Eaton APS2012 – 2000W Inverter/Charger with Auto-Transfer

Product Overview

The Eaton APS2012 is a 2000W PowerVerter APS inverter/charger that converts 12VDC to 120VAC power for a wide range of equipment, from power tools and pumps to portable lighting and computer gear operating in heavy-load conditions. Its auto-transfer switch and integrated charging system let it function as a standalone power source, a vehicle inverter, or an extended-run UPS. With no fumes, fuel, or excess noise, it is a clean alternative to generator power for mobile, remote, and backup power applications.

Product Description

At 2000W, the APS2012 has enough continuous capacity to run demanding equipment loads that smaller inverters cannot handle, including corded power tools, sump and utility pumps, portable lighting rigs, and computer equipment used on job sites or in remote facilities. The integrated auto-transfer switch automatically shifts the connected load between utility/generator power and battery-based inverter power, which allows the unit to double as a UPS for critical equipment during outages. Its built-in battery charger recharges the connected 12VDC battery bank whenever AC input is present, keeping the system ready for the next outage or off-grid deployment without manual intervention. Because the inverter produces AC power without fuel, exhaust fumes, or generator noise, it is well suited to indoor use, enclosed equipment rooms, and noise-sensitive environments where a combustion generator would be impractical. Typical deployments include remote or mobile facilities, emergency response vehicles, construction and job site power, and backup power for computer or networking equipment in server rooms and network closets without reliable utility service. The combination of high wattage, automatic transfer, and integrated charging makes the APS2012 suitable as a primary power source in off-grid installations, not just an emergency backup. For facilities teams supporting temporary or mobile operations, this inverter/charger reduces reliance on fuel logistics and generator maintenance. Its heavy-load rating also makes it appropriate for supporting multiple simultaneous devices where lower-wattage inverters would be undersized.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can the APS2012 run?

The APS2012 delivers 2000W of continuous power, suitable for power tools, pumps, portable lighting, and computer or networking equipment operating in heavy-load conditions.

Does it automatically switch between AC and battery power?

Yes. The integrated auto-transfer switch shifts the connected load between AC input and battery-based inverter power without manual intervention.

Can it be used as a UPS for server or network equipment?

Yes. With its auto-transfer switch and integrated charging system, the APS2012 can function as an extended-run UPS for computer and networking equipment in a server room or network closet.

Does it require a generator or fuel to operate?

No. The APS2012 produces AC power from a connected 12VDC battery bank, with no fumes, fuel, or combustion involved.

What warranty coverage applies?

Eaton backs this unit with its standard manufacturer warranty; contact Creation Networks for the current term and any extended coverage options.

Is professional installation required?

While the unit can be installed by a qualified electrician or facilities technician, sizing the battery bank and wiring correctly for a 2000W load is recommended to be handled by someone familiar with DC power systems.
