Tripp Lite’s APSINT2012 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 2000 watts of continuous 230V AC power from a 12V battery set or automotive DC source. When hardwire input AC cable is energized, commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, 60 amp selectable 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 .
| SYSTEM OVERVIEW | |
| System overview | Reliable 12VDC to 230VAC power inverter system serves as an automotive inverter, a battery charger and an uninterruptible power supply. Extended runtime capable with any number of user supplied batteries. 2000 watts continuous / 4000 watts peak. Requires hardwire input & output connection. |
| Voltage compatibility | 12VDC / 230VAC |
| Frequency compatibility | 60 Hz |
| OUTPUT | |
| Output watt capacity (watts) | Continuous - 2000 watts, Overpower (up to 1 hour) - 3000 watts, Double-Boost wattage (up to 10 seconds) - 4000 watts |
| Output nominal voltage | AC OUTPUT 230VAC nominal, DC CHARGER OUTPUT (DC) 12VDC nominal |
| Output voltage regulation | LINE POWER (AC) Maintains 230V nominal sine wave output. INVERTER POWER (AC) Maintains PWM sine wave output voltage of 230 VAC (+/-5%). DC CHARGER OUTPUT (See battery recharge rate section) |
| Output frequency regulation | 50 Hz (+/- 0.3 Hz) |
| Outlet quantity / type | Hardwire AC output |
| Overload protection | Includes 10A input breaker dedicated to the charging system and 15A output breaker for AC output loads |
| INPUT | |
| Maximum input amps / watts | DC INPUT Full continuous load - 192A at 12VDC. AC INPUT 38 amps at 230VAC with full inverter and charger load |
| Input connection type | DC INPUT Set of 2 DC bolt-down terminals. AC INPUT Hardwire via built in junction box with cover plate |
| Input cord length | DC INPUT User supplies cabling. 4 gauge or larger recommended. AC INPUT user supplies hardwire input cabling |
| Recommended electrical service | DC INPUT Requires 12VDC input source capable of delivering 192A for the required duration (when used at full continuous capacity). For automotive applications, professional hardwire installation with 400A minimum battery system fusing is recommended. |
| BATTERY | |
| DC system voltage | DC input operating range 10-15VDC. |
| Battery recharge rate | Includes 60 amp DC charging system with selectable profiles for vented wet cell and sealed gel cell batteries. |
| Expandable battery runtime | Runtime is expandable with any number of user supplied wet or gel type batteries |
| LEDS ALARMS & SWITCHES | |
| Front panel LEDs | Set of 6 LEDs offer continuous status information on load percentage (6 levels reported) and battery charge level (7 levels reported). See manual for sequences. |
| Switches | 3 position on/off/remote switch enables simple on/off power control plus "auto/remote" setting that enables distant on/off control of the inverter system when used in conjunction with optional APSPVREMOTE accessory when used in inverter mode. In AC uninterruptible power mode, "auto/remote" setting enables automatic transfer from line power to battery power - to maintain continuous AC power to connected loads. |
