The inverter is protected against penetration by dust particles and water jets from
any angle.
The inverter has a transformer.
AC
Abbreviation for “Alternating Current”.
DC
Abbreviation for "direct current".
Derating
A controlled reduction in performance, usually dependent on component temperatures.
Electronic Solar Switch (ESS)
