Description
Provide Pure Sine Wave power in your fleet vehicle, work truck or utility vehicle with the Tripp Lite APS2012SW. This inverter/charger supplies 2000
watts of continuous 120V AC power. The reliable large transformer design and frequency control powers resistive loads such as refrigerators,
motors, pumps, compressors and laser printers as well as electronic loads like TV’s, Computers, power tool and battery chargers. The 3-stage
charging system will properly charge and maintenance your vehicle battery or separate battery bank. The charge rate is selectable so you can use a
variety of battery sizes as well as multiple batteries to fit your run time requirements.
Applications
Versatile inverter/charger system with seamless transfer switching serves as an automotive inverter for 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 8-12 millisecond transfer time.

Electrical Service
DC INPUT: Requires 12VDC input source capable of delivering 250A for the required duration (when used at full
continuous capacity - DC requirements increase during OverPower and DoubleBoost operation). For automotive
applications, professional hardwire installation with 400A minimum battery system fusing is recommended.
Maximum input
amps / watts
DC INPUT: Full continuous load - 250A at 12VDC. AC INPUT: 27 amps at 120VAC with full inverter and charger load
(8.7A max charger-only / combined input load to support charger and AC output is automatically controllable to
66%-33%-0% based on AC output loading using the charger limiting set points - see manual for setting instructions)
