terminals
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.
Applications
Versatile inverter/charger system with auto-transfer switching serves as an automotive inverter for RVs, conversion vans and fleet service
vehicles; a standalone alternative power source for off-grid, alternative energy or 48V networking applications and as an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) for items compatible with an 8 millisecond transfer time. NOTE: For sump pump applications, Tripp Lite recommends its
"UT" Utility Truck Inverter/Chargers.

Features
APS2448UL serves as an automotive or stationary DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated battery charger
Supports 120V AC output from a 120V AC line power source or 48V DC battery source
Floating 48VDC ground offers compatibility with positive or negative grounded DC systems, including 48V telco applications.
8 millisecond automatic transfer between line and battery power supports UPS protection during blackouts and voltage fluctuations for
nearly all computer and networking applications
2400 watts continuous AC output in inverter mode, 2400 watts continuous AC output in AC mode
Double Boost™ inverter output supports momentary start-up loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for up to 10 seconds
OverPower™ inverter output supports longer duration overloads to 150% for 1-60 minutes under ideal battery and temperature conditions.
(For best results, utilize OverPower usage for as short of a duration as possible, ensure battery bank and cabling is able to provide full
nominal DC voltage under load and allow inverter/charger to fully cool before and after OverPower usage.)
