Power Derating
To ensure a safe operation of the inverter under any temperature and electrical
condition, the unit will automatically derate the power to be supplied to the grid.
Power derating can occur on one of the following occasions:
Power Derating due to Ambient Temperature
Natural convection cooling system of Aurora guarantees high reliability and keeps the
internal components within the optimal operating temperature range.
Under severe operating conditions (when ambient temperature is very high), the unit
may need to reduce the power supplied.
Several environmental factors can influence the operating temperature of the unit,
such as ambient air temperature, airflow, exposure to sun radiation, input voltage
and power, orientation of the heatsink fins, etc.
AURORA is able to supply the maximum rated output power (i.e. 2.000W) with
ambient temperatures up to 40°C, in case the unit is not directly exposed to solar
radiation or heat sources that may cause a further increase of the internal
temperature.
