2000W APS INT Series 12V DC to 230V AC Inverter/Charger with Auto Transfer Switching & Hardwired DIP Config

2000W APS INT Series 12VDC 230V Inverter/Charger with Auto Transfer Switching, Hardwired, DIP switches configure high and low voltage auto-transfer, 2000W continuous output power; 4000W peak power

Description

This is a robust hybrid power solution that combines a DC‑to‑AC inverter and a battery charger with automatic transfer switching — designed for applications where reliable AC power must be available from both a battery source and a utility/grid input.

At its core, it takes 12 V DC battery power (typically from a deep‑cycle battery bank, vehicle, or solar setup) and converts it to 230 V AC usable household power. When utility AC mains is present, it operates as a charger and feeds power — when utility power fails or falls outside preset limits, it automatically switches to inverter mode to maintain uninterrupted AC output.

Key Specs & Features

• Input: 12 V DC (battery or DC power source)
• AC Output: 230 V AC, 50 Hz
• Power Ratings:
  • 2000 W continuous output — can run typical heavy loads continuously
  • 3000 W reserve power (up to ~1 hour) for moderate overloads
  • 4000 W peak power (short bursts ~10 sec) for motor starts and surge loads
• Auto Transfer Switching (ATS): Built‑in transfer relay automatically switches from mains to inverter power (e.g., during a blackout) in ~20 ms — suitable for many UPS‑like applications
• Configurable Transfer Settings: DIP switches let you set the under/over‑voltage thresholds for auto‑transfer
• Battery Charging: Three‑stage selectable charger (15 A / 60 A) that charges battery when mains is present, with options for wet/gel battery profiles
• Protection:
  • Overload detector, cooling fan & resettable circuit breakers
  • Low‑battery cutoff and overcharge protection in charger mode
• Front Panel Indicators: LEDs show mode (AC/DC), battery level, overload/fault status
• Installation: Terminal/hardwired DC input and AC output designed for mounting in vehicles, RVs, or fixed sites
• Optional Accessory: Remote control (e.g., Tripp Lite APSRM4) can be connected via RJ45 port

📦 Typical Applications

Ideal for mobile and remote power setups, including:

• RVs, trucks, fleet vehicles
• Off‑grid or backup power systems
• Tools, lights, pumps, computers, and other heavy AC loads
• Extended UPS operation when grid power fails

🛠️ What This Means in Use

• With a 2000 W continuous budget, you can power many household appliances and power tools — but stay within this rating for reliable long‑term use.
• The 4000 W peak helps start motors and compressors that need extra surge at spin‑up.
• Auto transfer functionality makes it suitable as a simple UPS (switchover to battery when mains drops), but it’s not a full double‑conversion UPS.
• Hardwired installation means this isn’t a simple plug‑and‑play inverter — you’ll need proper wiring & DC power source capable of >190 A at full load.
