55

Operating Limits

These are the operating limits of the Freedom X:

n

Power Output

n

Input Voltage

n

Overload Conditions

n

High Surge Loads

n

Over-temperature Conditions

Power Output

The Freedom X can deliver up to 2000 watts

3

of continuous utility

grade sine wave AC power. The wattage rating applies to resistive
loads such as incandescent lights.

3

As the temperature on the Model Name 2 rises, it will gradually reduce its continuous power output from

2000 W at 40°C ambient to 1500 W before the over-temperature shutdown occurs at 60°C ambient. See

Specifications on page 73
