Title: Wiring up Tripp Lite 3000W (RV3012OEM
Post by: Danny Holder on October 20, 2016, 12:07:35 PM
I need some basic information on how to hard wire the Tripp Lite 3000w (RV3012OEM).  I have the manual but would like a schematic for the electrical wiring.  I am in Middle Tennessee - who would be a good contact in the area that I could ask for assistance.   Thanks

shore power ?

transfer switch ?

manual or automatic ?

     Here's a pretty complete webpage.  It's PSW, capable of 3000W continuous, up to 10 seconds of 6000W momentary output.  It has a charger function.

     I just gave it a quick read.  My first impression is that it has a number of good capabilities, but it seems to be set up in an unusual way compared to other inverters I've seen.  The two AC inputs seem to imply an internal transfer switch but it's not made clear by the text; also, I cannot quite understand why there are two 12V outputs, which seem to have separate dedicated purposes.  And just to put it out there, the $999 price worries me.

     Danny, there is an owner's manual (which I haven't looked at but I'd guess that it has installation instructions) at:

https://www.tripplite.com/support/model/mid/RV3012OEM (https://www.tripplite.com/support/model/mid/RV3012OEM)    The technical support seems to be pretty good, although I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to be in Engrishh as she his speakened in Shanghai.

     Check YouTube and see if Knurlgar has done a review of it.   Good luck (I'm afraid you're going to need it.)
