IDENTIFICATION

1.5.1

Identification plate

All required identification data are on the identification plate.
The identification plate also mentions some basic features of
the Genverter.
SERIAL NUMBER
The identity of the Genverter is given by the SERIAL NUMBER.
Using this number, the manufacturer can trace the
specifications of the Genverter.
POWER
The identification plate gives the maximum load in kVA (=kW)
calculated with power factor one. When calculating a load one
should always take into account the power factor or cos. phi of
this load. The resulting load should not exceed the nominal
power as shown on the identification plate. Power is rated at an
ambient temperature of 25°C. For higher temperatures the
Genverter has to be de-rated. If the radiator fan (12V fan) is
driven using power generated by the Genverter, the net power
may be less than specified on the identification plate.
