Tripp Lite Power Inverter/Charger w/Auto Transfer Switching, 1250W, 12VDC 120V, 5-15R

Utility closets and back rooms do not always have clean access to utility lines when work starts. We built this inverter charger with automatic transfer switching to flip between wall current and battery banks without manual intervention. The unit feeds several standard plugs from a single central chassis.

What it does

How this one is built

Polycarbonate shell

The outer black case uses a dense polycarbonate blend that resists accidental impacts and damp air. It holds up well when mounted on a utility backboard or tucked low in an equipment space.

Automatic transfer switch

Internal switching senses when AC utility lines drop and shifts connected gear over to DC storage. Once line power returns, the unit routes current back to the primary source and recharges the bank.

High peak capacity

Starting up inductive loads or heavy shop tools creates an initial current draw that exceeds standard running levels. The circuitry tolerates high momentary surges so hardware can spin up without tripping breakers.

Direct AC distribution

Several integrated outlets sit on the housing to distribute regular alternating current directly to hardware. Power feeds out to tools, networking gear, or service equipment without stringing extra tap boxes across the floor.

On the nameplate

These are the figures our retail partner lists 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.
