To ensure the reliability of the generator and increase its lifespan, the peak capacities
may be slightly limited by circuit breakers.
The optimum operating conditions are ambient temperature of 17 – 25 °C, barometric
pressure of 0.1 MPa (760 mm Hg), and relative humidity of 50 – 60%. Under such
ambient conditions, the generator can guarantee maximum performance in terms
of the stated specications. In case of deviations from the above ambient values, the
performance of the generator can be dierent.
Please note that in order to preserve the lifespan of the generator, continuous loads
should not exceed 80% of the rated power.
