I need to know the idle current of this 24V inverter. I would appreciate your help. Thanks

0.9 amps--that may be a bit too high for off-grid use. http://www.powerbright.com/aps1000.html

specs for the unit say .6A no load (standby) current draw so eventually it would pull battery dead if you did not have any charging on your battery bank, probably not a bad idea if leaving un-attended for long periods to have a battery disconnect for the inverter so you don't have some glitch that would allow inverter to possibly short and start a fire.

It is standard house current. I just plugged it into to wall. Sorry, that's the best I can do. Hope it answers your question.

Hi; Since this a brand new unit directly from manufacture, here is the link from the tripp Lite website with all details and spec for that inverter: http://www.tripplite.com/inverter-charger-750w-automatic-transfer-switching-2-outlets~APS750/Any other questions, let me know I have 4-5 unit of that inverter Thanks

this inverter must be connected to a 24 volt system or battery. if u connect batteries to it without something to charge the batteries they will drain very fast. you can get solar panels from amazon. the more watts the panels have, the more power it will make. look on youtube there are vids on solar they helped me alot.

It uses a 200 AMP ANL Fuses. Make sure that the lead wires to the inverter are no longer then 4 feet and are at least 2/0 (two aught) wire in thickness. Use two heavy duty marine grade batteries in parallel maintaining a longer drain@ 12 volts.

I only used this inverter for a very short time and it worked well. Did not get a chance to verify if it was pure sine wave as I upgraded to a 24 volts inverter within short time

I would recommend at least 4 BIG batteries all directly wired to the inverter. Also the "start" load seems a bit light (10.8A), that's a capacitor start motor, and I bet it's drawing close to 2000 watts, and if there is a weak link in using an inverter, it's that batteries are not good at providing a Lot of power for an instant. I had a similar issue, and after re-wiring my battery bank to supply 4 wires to the inverter, the problem was resolved. (I have a bank of 10 Very large deep cycle batteries) The inverter will shut down, if the voltage drops below 10.5 Volts. So another thing I would do is only try this, when the batteries are fully charged. (12.8 volts or higher) Good luck. I would recommend at least 4 BIG batteries all directly wired to the inverter.

I would not advise that as hooking up an inverter to one battery while two batteries are in 24v could be harmful to the battery's lifespan. I would suggest 24v on the panel side and 12v on the battery side. Please let us know if you need further clarification. Kind Regards, AW

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

I would think that the idle power consumption would be dependent upon the power consumption of the power supply you are using to power this device. Sorry for using the word "power" so much but it just worked.

I have only used the twelve volt system in my vehicle. Since I posted issues with my inverter, I took a two day trip. The inverter worked great the whole time. I have complete confidence in it now.

Greg:I am very pleased with the inverter I have. I have the 24volt unit and my panels are wired, two in series to get 24 volt, back to trunkline to the inverter and then to grid. This utilises all the voltage they put out. If you are connecting to batteries your charger will hold the panels at 12volts and you will need wire up for 12 volt.calvinm@galaxycable.net

The main difference between the two inverters is the supply voltage for the inverter. The 12 volt inverter will need a 12VDC supply such as found in most passenger cars and light trucks. The 24 volt inverter will require a supply voltage of 24VDC and is typically used with farm equipment, heavy machinery and many military vehicles. Both inverters will produce 120VAC at the output.

No, actually there is not. What you have is in effect a local source of 120VAC, isolated from the power grid and from ground. I'm not sure what would happen if you grounded the output outlet. It might short the inverter circuitry to ground and cause a failure.

I checked mine on my 24v system with a multimeter and found the output at a steady 12v.

There is no "output voltage". It's simply a switch. I'm fairly certain it can handle 24 Volts.
