1.1 Applications
Congratulations! Your new Tripp Lite PowerVerter Ultra Compact DC-to-AC Inverter will give you
years of reliable, carefree service.
PowerVerter Inverters give you access to AC power wherever and whenever you need it. They
convert Direct Current (DC) electricity from a battery to Alternating Current (AC) electricity which
is the standard utility power you find at home. Your PowerVerter Inverter simply connects to any
12V (automotive) battery to run a variety of office and household appliances:
• Power Tools • TVs • Game Systems
• Fax Machines • VCRs • Kitchen Equipment
• Lamps • Stereos • and More!
1.2 Advanced Features
Design
PowerVerter Ultra Compact’s advanced design and production technology packs the power of
standard inverters into a lighter, low-profile, metal case. This design eliminates the need for bulky
internal transformers.
