Description

Tripp Lite's APSX1250F DC-to-AC inverter with faster automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated charging system serves as an extended-run

UPS, a stand-alone power source or an automotive inverter. Supplies up to 1250W of continuous 230V AC power to 2 AC outlets from any 12V

battery or automotive DC source. OverPower™ inverter output feature temporarily provides up to 150% of the continuous output for up to 1-60

minutes and DoubleBoost™ inverter output feature delivers up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds, providing the extra power

needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and motorized equipment. When AC cable is connected to a live wall socket, commercial power passes

through to connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via a 3-stage selectable 7.5/30A charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system

responds to blackouts and voltage fluctuations with near-instantaneous automatic transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of

high-current DC input terminals for simple installation (user supplies batteries and cabling—see owner's manual for recommendations). Passes sine

wave utility or generator power during battery charging and UPS line power operation, and efficient PWM sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS

backup modes. Reliable large transformer design with frequency control powers resistive electronic loads or large inductive motors, compressors and

other items with high current needs on startup. Optional APSRM4 wired remote power switch with full status LEDs provides remote power inverter

on/off switching and continuous status information (APSRM4 sold separately). Provides unlimited runtime with connection of any number of

user-supplied batteries. 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.

Applications

Versatile inverter/charger system with auto-transfer switching serves as an automotive inverter for RVs, over-the-road trucking, conversion

vans and fleet service vehicles; a standalone alternative power source for off-grid alternative energy or export applications, and as an

uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for items compatible with a 10-millisecond transfer time.
