Overview
Utilize your vehicle's battery to efficiently power office equipment on the road or power tools at a work site. Continuously supplies up to 3000 watts of 120V AC power to 4 AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. Includes a PV remote and 25 feet of cable. Compact, lightweight metal case design is among the smallest, most rugged inverters available at this power level.
NOTE: To protect against high current draw that may occur during inverter failure, two fuse links rated at 250a each should be positioned no more than 18" from the PV3000HF's battery in each positive line.

| Input Connection Type | DC INPUT: Set of 4 DC bolt-down terminals (2 red / 2 black). AC INPUT: hardwire |
| Input Cord Length Details | User supplies cabling. Minimum gauges for full load operation: 0 (10 ft max), 00 or 2/0 (13 ft max), Twin 00 using 4 conductors (26 ft) |
| Voltage Compatibility (VDC) | 12 |
BATTERY
| DC System Voltage (VDC) | 12 |
USER INTERFACE, ALERTS & CONTROLS
| Front Panel LEDs | Set of 6 LEDs offer continuous status information on load percentage (5 levels reported) and battery charge level (7 levels reported). See manual for sequences. |
| Switches | 3 position rocker switch enables on/off power control, plus "remote" setting which enables inverter to be remotely powered on or off when used in conjunction with included module. |
| Audible Alarm | Dual function alarm indicates overload conditions or low DC input voltage of 10.5V or less. |
PHYSICAL
| Cooling Method | Fan |
| Form Factors Supported | Mounting slots enable permanent placement of inverter on any horizontal surface (see manual for additional mounting information) |

Frequently Asked Questions
FC-series inverters are able to support an overpower situation for an hour, so they are better suited for industrial or heavy-duty devices. HF-series inverters are not capable of supporting overpower situations for more than 500 milliseconds.
APS series inverters can accept and pass AC input power. They also have a built in battery charger circuit.
Yes, we offer Pure Sine Wave Inverters. Visit our Inverters product category and filter for Pure Sine Wave Output. A pure sine wave inverter produces a smooth, sinusoidal AC output with a low level of distortion for better performance. A PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) Wave inverter produces a multi-step AC output that approximates a sinusoidal AC output with a higher level of distortion.
APS-series inverters include a built-in battery charger. See our Inverter Buying Guide on tripplite.com for additional information and help with selection.
