Description
Tripp Lite's APS1250F DC-to-AC inverter with faster automatic 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 1250 watts of continuous 120V 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 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 3 stage, 30 amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and voltage
fluctuations with a 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, plus 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). 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.
Applications
Versatile inverter/charger system with faster 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 8.33 millisecond (1/2 cycle) transfer time.
