AC Input/Output Connection
To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger model. When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at

Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to twice their nameplate rated wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power needed to cold start
Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to 150% of their
*For best results, utilize for as short a duration as possible, ensure that battery bank and cabling are able to provide full nominal DC voltage under load, and allow the inverter/charger to cool completely before and after utilization.
Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility supply before attempting hardwiring.
Remove the screws and cover plate over the hardwire terminal strip. Remove the knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and to your equipment. Attach 13 mm (0.5 inch) diameter conduits

AC Output
•Connect the outgoing hot wire to the output hot terminal 5 .
•Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the output neutral terminal 6 .
Replace cover plate and tighten screws.
*If the incoming conduit only contains two wires (hot and neutral), the incoming conduit must be bonded to the main ground lug on the unit. In any case, the incoming conduit must be
bonded to earth ground, and the incoming conduit must be bonded to the outgoing conduit.
The inverter/charger is designed to provide
Minimum Recommended AC Generator VA Rating
AC Input Current Sharing | APSX3024SW | APSX6048VR |
Most Limiting | 3750VA | 7500VA |
Less Limiting | 4900VA | N/A |
Least Limiting | 6000VA | N/A |
No Limiting | 7200VA | N/A |
Note: If the applied AC load is significantly less than that of the Inverter/Charger’s AC output rating, a smaller size generator may be used by setting the battery charger DIP Switch to the low DC current setting. The minimum recommended VA rating for the AC generator would then be theVA needed for the Charger (1100VA forAPSX3024SW or 2000 VA for APSX6048VR) plus the VA required for the load.
