True Blue Power Introduces 2,000-watt, High-power Inverter
True Blue Power announced the company has added a 2000-watt inverter to its line of power solutions. The new TI2000 DC-to-AC Inverter provides wall outlet power to cabin and galley equipment, including personal electronic devices (PEDs), entertainment and gaming systems, microwave ovens, and coffee makers. It is ideal for VIP cabin configurations, special missions and emergency medical equipment.
The 2,000-watt inverter is smaller, more efficient and weighs only 7.7 pounds; it is 50% lighter than competing units. FAA TSO/EASA ETSO certified and RTCA DO-160G qualified, the TI2000 is manufactured in an AS9100C-certified facility and designed with input transient, overload and short-circuit protection up to 150% of the rated load.
The TI2000 will be on display at the True Blue Power Booth #C8518 throughout the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition October 10 – 12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV.
