Introduction

This sequence of power converters, which performs two conversions, generates outputs of frequency and voltage that are consistently pure sine waves. You can shield your equipment with this Converter from the majority of power problems, such as power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise. The converter does not need to utilize an isolation transformer to supply 0 volt from AC I/P neutral to O/P neutral since it provides an internal connection from AC I/P neutral to AC O/P neutral with the common neutral topology. A lot of communication or video systems will see less interference thanks to this functionality.

CAUTION:

• The Converter connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
• The converter must be connected to a nearby wall outlet that is easily accessible. The Converter can be disconnected from the AC-power source by removing the power cord.
• DO NOT install the Converter near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
• DO NOT let a foreign body penetrate inside the Converter.
• DO NOT block the ventilation grates of the Converter.
• DO NOT expose the Converter to direct sunlight or source of heat.
• If the Converter must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
• The admissible storage temperature range is -15℃ to +55℃.

INSTALLATION

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Please follow these instructions for installation and maintenance of the Converter. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future reference.
• Increased ambient temperature will shorten the life of the Converter; keep the Converter away from heating elements.
• If ambient temperature is over 40℃, the load level will be reduced.
• The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C to ensure optimal operation, over this range will reduce the average output power due to thermal derating.

OPERATION

4.1 After installation with normal city power, the Converter will turn on automatically. Confirm the output voltage and frequency with the LCD display by pressing the up/down select button.

4.2 Converter OFF: Pushing the main control button for 3 seconds will turn off the output voltage of the Converter. The CPU will be in “OFF” (idle) mode when the LCD shows “OFF”

4.3 In Idle Mode, the Converter will turn on again when the main control button is pushed for 1 second. Please disconnect the input power if you want to shut down the Converter completely.

4.4 Change the Output Voltage and Frequency: Push the two selection buttons, △ and ▽, at the same time for 3 seconds until the LCD display begins to blink.

4.4.1 To Change the Converter O/P Frequency

When the frequency value is blinking, push any selection button, △ or ▽, for 1 second to change the frequency setting. The setting will keep changing every 2 seconds if you keep pushing the button. Push the two selection buttons at the same time to access the next setting customization option. To confirm the setting, leave the LCD Display blinking without pushing any buttons for 30 seconds. Once it stops blinking the new setting will take effect.

4.4.2 To Change the Converters Rated Voltage

When the voltage value is blinking, push any selection button for 1 second to change the rated voltage. Keep pushing the button until the required voltage is blinking. Then, push the two select buttons at the same time to confirm, or leave the LCD blinking for 30 seconds to end.

4.5 Emergency Power Off (EPO)

This input terminal is used to shut down the Converter from a distance. This feature can be used for emergency power off on both the Converter and load. Remote shutdown wires are connected to the EPO terminal (See Figure of Rear Panel on Page 6). The pins of the EPO have been connected together (i.e., shorted) at the time of manufacturing. When the connection is open, the converter will shut down immediately. In order to have the converter operable once more, the pins must be shorted with wire again. Maximum resistance of the EPO wire is 100 ohm.  Reinforced insulation of the EPO wire to the mains is required.

INDICATION AND CONTROL

5.1 LCD Display

The Converters LCD display shows the Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Output Frequency, Output Load Level, and Temperature.

5.2 Thermal Protection

If the Converter detects that it is starting to overheat, it will perform a sequence of 32 beeps every two seconds. The LCD Display will also show a high temperature symbol when the inside of the unit is too hot.

If the Converter continues to overheat, it will eventually turn itself off to protect itself from damage. Once the Converter has cooled off sufficiently, it will automatically restart.

5.3 Output Short Circuit Protection

If the Converter detects that the output voltage is too low for at least 250ms, and the output is short circuited or extremely overloaded, the Converter will shut down and attempt to restart after 30 seconds.

The Converter will continue attempts to restart up to 30 times. If the overload is still present after 30 attempts, the Converter shuts down and latches off. To restore the Converter’s functionality, remove the cause of the output short circuit or extreme overload, then push the main control button for 1 second to turn the Converter on again.

