Overview
The DC-to-AC inverter 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. It delivers 3600W of continuous power, 5400W up to one hour or 7200W of peak power up to 10 seconds during equipment startup or cycling. An automatic overload detector, cooling fan and resettable AC circuit breakers protect the unit from damage.
Designed for easy installation in RVs, commercial and fleet vehicles, emergency vehicles and construction equipment, the APSINT3636VR converts stored power from any 36V battery or automotive DC source to safe, stable, computer-grade AC power for unlimited runtime. When hardwired to an external 230V AC source, the unit keeps the user-supplied battery charged via a three-stage 7.5/30A selectable charging system while simultaneously delivering AC power to connected equipment.
When used as a UPS, the APSINT3636VR’s automatic voltage regulation feature protects your equipment against blackouts, brownouts, surges and line noise. Tripp Lite’s APSRM4 module with “traffic light” LEDs is included to provide complete remote monitoring and control of the unit.

Specifications
OVERVIEW
UPC Code | 037332095985 |
INPUT
Nominal Input Voltage(s) Supported | 230V AC |
Recommended Electrical Service | DC INPUT: Requires 36VDC input source capable of delivering 114A for the required duration (when used at full continuous capacity - DC requirements increase during OverPower and DoubleBoost operation). For automotive applications, professional hardwire installation with 300A minimum battery system fusing is recommended. |
Maximum Input Amps / Watts | DC INPUT: Full continuous load - 114A at 36VDC. AC INPUT: 26 amps at 230VAC with full inverter and charger load (10.4A max charger-only / combined input load to support charger and AC output is automatically controllable to 66%-33%-0% based on AC output loading using the charger limiting set points - see manual for setting instructions) |
Input Connection Type | DC INPUT: Set of DC bolt-down terminals. AC INPUT: Hardwire via built in junction box with cover plate |
Voltage Compatibility (VAC) | 230 |
Voltage Compatibility (VDC) | 36 |
OUTPUT
Frequency Compatibility | 50 Hz |
Pure Sine Wave Output | No |
Output (Watts) | 3600 |
Nominal Output Voltage(s) Supported | 230V |
Output Receptacles | Hardwire |
Continuous Output Capacity (Watts) | 3600 |
Peak Output Capacity (Watts) | 7200 |
Output Voltage Regulation | LINE POWER (AC): Maintains 230V nominal sine wave output from line power source. INVERTER POWER (AC): Maintains PWM sine wave output voltage of 230 VAC (+/-5%). |
Output Frequency Regulation | 50 Hz (+/- 0.3 Hz) |
Overload Protection | Includes 12A input breaker dedicated to the charging system and 20A output breaker for AC output loads. |
BATTERY
Expandable Battery Runtime | Runtime is expandable with any number of user supplied wet or gel type batteries |
Expandable Runtime | Yes |
DC System Voltage (VDC) | 36 |
Battery Pack Accessory (Optional) | 98-121 sealed lead acid battery (optional) |

VOLTAGE REGULATION
Voltage Regulation Description | Includes automatic voltage regulation to correct brownouts and over-voltages back to usable levels |
Overvoltage Correction | Over-voltages are automatically reduced by 10% |
Brownout Correction | Brownouts are automatically boosted by 10% |
USER INTERFACE, ALERTS & CONTROLS
Front Panel LEDs | Set of 6 LEDs offer continuous status information on load percentage (6 levels reported) and battery charge level (7 levels reported). See manual for sequences. |
Switches | 3 position on/off/remote switch enables simple on/off power control plus "auto/remote" setting that enables distant on/off control of the inverter system when used in conjunction with optional APSRM4 accessory when used in inverter mode. In AC uninterruptible power mode, "auto/remote" setting enables automatic transfer from line power to battery power - to maintain continuous AC power to connected loads. |
PHYSICAL
