Ac Input/Output Connection; Service/Maintenance - Tripp Lite APS Series Owner's Manual

AC Input/Output Connection

To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, 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 (see Nameplate). 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.
OverPower™ Feature
Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to 150% of their nameplate-rated wattage for 1-60 minutes under ideal battery and temperature
conditions, providing ample reserve power to support tools and equipment.*
* For best results, utilize OverPower for as short a duration as possible, ensure that battery bank and cabling are able to provide full nominal DC voltage
under load, and allow the inverter/charger to cool completely before and after OverPower utilization.
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.*
* Actual duration depends on model, battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.
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. Use wire type THHN or
equivalent with minimum temperature rating of 90°C.
Hardwire Connection
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 ½" diameter conduits (user-supplied) to the knockouts and thread wires through. Connect the conduits to
each other with the ground bond connection supplied.
Ground*
• Connect the incoming and outgoing ground wires to the ground (green) terminals
AC Input
• Connect the incoming hot wire to the input hot (brown) terminal
• Connect the incoming neutral wire to the input neutral (blue) terminal
AC Output
• Connect the outgoing hot wire to the output hot (black) terminal
• Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the output neutral (white) terminal
• 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 conduit must be
bonded to the outgoing conduit.
