Read the manual CE mark. inverter complies with requirements of the applicable EC guidelines. The inverter must not be disposed of with the household waste.
1.5 Glossary Abbreviation for "Alternating Current" Abbreviation for "Direct Current" Energy Energy is measured in Wh (watt hours), kWh (kilowatt hours) or MWh (megawatt hours). The energy is the power calculated over time. If, for example, your inverter operates at a constant power of 4600 W for half an hour and then at a constant power of 2300 W for another half an hour, it has fed 3450Wh of energy into the power distribution grid within that hour.
