Eaton APSX3024SW – 3000W 24V DC to 230V AC Inverter/Charger

Product Overview

The Eaton APSX3024SW is a 3000-watt international inverter/charger that converts 24V DC battery power into 230V AC power for mobile, emergency and remote-site deployments. Designed for RVs, commercial fleet vehicles and emergency vehicles, it functions as a vehicle inverter, standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS with an automatic line-to-battery transfer switch and integrated three-stage charging system. Fleet managers and mobile power integrators specify the APSX3024SW when they need generator-free, network-grade AC power for computers, audio/video components and other sensitive electronics operating away from utility power.

Product Description

The APSX3024SW 3000W international inverter/charger provides a reliable power source for power tools, computers, audio/video components and other sensitive electronics operating at mobile, emergency and remote sites, without the fumes, fuel or noise of a generator. Its DC-to-AC pure sine-wave inverter output delivers network-grade power suitable for sensitive electronics, while an automatic line-to-battery transfer switch and integrated charging system let the unit work as a vehicle inverter, standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS depending on deployment. The APSX3024SW delivers 3000W of continuous power, with surge capacity of 4500W for up to one minute and 6000W of peak power for up to 10 seconds to handle equipment startup or cycling loads. An automatic overload detector, cooling fan and resettable AC circuit breakers protect the unit from damage during heavy-load operation. Built for easy installation in RVs, commercial and fleet vehicles and emergency vehicles, the unit converts stored power from any 24V battery or automotive DC source into safe, stable, computer-grade 230V AC power for unlimited runtime while the vehicle is running. When hardwired to an external 230V AC source, the APSX3024SW keeps the user-supplied battery charged through a three-stage, selectable 23/90A charging system while simultaneously delivering AC power to connected equipment. Used as a UPS, the unit responds to blackouts and brownouts with an automatic, instantaneous transfer to battery-derived AC output, and LEDs indicate load percentage and battery charge level so field crews can monitor status at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the APSX3024SW run as a standalone AC power source without a vehicle running?

Yes, it can operate as a standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS from a connected 24V battery bank, not only as a vehicle inverter.

How is the unit installed for fleet or emergency vehicle use?

The APSX3024SW is designed for hardwire installation in RVs, commercial and fleet vehicles and emergency vehicles; a qualified installer should size wiring and battery capacity to the application.

What happens during a power outage when the unit is hardwired to AC?

The automatic transfer switch instantaneously shifts to battery-derived AC output, allowing it to function as a UPS during blackouts or brownouts.

What kind of equipment is this inverter/charger rated to power?

It is rated for power tools, computers, audio/video components and other sensitive electronics requiring stable, network-grade AC power.

How does the selectable charging rate work?

The three-stage charging system supports a selectable 23A or 90A rate to match different battery bank sizes and recharge time requirements.

What warranty applies to the APSX3024SW?

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