Its advanced auto-transfer switching ensures a seamless handoff between charging and on-battery operation, so lights stay on, electronics stay protected, and equipment continues to run without interruption. Built for hardwired installation, rugged environments, and long-term use, this APS X Series model delivers the performance, safety, and compatibility professionals rely on.

• Pure Sine-Wave 230V Output: Delivers clean, stable power that mimics the utility waveform, protecting sensitive electronics, computers, medical devices, and motor loads from harmonic distortion and voltage fluctuations. This level of fidelity reduces noise, extends device life, and improves overall system reliability in both home backup and commercial settings.
• High Power with Surge Capability: 3000 watts of continuous output support demanding appliances and multi-device loads, with up to 6000 watts of peak power to comfortably handle startup surges from refrigerators, pumps, air conditioners, and other high-inrush equipment. This generous headroom helps prevent nuisance tripping and ensures smooth operation during peak demand periods.
• Versatile Inverter/Charger Functionality: Converts 24V DC from a battery bank into 230V AC and also serves as a charger when connected to an AC source, enabling automatic battery recharging while supplying loads. This dual-role design simplifies system architecture and supports reliable long-duration backup power without frequent battery depletion.
• Auto-Transfer Switching: Seamlessly transfers between AC input to battery power and vice versa, minimizing voltage interruption to critical loads. This feature is essential for keeping equipment online during outages and ensures a smooth, uninterrupted power experience for sensitive devices and systems.
• Hardwired Installation: Built for secure, permanent installation in homes, light commercial applications, fleets, RVs, boats, and off-grid setups. The hardwired approach provides robust protection, neat integration with electrical panels, and compatibility with professional wiring standards for safety and reliability.

how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 3000W APS X Series 24VDC 230V Inverter/Charger with Pure Sine-Wave Output, Hardwired

• Plan the installation location with ample ventilation, away from moisture and heat sources. Ensure there is clear access to the DC battery terminals and the 230V AC output connections, as well as space for cable management and servicing.
• Power down all connected equipment and isolate the battery bank before wiring. Verify that the system is de-energized and that you have the correct safety gear and tools for electrical work.
• Connect the 24V DC battery positive and negative leads to the unit’s DC input terminals according to the manufacturer’s labeling. Use appropriately rated cables and secure connections with correct torque values to prevent loosening and heat buildup.
• Route the 230V AC output to the intended distribution path or directly to protected loads via a suitably rated panel. Follow local electrical codes for wiring methods, enclosure sizing, and circuit protection, and install any required fuses or breakers per the installation guide.
• If the system is configured to charge from AC when available, connect an AC input source (utility power, generator, or approved AC supply) to the inverter/charger’s input terminal. Ensure that input power matches the device’s specifications and that wiring is performed by a qualified electrician if required by code.
• Secure the inverter/charger to its mounting surface, reinstall any covers, and verify that vents or fans have unobstructed airflow. Check for proper clearance to prevent overheating during operation.
• Power on the unit and perform a controlled test. Verify that the inverter delivers 230V AC under load, and simulate an outage to confirm automatic transfer to battery power without significant interruption to the connected loads.
• Document system wiring, label circuits, and maintain a spare battery and fuses that match the unit’s specifications. Create a simple maintenance schedule to inspect connections, ventilation, and battery health periodically.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What power does this inverter deliver? A: It provides 3000 watts of continuous power with up to 6000 watts of peak power to cover startup surges and short-term overloads, making it suitable for a wide range of appliances and equipment.
