Product Description:
The DA12L-1600A is a portable generator produced by Pacific Scientific for the Redi-Line Electric Generators series. Designed for automation environments that rely on DC sources, the unit converts battery energy into alternating current to keep sensors, actuators, and service equipment powered where utility lines are unavailable. Its compact frame and vehicle-mount capability make it suitable for mobile maintenance rigs, remote conveyors, and emergency backup panels on factory floors.
The generator delivers a continuous output of 1600 W, meaning it can supply that real power indefinitely without exceeding thermal limits. At that rating, the line current available at the receptacle is 14.5 A, enough for small induction motors, heaters, or control cabinets. The AC terminals provide 120 VAC single-phase power, so standard North American tools and instruments can connect without transformers. The frequency is fixed at 65 Hz; equipment with universal power supplies can tolerate this slight deviation from utility frequency while permitting a more favorable speed for the internal alternator. On the DC side, the machine draws from a 12 VDC source, with optimal regulation reached when the battery is near its nominal charge of 12.6 VDC.
For short starting loads, the alternator supplies up to 22 A and a surge output of 2400 W for a few seconds, allowing compressors or tool motors to accelerate without voltage sag. The stator housing measures 7.38 inches in diameter, stands 9.13 inches high, and extends 16.75 inches in length, so it fits behind vehicle seats or inside machine frames. The unit weighs 53 pounds, making it manageable for installation while providing enough mass to help damp vibration. It produces a pure sine wave, which minimizes harmonic heating in transformers and maintains accurate readings from analog sensors.
