Online DC-AC Inverters

Continuous inverter-fed output from a station or telecom DC bus — 0 ms transfer, full isolation and no noise fed back into the DC system.

Online DC-AC inverters are the standard choice whenever the protected load is fed from a station battery or telecom DC bus and cannot tolerate a break. Full double conversion keeps the load on the inverter continuously: input disturbances never reach the output, transfer time is zero, and galvanic isolation keeps switching noise out of the DC system.

Compare the five platforms

Platform Capacity DC input Defining feature Best for
H 1-3kVA 1-3 kVA 24 / 48 / 110 / 220 / 240 VDC Compact rack online inverter, multiple DC bus options Substations, base stations, HVDC & server rooms
H 6-20k 6-20 kVA 160-300 VDC wide External input/output isolation transformers, high surge withstand Utility DC panels, HVDC rooms
HM 3-15kVA 3-15 kVA 48 VDC Modular 3 kVA blocks, up to 5 in parallel (4+1) Telecom rooms needing scalable redundancy
HP 6k 6 kVA 24 / 48 VDC CPU/PWM control with LCD, rack or portable case Telecom cabinets and field deployments
HT 1-20k 1-20 kVA Station DC panel Power-frequency double conversion with built-in isolation transformer Power plants, substations, RTU/SCADA

Choosing between them

Start from the DC bus voltage — it is the parameter that cannot be changed later. Then size the inverter from the load's kVA and kW, its inrush behaviour and the required autonomy. Choose H 1-3kVA for compact 1-3kVA cabinets with a defined DC bus, H 6-20k where a wide 160-300VDC window and external transformers are specified, HM where capacity must grow module by module, HP for CPU-controlled rack or portable installations, and HT where a transformer-isolated power-frequency design is mandated by the utility.

Where a brief 8-10 ms transfer is acceptable and efficiency matters more, the Standby & Offline Inverters sub-category offers a lower-cost alternative. For the wider AC-input range see UPS Power Supply, and for PV-fed systems see Solar Inverters.

Online DC-AC Inverters — frequently asked questions

What makes an online DC-AC inverter different from a standby one?
An online unit feeds the load from its inverter at all times, so a DC or mains disturbance produces a 0 ms transfer and the output waveform never changes. A standby unit normally passes AC through and switches to the inverter only on failure, with a short 8-10 ms transfer but higher efficiency.
Which DC bus voltages are supported?
Across the range: 24 / 48VDC for telecom and base stations, 110 / 220VDC for power plants and substations, 240VDC for HVDC rooms, 12-72VDC on wide-input models, and a 160-300VDC wide window on the H 6-20k platform. The exact DC voltage is fixed per order.
Why is AC/DC isolation so important on these sites?
Station DC panels feed protection relays, RTUs and telecom equipment. Galvanic isolation prevents AC-side faults and inverter switching noise from reaching the DC bus, and eliminates back-feed that can trigger DC insulation alarms.
Can these inverters run in parallel?
Yes. The HM 3-15kVA platform is built from 3kVA modules with up to five in parallel (4+1 redundancy); the H and HT platforms support parallel configurations confirmed by our engineers against the load profile.
Do you supply batteries and monitoring?
Yes. VRLA strings and LiFePO4 packs are sized to the required autonomy, and RS485 / SNMP / Modbus options are available for site monitoring. See Storage Batteries and Accessories & BMS.
