Product Description:

The DA24L-1600A is a DC-to-AC generator module manufactured by Pacific Scientific for the Redi-Line Electric Generators series. It draws energy from a 24 V battery bus and delivers standard utility power so that instrumentation, test benches, or remote automation skids can run single-phase equipment where mains service is unavailable. By packaging the alternator, electronic regulator, and cooling passages in one enclosure, the device supplies clean power without extra transformers or wiring adapters.

The generator accepts a nominal input of 24 VDC and delivers a continuous output rating of 1600 W. At that load, the input draw averages 12.8 A, a current level that helps with sizing upstream cabling and breakers. The converter section regulates the terminals to 120 VAC with an output frequency fixed at 60 Hz, allowing direct connection of North American control hardware, lamps, or test instruments. The internally produced waveform is a pure sine wave, reducing harmonic heating in inductive motors and ensuring accurate readings on true-RMS meters. The housing measures 7.38 inches in diameter, 9.13 inches in height, and 15.13 inches in length, allowing it to fit inside small service compartments. It must be mounted with at least 2 inches of clearance so that fan-driven airflow can remove waste heat.

For momentary motor starts or inrush events, the unit can supply up to 2400 W while permitting a peak input surge of 20 A. Protection on the DC side is handled by an external fuse rated at 100 A, which opens before wiring damage occurs if the feed is shorted. The design accommodates battery float voltages up to 25.2 VDC without overvoltage alarms. It weighs 48 pounds, making it suitable for portable field cases while providing enough mass to help damp vibration. Its cylindrical shape and required clearances simplify installation in trucks, cabinets, or equipment frames where airflow follows a straight axial path.
