Works as an Inverter, Standalone AC Power Source or UPS

The APSINT3636VR features an automatic line-to-battery transfer switch and integrated charging system that allow it to work as a vehicle inverter, standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS. When the APSINT3636VR is connected to an AC power source, power is passed through to connected equipment and the battery set is charged via a 3-stage, 7.5/30-amp selectable charging system with adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types. In the event of a power failure or severe voltage fluctuation, the APSINT3636VR responds with a near-instantaneous (20 millisecond) automatic transfer to battery power. Any number of user-supplied batteries may be connected to the APSINT3636VR to provide unlimited extended battery backup support for critical equipment. A three-position switch enables you to select AUTO mode, CHARGE-ONLY mode or SYSTEM OFF mode.

Meets Normal and Peak Power Demands

When operating in inverter mode, the APSINT3636VR accommodates peak surge demands by providing up to 200% more output power than its continuous rating of 3600 watts. In OverPower™ mode, the APSINT3636VR can deliver 5400 watts for up to an hour, providing ample reserve power to keep tools and equipment running longer. In DoubleBoost™ mode, it can deliver 7200 watts for up to 10 seconds to support power-hungry equipment start-ups and motor cycling requirements.


Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

For applications where the mains power is exceptionally unreliable, the APSINT3636VR’s AVR protects your equipment from incremental hardware damage, data loss and performance problems caused by low-voltage conditions (known as brownouts) as well as overvoltages. The APSINT3636VR can correct brownouts and overvoltages back to useable levels without drawing on battery backup power.

Overload Protection

To prevent damage to the inverter and connected equipment, the APSINT3636VR shuts down automatically if an overload is detected at the AC output connection. The red Load Level Indicator LED will flash to alert you that an overload has occurred. Additional overload protection is provided by a 12-amp AC input circuit breaker, 20-amp AC output circuit breaker and built-in multi-speed cooling fan.

Front Panel LEDs

The APSINT3636VR features six front-panel diagnostic LEDs to indicate load level (high, medium and low), battery charge (high, medium and low), shutdown status and system fault status.

Heavy-Duty Construction

The APSINT3636VR features a rugged, moisture-resistant, polycarbonate housing that withstands vibration, impact and high-humidity environments—ideal for use at remote worksites, in trucks, RVs and other vehicles, on boats or anywhere reliable AC power is needed.


Optional Remote Control Capability

The APSINT3636VR is equipped with an RJ45 port for connection of an optional Remote Control LED/Switch Module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately), enabling you to control and monitor the inverter/charger from up to 15 meters (50 ft.) away.


One-Year Domestic/Two-Year International Product Warranty and Environmentally Responsible Design

The APSINT3636VR is backed by a one-year warranty (domestic) and two-year warranty for international purchases. This unit is manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS specifications, reflecting Tripp Lite’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
