8.1 Power Derating Curve

As with all inverters, the amount of continuous power
that the Xantrex Prosine Inverters can deliver without
overheating is limited by ambient (surrounding air)
temperature. The following "Power Derating Curve
vs. Temperature" illustrates the relationship between
power output and ambient temperature.
Operating the unit above this temperature will result
in thermal shutdown or decreased performance. At input
voltages less than 12 V or 24 V, the unit runs warmer
which will cause thermal shutdowns at temperatures
below these ambient temperature guidelines.
Operating the unit in conditions outside the power and
temperature limits (above and to the right of the derating
curves) will result in thermal shutdown and/or
significantly decreased performance. In addition,
operation in this range is outside of the ratings covered
by the product's regulatory approvals.
