fficiency curves

The equipment was designed considering current energy conservation 

standards, to avoid waste and unnecessary leakage. 

Graphs of the efficiency curves of all models of inverter described in this 

manual are shown below.

The efficiency curves are linked to technical parameters that are continually being developed 

and improved and should therefore be considered approximate.
