
