IP-20(Minimum) for indoor. IP-65(Minimum) for outdoor. (a) Three phase PCU/ inverter shall be used with each power plant system (10 kW and/or above) but in case of less than 10 kW single phase inverter can be used. (b) PCU/inverter shall be capable of complete automatic operation including wake-up, synchronization & shutdown.
Because POUT (efficiency) (PIN) PIN = POUT/efficiency Using peak efficiency, the input power to the inverter must be PIN=POUT/Peak Efficiency=3,300 W/0.953=3,463 W Using the CEC efficiency, the input power to the inverter must be PIN=POUT/CEC Efficiency=3,300 W/0.945=3,492 W Inverters can be classed according to their power output.
For inverters designed for residential use, the output voltage is 120 V or 240 V at 60 Hz for North America. It is 230 V at 50 Hz for many other countries.
