Description

Tripp Lite's APS512 3-function DC-to-AC inverter with auto line-to-battery transfer and integrated charging system serves as an extended run UPS,

a standalone power source or an automotive inverter. Supplies up to 500 watts of continuous 120V AC power to 2 AC outlets from any 12V battery or

automotive DC source. When AC cable is connected to a live wall socket, commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the

battery set is recharged via 3 stage, 18 amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and brownouts with an

uninterrupted transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of high current DC input terminals for simple installation (user supplies batteries

and cabling). Reliable large transformer design with efficient PWM sine wave output and frequency control powers resistive electronic loads or large

inductive motors, compressors and other items with high current needs on startup. Supports an unlimited amount of runtime with any number of

user-supplied batteries connected. Highly adaptable to a variety of applications and site conditions with adjustable charger settings for wet/gel

battery types and selectable line to battery power transfer voltages.

PowerVerter APS Inverters accommodate "peak surge" demands by delivering more output power than their continuous rating. Compare the

"Continuous" and "Peak Surge" wattage ratings, and you'll find PowerVerter Plus Inverters supply up to double their output to easily handle

equipment start up and motor cycling requirements. A DoubleBoost feature provides up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds,

providing the extra power needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and equipment. An OverPower feature delivers up to 150% of the continuous output

for up to 1 hour.

Applications

Extended Run UPS - Configure as a UPS for long-term battery support of telecom systems, security alarms, computer systems and various other motorized and electronic loads.

Standalone Power - Alternative power source for use in off-grid, backwoods, alternative energy and export applications where commercial power is not continuously available.

Automotive - Connect to an automotive electrical system to run power tools, computers, electronic test equipment, home entertainment and other AC appliances in fleet service vehicles, over-the-road trucks, campers, RVs, minivans and more.
