Tripp Lite APS700HF PowerVerter APS Inverter

Tripp Lite's APS700HF Ultra-Compact DC-to-AC inverter with 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 700 watts of continuous 120V AC power to 1 AC outlet from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. OverPower inverter output feature provides up to 120% of the continuous output for up to 5 seconds, and DoubleBoost inverter output feature delivers up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 2 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, 6-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 mode, plus efficient PWM sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes. Supports an unlimited amount of runtime with any number of user-supplied batteries connected.

* APS700HF serves as an automotive or stationary DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated battery charger
* Supports 120V AC output from a 120V AC line power source or 12V DC battery source
* 16.6 millisecond automatic transfer switching between line and battery power supports UPS protection during blackouts and voltage fluctuations for equipment compatible with a one cycle transfer time
* 700 watts continuous AC output in inverter mode, 840 watts continuous AC output in AC mode
* Double Boost inverter output supports momentary startup loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for durations up to 10 seconds
* OverPower inverter output supports longer duration overloads to 150% for up to 15 seconds in duration under ideal battery and temperature conditions. (For best results, utilize OverPower usage for as short of a duration as possible, ensure battery bank and cabling is able to provide full nominal DC voltage under load and allow inverter/charger to fully cool before and after OverPower usage.)
* 3 stage, 6 amp battery charger with adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types offers fast, reliable battery recharging
* Protected hardwire bolt-down input lugs safely accept heavy gauge input wiring from attached battery bank
* NEMA 5-15R output receptacle passes 120V line power or inverter output through to connected equipment
* Ultra-compact, lightweight aluminum housing with secure mounting flanges weighs only 4 lbs./1.8 kg
* Moisture-resistant construction enables vehicular or marine operation in high humidity environments
* 3 position operating mode switch supports "AUTO" mode to enable automatic transfer between DC and AC modes, CHARGE-ONLY to maintain a full battery charge when AC is present without auto transfer and SYSTEM OFF settings.
* Set of six front panel LEDs display AC/DC operational modes, overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown status and system fault status
* Adjustable brownout response enables user configuration of automatic transfer to battery mode from 85 to 105V AC
* Resettable 7A output circuit breaker and cooling fan protect the inverter from load and temperature related failures
* Grounding lug properly connects the inverter/charger system to earth ground or vehicle grounding system
* Automatic overload and thermal shutoff safely turns off inverter as excessive loads or overheating conditions develop

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 16.6 millisecond transfer time.
