Power Output
The PROwatt SW Inverter will deliver the following power continuously, depending on input voltage and ambient temperature. The inverter will deliver more than 10% of its continuous power rating for approximately five minutes. The inverter must cool down for 15 minutes before it can resume operation above its continuous power rating.
