This inverter is a a combination of an inverter, battery charger and AC auto-transfer switch into one complete system with a peak DC and AC conversion efficiency of 92%. It is unique as the inverter will bypass 50 amps 120V or 240V and outputs 120, ideal for RVs, work trucks, food trucks and boats. It is packed with unique features and it is one of the most advanced inverter chargers on the market today. This inverter also features power factor corrected, sophisticated multi-stage charging and pure sine wave output with unprecedentedly high surge capability to meet demanding power needs of inductive loads without endangering the equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powerful battery charger  is capable of 12 volts at 100 amps, and with power factor corrected, it uses 20-30% less energy from AC input than a standard charger, avoiding nuisance breaker trips or generator overloads. In response to the increasing demand of more advance battery charging, this model is equipped with Battery Temperature Sensing for increased charging precision. The overloads capacity is 300% of continuous output for up to 20 seconds to reliably support tools and equipment longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformers have been consistently improved for years to achieve the best balance of conversion efficiency, idle consumption and minimum THD. The idle consumption of the line is ultra-low, roughly 1.5% of its rated power. The AC battery priority switch and auto generator start functionally making it ideal to work in either backup power or renewable energy applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn AC priority mode, when utility AC power cuts off, the transfer relay is de-energized and the load is automatically transferred to the inverter output. Once the qualified AC utility is restored, the relay is energized and the load is automatically transferred to AC utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen customized to battery priority mode via the DIP switch, the inverter will extract power from external power sources in renewable energy systems and a minimal cycle of the battery will be required. With the availability of the auto generator start, an electrical generator can be integrated into the system as a backup and started when the battery voltage goes low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed to UL 458 Standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBypasses 50 amps 120V or 240V and outputs 120V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3000 watt low frequency inverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9000 watt surge for 20 seconds -3x surge capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery priority selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC direct connect terminal block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGFCI – 20 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine coated and protected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti stage smart charger 100 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote panel available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto gen start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10msec typical transfer time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 battery type settings for charger including lithium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think  \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"1225\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1mf9iak\" data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"532\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"430\"\u003e3,000W continuous output\u003c\/strong\u003e with strong surge handling for motors, pumps, and compressors \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hraoy7\" data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"653\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"571\"\u003e100A multi-stage battery charger\u003c\/strong\u003e (fast recovery from generator\/grid power) \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"17dqsxk\" data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"785\"\u003eSupports \u003cstrong data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"702\"\u003e120V 30A or 240V 50A bypass input\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for RV shore power or split systems \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"3df6el\" data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"871\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"813\"\u003ePure sine wave output\u003c\/strong\u003e → safe for electronics, appliances, and medical devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1t5i7kc\" data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"980\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"910\"\u003eLow-frequency transformer design\u003c\/strong\u003e → better durability and surge performance than lightweight HF units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"joulqy\" data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003eIntegrated \u003cstrong data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"1021\"\u003etransfer switch (~10ms)\u003c\/strong\u003e for near-seamless backup switching \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"3od41r\" data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1225\"\u003eBuilt-in \u003cstrong data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003egenerator auto-start + battery priority modes\u003c\/strong\u003e for smart energy management \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e                 \u003cbr\u003eQ\u0026amp;A      \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: What is the AIMS Power PICOGLF3K12050BY 3000W Pure Sine Inverter Charger?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: The AIMS Power PICOGLF3K12050BY is a 3000W low-frequency pure sine wave inverter\/charger with a built-in automatic transfer switch, designed for RVs, off-grid homes, marine systems, and backup power applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: How much power does it provide?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: It delivers 3000W continuous output with up to 9000W surge (3× surge for ~20 seconds), making it suitable for motors, pumps, and heavy startup loads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: Does it support 120V and 240V input bypass?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: Yes.
