Notes on Tables
1. Nominal input current (considered continuous) is based on full-rated output load. Maximum
current includes nominal input current and maximum battery recharge current (considered
noncontinuous). Continuous and noncontinuous current are defined in NEC 100. Maximum input
current is controlled by the current limit setting which is adjustable. Values shown are for
maximum setting of 125%. Standard factory setting is 125%.
2. Recommended bypass external overcurrent protection is based on 125% overload capacity for 10
minutes.
3. All recommended external overcurrent protections are based on 80% rated breakers.
4. Nominal battery voltage is shown at 2.0 volts / cell.
