1.Overview and Features

1.1Overview

Tripp Lite’s Sine Wave Inverter-Charger is a heavy-duty unit generating a pure sine wave from a 12V battery bank. It can supply power to a wide range of connected equipment, from heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners to computers and peripheral devices. It is designed to work in heavy load conditions, so de-rating is unnecessary.

The smart charger is compatible with various battery types and sizes. The switch module automatically diverts the energy transfer path between the inverter and an AC input. When the AC source is lower than the transfer level, the path switches to the inverter. Otherwise, the load is powered by the AC input.
