Minimum Recommended Cable Sizing Charts
Use in conjunction with DC wiring connection instructions in the Battery Connection section.
† NOTE: Acceptable power is directly related to cable length (i.e. - the shorter the cable, the better the performance). Cable length is the sum of the positive cable length and the negative cable length.

Common Specifications for All Models
• Output Volts (Nominal):120 VAC, ± 5% • Output Frequency (Nominal):60 Hz, ± 0.5% • Efficiency:88% to 94%, depending on load and temperature
Select Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers include a Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Control which saves battery power by allowing users to set the minimum load level
at which the unit’s inverter turns on. Users can significantly reduce the No Load DC Input Current to a very low amp level with the use of this control.
