Ac Input/Output Connection - Tripp Lite PowerVerter APSX Series Owner's Manual

AC Input/Output Connection

To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their
total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger model. When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do
not confuse "continuous" wattage with "peak" wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at start-up ("peak" wattage) than
required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refrigerators and pumps, start and stop
intermittently according to demand, requiring "peak" wattage at multiple, unpredictable times during operation.

• DoubleBoost Feature
Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to twice their nameplate
rated wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power
needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and equipment.
Connection for Models with Cords and Receptacles
With a user-supplied cable and country-specific plug, connect the Inverter/Charger's IEC-320 AC Input Receptacle to your utility wall out-
let. Connect your equipment directly to the Inverter/Charger's IEC-320 AC Output Receptacle(s). Select models also include a Universal
AC Output Adapter which allows you to connect equipment with a wide variety of plug styles.
Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes
and requirements for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility
supply before attempting hardwiring.
Connection for Models with Hardwire Terminals
Remove the screws and cover plate over the hardwire terminal box. Remove the knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and
to your equipment. Attach 1.28 cm diameter conduits (user-supplied) to the knockouts and thread wires through. Connect the conduits to
each other with the ground bond connection supplied.

Replace cover plate and tighten screws.* If the incoming conduit only contains two wires (hot
and neutral), the incoming conduit must be bonded to the main ground lug on the unit. In any
case, the incoming conduit must be bonded to earth or vehicle ground, and the incoming con-
duit must be bonded to the outgoing conduit.
