FAQ
What is the continuous power output of the APS-750 inverter/charger?
The APS-750 provides 750 watts of continuous AC output power. This rating indicates the sustained load it can support under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for powering small to medium electronic devices like computers, monitors, or networking gear without interruption.
Can this unit operate from both AC and DC power sources?
Yes, the APS-750 accepts input from either a 12VDC source, such as a battery, or a 120VAC mains supply. This dual-input capability allows it to function as an inverter when drawing from DC or as a charger when connected to AC, providing versatile power management in backup systems.
How many devices can I connect to the APS-750 simultaneously?
The inverter/charger includes two NEMA 5-15R receptacles, allowing you to connect up to two standard North American plugs at once. The total connected load should not exceed the 750W continuous rating to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Does the APS-750 offer protection against power disturbances?
Yes, it protects connected equipment from blackouts, surges, and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) line noise. The auto-transfer switching feature also helps maintain power continuity by seamlessly switching between input sources during outages.
What type of waveform does this inverter produce?
The APS-750 generates a pulse-width modulated sine wave output. This waveform closely approximates a pure sine wave, providing stable and clean power that is compatible with sensitive electronics like computers, medical devices, and audio equipment, reducing the risk of damage or malfunction.
Is the APS-750 suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?
The unit features a rugged polycarbonate housing designed to resist moisture and impact, enhancing durability in demanding conditions.
