Small backup systems often need to support two different types of load: a modest AC appliance and several phones, tablets, or other USB devices. The TCI-Plus-500 is designed around that practical combination, with a listed 500 W modified sine wave AC output, a compact enclosure, a color LCD, and four USB charging ports.

What the TCI-Plus-500 is designed to do

The model provides a listed 500 W rated AC output and a 1000 VA peak rating. The peak duration is not specified, so the peak figure should not be treated as continuous power or as a guaranteed motor-starting capability. For a distributor or installer, the first step is to list the running load, starting demand, and required waveform before choosing the inverter.

USB charging is part of the system design

The TCI-Plus-500 includes two USB-C PD 3.0 ports listed at 30 W per port and two QC 3.0 ports listed at 22.5 W per port. These ports are useful for compact backup packages where communications devices and small electronics must remain available during an outage. The actual charging power depends on the connected device, cable, and charging protocol. The individual USB ratings should not be added to the AC rating to create a combined continuous output figure.

Confirm the ordered voltage configuration

Item Listed configuration

AC output options 110 V, 120 V, 220 V, 230 V, or 240 V AC depending on version
Size and weight 190 × 112 × 55 mm; 0.55 kg net weight

Voltage, frequency, socket, and multi-voltage options are order configurations rather than universal features of every unit. Buyers should provide the destination market and battery voltage when requesting a quotation.

Modified sine wave compatibility matters

This is a modified sine wave battery inverter. It is suitable only for equipment that is explicitly compatible with that waveform. Sensitive audio equipment, some motors, medical equipment, and certain power supplies may require a pure sine wave inverter. Testing the intended load list before a bulk order helps distributors avoid compatibility complaints.

Protection and compact installation

The listed protection functions include under-voltage, over-voltage, overload, short circuit, over-temperature, and reverse polarity protection. The compact 190 mm enclosure can fit small backup kits, but cable sizing, ventilation, fuse selection, and battery-side protection still need to follow the supplied installation instructions.

Information to include in a wholesale inquiry

For the TCI-Plus-500, send the required DC input, AC voltage, frequency, socket type, quantity, intended load list, and destination country. GERIXI can then confirm the exact supplied configuration, branding or packaging options, MOQ, lead time, warranty terms, and available technical documents.
