API field

Ambient nameplate schedule

How the AC rating falls with ambient temperature

Unit °C / W

What it is

How the inverter's AC output limit falls as the ambient temperature rises: a list of temperatures and, for each, the highest AC power the inverter delivers at that temperature. The limit is read between the points and never exceeds the AC nameplate.

Typical values and how to get it

From the OND file or the datasheet derating curve. If not given: no temperature derating: the AC limit is the nameplate at every temperature.
