REDI-LINE selection is easy. Using the tables shown in the Application Information section, locate the tool or appliance you will be operating. Once you have located the item, refer to the right hand columns for the recommended 12V or 24V REDI-LINE. If you have any questions, or the item you need to power is not shown in those tables, contact your REDI-LINE distributor for help in selecting the right unit.
AC motors require additional information for the selection process. If you plan to use REDI-LINE to operate an AC motor, please use the AC Motor Applications Table (below) and instructions to determine which REDI-LINE will provide the correct starting current.
It is important to match REDI-LINE and AC motor loads
correctly since AC motor starting currents can be 1.5 to 5 times their rated
current. Note this does not apply to universal motors which are widely used
in power tools.
Check the motor nameplate for motor type and horsepower, then refer to the table below for starting current requirements. See Specifications table, lower left. The REDI-LINE Surge Output Current capability varies with each model. The AC motor starting current should not exceed the Surge Output Current specified.
Note that 350 watt and 36 VDC units are also available. Contact your distributor.
Provide rotary DC to AC motor generator power inverter with a continuous rated output of ______ (350, 500, 800, 1600) watts by converting ______ (12, 24, 36)VDC to AC. Unit must be able to operate without the vehicle's engine running. Output waveform is to be a true Sine-Wave for full reactive, resistive and/or inductive load compatibility. The rotary inverter shall be auto start/stop with a 25 milliamp maximum standby (sleep) current drain from the battery. Pacific Scientific REDI-LINE Electric Generator model ______ or equal.