5.4 Output Overload Alarm

The Converter can accept up to 129% of a load (See Specification Sheet for each Model’s Rating on Page 12) before a continuous alarm begins to sound. If the output current drawn by the load exceeds the Converter’s over current alarm threshold, the CPU timer will start to countdown. If the overload continues for more than one minute an audible alarm will sound as long as the overload is present. If the overload alarm continues for more than one minute, the Converter will turn off the output. After a 30 second delay, the Converters output will restart.

5.5 Output Overload Protection

If the output of the Converter is loaded to more than its output overload protection threshold for more than two seconds, it will turn off its output, sound an audible alarm, and the LCD will display an overload symbol. After a 30 second delay, the Converter will turn on the output again. If the overload is no longer present, the audible alarm will stop, and the output will operate normally. If the overload is still present, the Converter will once again turn off the output and wait 30 seconds before attempting to start again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is AC 220v 50Hz?****

Alternating current (AC) power used in houses has different voltage and frequency from country to country around the world. Typically, either 110 volts or 220 volts of alternating current (AC) are employed. The majority of nations have an AC frequency of 50Hz (50 Hertz, or 50 cycles per second). Only a few devices use 60Hz.

How many watts are in 220v 50Hz?****

International 220 Volts 50 Hz 240 Volts 50 Hertz Gas Generator 9000 Watts This product can be used outside of North America and is 220 volts/240 volts.

What uses 220V in a house?****

The most potent connectors that may be found in the majority of American homes are 220-volt outlets. These plugs are designed to power ovens, dryers, and other powerful appliances that can’t be powered by a typical 110V outlet.

How much power does 50Hz use?****

It provides the information of 230 volts, 50 hertz, and 0.3 amps. The power usage at 230 volts is represented by this amps utilization figure. This amounts to 69 watts since amps times volts equal watts (230 times 0.3).

How do you tell if your house is wired for 220?****

The house has 220 volt service and appliances, such as dryers and air conditioners, if there are two 110 volt lines leading to it.

How much electricity does a 230V AC use?****

This AC unit’s voltage is listed as 208/230V, which implies that it has a 240 Volt voltage, and its Rated Load Amps are 14.4 Amps. Because of its power factor, this particular unit’s actual power consumption will be lower than 3456 watts, but in this situation, it’s better to overestimate than underestimate.

What is the difference between 220V 50Hz and 220V 60Hz?****

Operating speeds are 50Hz vs. 60Hz. The main distinction between 50 Hz and 60 Hz is that 60 Hz has a 20% higher frequency. It signifies (in plain English) 1500/3000 RPM or 1800/3600 RPM for a generator or an induction motor pump (for 60Hz). Eddy current losses and iron losses will cause the frequency to decrease.

Can I charge my phone with 220V?****

Take a hard check at the small print on the charger because many cell phone chargers are dual voltage. Something like “Input: 100-240V” or “Input: 220V” ought to be written on it. If it reads “100-240V,” it can handle North American electricity and only the plug adaptor is required.

Is there a converter for 50Hz to 60Hz?****

A frequency converter, also known as an AC power source, is an electronic device that converts fixed voltage (110V, 120V, 208V, 230V, 240V, 380V, 400V, 440V, 480V, etc.) and fixed frequency (50Hz, 60Hz) to variable voltage (change V/Hz separately) and variable frequency (50Hz, 60Hz, or 400Hz).

What is a voltage frequency converter?****

An oscillator whose frequency is linearly proportional to a control voltage is known as a voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC). The VFC/counter ADC integrates noise, is monotonic, free of missing codes, and uses relatively little power.

Which is a voltage-to-frequency converter example?****

An automobile or engine tachometer is an example of a voltage to frequency application, where an alternating current is converted to a frequency.

Can I use a VFD as a frequency converter?****

Although VFDs may change frequencies, they are less dependable than conventional frequency converters. With non-linear loads, VFDs struggle because they produce excessive vibrations, electromagnetic noise, and abrupt temperature changes that could harm items.

What are the applications of voltage-to-frequency?****

Applications for the voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) include frequency synthesizers, phase-locked loops, FM modulation, and measuring, instrumentation, and communication systems.
