Topology
The Global LF inverter/charger is built according to the following topology.
Invert: Full Bridge Topology.
Charge: Isolated Boost Topology.
It works bi-directionally: in one direction it converts DC power from the battery to AC power (Inverter
Mode) and in the other direction it converts external AC power to DC power to charge the batteries (AC
Mode). The same power components are used in both directions, resulting in high-energy transfer efficiency
with fewer components.
When operating in inverter mode, the direct current (DC) that enters the inverter from the batteries is filtered
by a large input capacitor and switched "On" and "Off" by the Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistors
(MOSFET) at a rate of 50 Hz or 60Hz, in this step the DC is converted to low voltage synthesized sine wave
AC using an H-bridge configuration and high frequency PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technique. It is
then directed into the transformer which steps the low AC voltage up to 230 or 120 volts.
The unit has a 16bit, 4.9MHZ microprocessor to control the output voltage and frequency as the DC input
voltage and/or output load varies.
Because of the high efficiency MOSFETs and the heavy transformers, it outputsPURESINEWAVEAC
with an average THD of 10% (min 3%, max 20% under full linear loads) depending on load connected
and battery voltage. The peak DC to AC conversion efficiency of the Global LF series is >88%.
Don’t parallel the AC output of the inverters to increase power capacity as they have no
stacking functionality.
