PowerVerter APS Inverter/Charger - Reliable Power
Source for Uninterruptible Emergency Backup
Applications
MODEL NUMBER: APS1012
Description
Tripp Lite's APS1012 3-function DC-to-AC inverter with auto 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
1000 watts of continuous 120V AC power to 2 AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source.
PowerVerter APS Inverter chargers accommodate peak surge demands by delivering more output power than
their continuous rating. PowerVerter APS Inverters supply up to double their output to easily handle equipment
start up and motor cycling requirements. A DoubleBoost feature provides up to 200% of the continuous output for
up to 10 seconds, providing the extra power needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and equipment. An
OverPower feature delivers up to 150% of the continuous output for up to 1 hour. 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, 14/55 amp selectable charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and
brownouts with an uninterrupted transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of high current DC input
terminals for simple installation (user supplies batteries and cabling). Reliable large transformer design with
efficient PWM sine wave output and frequency control powers resistive electronic loads or large inductive
motors, compressors and other items with high current needs on startup. 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.
