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 start-up (“peak” wattage) than required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refrigerators and pumps, start and stop intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak” wattage at multiple, unpredictable times during operation.

• DoubleBoost™ Feature

• OverPower™ Feature

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 heavy-duty tools and equipment.

The Tripp Lite APSX6048VR Inverter/Charger delivers up to 150% of its nameplate-rated wattage for up to 60 seconds under ideal battery and temperature conditions*, providing reserve power to support tools and equipment.

*For best results, utilize OverPower 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 OverPower 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 1.28 cm diameter conduits (user-supplied) to the knockouts and thread wires through. Connect the conduits to each other with the ground bond connection supplied.

In any case, the incoming conduit must be bonded to earth or vehicle ground, and the incoming conduit must be bonded to the outgoing conduit.

Service

If you are returning your Inverter/Charger to Tripp Lite, please pack it carefully, using the ORIGINAL PACKING MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of the problem. If the Inverter/Charger is within the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. To obtain service you must obtain a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number from Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center.

Maintenance

Your Inverter/Charger requires no maintenance and contains no user-serviceable or replaceable parts, but should be kept dry at all times. Periodically check, clean and tighten all cable connections as necessary, both at the unit and at the battery.

APSX6048VR specifications

The Tripp Lite APSX6048VR is a leading-edge power inverter designed to meet the diverse needs of users requiring reliable and efficient backup power solutions. With a robust AC output, this 6000-watt inverter provides the capability to power multiple devices and systems simultaneously, making it ideal for both residential and commercial use. Its high power capacity allows it to handle heavy loads, making it suitable for essential appliances, tools, and equipment.

One of the standout features of the APSX6048VR is its advanced pure sine wave output. Unlike modified sine wave inverters, pure sine wave inverters deliver a smooth and consistent power supply that is compatible with sensitive electronics. This ensures safe and efficient operation for devices such as computers, medical equipment, and audio/visual systems, preventing damage and prolonging their lifespan.

The inverter also includes an impressive voltage output range of 48V, which optimizes performance and maximizes efficiency. This makes it an excellent choice for solar and battery backup systems, allowing for seamless integration with renewable energy setups. The APSX6048VR supports various charging input sources, making it versatile for different installations, whether on-grid or off-grid.

Another notable characteristic of this inverter is its built-in automatic transfer switch (ATS). This feature ensures a quick transition from mains power to inverter power in the event of a power failure, providing uninterrupted power to critical loads. Additionally, the Tripp Lite APSX6048VR features multiple safety mechanisms, including over-voltage protection, under-voltage protection, and short-circuit protection, guaranteeing safe operation under varying conditions.

The inverter is designed for easy installation and user-friendly operation. It comes equipped with an LCD display that provides vital system information such as input/output voltage, load capacity, and battery status. This real-time feedback allows users to monitor their power usage effectively.

With durable construction and a compact design, the Tripp Lite APSX6048VR is both portable and durable, making it a reliable choice for temporary setups or permanent installations. It’s an ideal power solution for anyone seeking a reliable inverter that combines high performance with advanced technology, ensuring that devices remain powered in any situation.
