Tripp Lite Power Inverter/Charger, Auto Transfer Switching, 2000W, 12VDC, 120V, Hardwired

Utility closets sometimes need dedicated AC power pulled straight from an external battery bank. We build this hardwired inverter and charger to bridge that gap, stepping in automatically when the utility feed drops. It mounts in place and feeds equipment through permanent wiring rather than standard wall plugs.

What it does

How this one is built

Hardwired terminal block

The AC input and output run through hardwired terminals instead of standard corded plugs. That makes for clean, permanent conduit runs inside a back room where loose cords would only get in the way.

Automatic transfer switch

An internal transfer switch detects when AC utility power drops and switches connected loads over to your DC battery reserve. When utility service returns, it passes line power through and recharges the bank.

Polycarbonate outer shell

The housing is built from heavy polycarbonate that resists moisture and physical wear. It handles the damp air and temperature shifts common to equipment sheds, basements and crowded telecommunications closets without corroding over time.

Extended peak output

Starting up heavy loads often demands an initial burst of power beyond normal running levels. The internal circuitry supplies extra headroom on demand to help motors and power supplies spin up smoothly.

On the nameplate

These are the figures published for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
