Overview
APC’s Power Inverter (Figure 1) is designed for years of trouble-free use. The Inverter is a sinewave back-up power supply intended to serve house loads. It is rated for 800 VA/500W at 230 Vac, 50-Hz, and operates on a wide range of input voltages (100 - 265V). If the input voltage goes out of range (less than 100V or more than 265V), the utility is isolated and the inverter supplies power to the load from the internal batteries. The Inverter can serve inductive loads (flourescent lamps, ceiling and table fans), resistive loads (incandescent lamps), and switched mode power supply (SMPS) loads (television). The typical backup time with the primary battery pack at full load is approximately two (2) hours. Backup time can be further extended by connecting the optional external battery pack in parallel to the existing battery pack.
Note: APC offers tubular, as well as flat-plate batteries for use with the Power Inverter.
For the purposes of this manual, only the tubular batteries are shown.
