Ambient air temperature means the surrounding temperature of the inverter. In case the inverter is
installed in a cabinet, ambient air temperature is the temperature of the internal air of the cabinet.

DC bus capacitors are recommended to be replacing every 5 years. And if the inverter is used in a worse
condition, this recommended replacing period is reduced.
