PowerVerter? APS 2400W Inverter/Charger with
Auto-Transfer Switching and UL Certification
MODEL NUMBER: APS2448UL
Description
Tripp Lite's APS2448UL 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 2400 watts of
continuous 120V AC power from any 48V DC bus or battery source. Floating 48VDC ground offers compatibility
with positive or negative grounded DC systems, including 48V telco applications. 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 hardwire AC input is energized,
commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, 15 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 start-up. Optional APSRM4 wired remote power switch with full status LEDs provides remote power
inverter on/off switching and continuous status information (APSRM4 sold separate). Supports an unlimited
amount of run-time 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.
