• Simple & Robust Notes:
• High Reliability Hot air exhausted out
*1
Full power available at and above nominal voltage. Derate will apply below nominal voltage.
• Significantly reduces O&M costs *2
Transition from constant DC voltage mode to MPPT mode occurs between 595V and 605V.
• Small Footprint *3
Contact a TMEIC Sales Manager for detailed temperature derates and operational ranges.
*4
Available reactive capability with reduction in active power.
The Fan-less mode runs when the inverter is below *5
