Aims Power 2000 Watt Pure Sine Rackmount Inverter - PRM2000W48120S

Aims Power 2000 Watt Pure Sine Rackmount Inverter - PRM2000W48120S

This 2U rackmount inverter is ideal for providing backup power to your essential equipment such as: telecom, audio/visual and computers. It will generate 2000W of high quality pure sine power at a stable 120Vac output. Power is maintained to your equipment seamlessly through a built in 20 Amp transfer switch with a typical transfer time of less than 20msec. The transfer switch will by-pass city/utility power when it is available, and when city/utility power is lost the inverter will automatically switch to the backup DC power source. In backup mode the inverter will supply power as long as the DC power supply provides enough voltage. Remote monitoring of the inverter is available through an RS232 communication port which affords the user with real-time monitoring of the DC input voltage, AC output voltage, Frequency, and Amps. This inverter is not a -48VDC. To work with -48 Telecom systems, the inverter must be connected directly to the battery bank or positive 48 VDC system. The inverter must bypass the power supply.

Maintenance Tips    

• Install in a ventilated rack cabinet with consistent airflow—this unit relies on forced cooling for continuous 2kW loads.
• Keep front/rear fans and vents dust-free; clogged airflow is the #1 cause of overheating shutdowns.
• Regularly inspect 48V DC bus connections and rack terminals for tightness and heat discoloration (high current system).
• Ensure proper grounding and polarity integrity—especially important in -48V telecom-style battery systems.
• Use correctly rated DC breakers/fusing near the battery bank for fault protection.
• Monitor system via RS232/LCD data (voltage, load, temp, alarms) to catch early issues before failure.
• Avoid sustained operation near full load; keep 20–30% headroom for longer component life.
• Check transfer switch operation (~16–20 ms) periodically to ensure reliable backup switching.
• Re-torque AC/DC connections during scheduled maintenance to prevent thermal loosening.
