Description
The APSINT3636VR 3600W APS INT Series 36V DC 230V AC Inverter/Charger is a reliable power
source for a wide variety of equipment ranging from power tools, pumps and portable lighting to laptop
computers and sensitive monitoring equipment. With no fumes, fuel or excess noise, it’s an excellent
alternative to generator power.
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.

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)
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.
Input Connection Type
DC INPUT: Set of DC bolt-down terminals. AC INPUT: Hardwire via built in junction box with cover plate
