The TCI-500 is a practical option for buyers who need more capacity than a small 350 W inverter but still want a compact backup unit. It is a 500 W modified sine wave inverter with several DC input and AC output configurations. For a distributor or installer, the most important part of the selection is confirming the battery voltage and output version before the unit is quoted.
What the TCI-500 offers
The listed TCI-500 configuration provides 500 W rated modified sine wave output. Depending on the ordered version, the DC input can be 12 V, 24 V, 48 V, 60 V or 72 V, while AC output options include 110 V, 120 V, 220 V, 230 V and 240 V. The frequency is available as 50 Hz or 60 Hz according to the required configuration.
This range makes the model suitable for compact battery backup packages, mobile power equipment and selected off-grid loads. It is still a modified sine wave inverter, so the connected equipment should be checked before an order. Motors, transformers, audio equipment and sensitive control systems may require pure sine wave output or additional compatibility confirmation.
Start with the battery bank
When comparing inverter offers, battery voltage should be confirmed before output wattage. A 12 V model, a 24 V model and a 48 V model require different battery banks, cables, fusing and installation practices. A quotation should clearly state:
- the nominal DC battery voltage and the selected TCI-500 version;
- the AC output voltage, socket standard and 50 Hz or 60 Hz frequency;
- the continuous load, startup demand and expected daily operating time;
- the destination market and any cable, plug or protection requirements.
Use the 500 W rating with headroom
The 500 W rating is a useful reference for system planning, but the load should not be designed right at the limit. Leave room for startup current, battery voltage drop and wiring losses. For a small backup package, add the running wattage of the lamps, routers, displays or other equipment and separately check the startup demand of inductive loads.
The listed enclosure is approximately 190 x 112 x 55 mm with a net weight of about 0.55 kg. A color LCD helps users view operating information, while the product information lists under-voltage, over-voltage, overload, short-circuit and over-temperature protection. These features support routine operation, but they do not replace correct sizing and ventilation.
Useful for B2B product planning
The multi-voltage product family can help a wholesaler serve different battery markets with a related enclosure and specification structure. Keep each DC version separated in the product list and confirm the AC configuration on the purchase order. This reduces confusion when the same 500 W platform is prepared for different countries.
See the TCI-500 product page for the model reference. For a quotation, send GERIXI the battery voltage and load list so the configuration can be checked before shipment.
