Why are you not getting full power from your charger or inverter?

Effect förlust | have you ever had the feeling that your charger or inverter isn't really producing the power it should? Or have you wondered why your Nespresso machine does not succeed in brewing a good cup of coffee during the process or when you have just added it, although your Inverter should really be able to do it?

The reason could be various; simple that your equipment is mounted in the engine room and there; the temperature of the environment has a direct connection to the power that can, the delivered power can be far from the specified.

If we take an example of; an installation with a charger på 50A and an inverter på 2000W så they deliver exactly this at 25 degrees.

If you have the installation in the engine room, it is not uncommon for operating temperatures around 50 degrees and it also takes relatively long time for the temperature to drop when you are in port. In this case, the same installation gives 31A and the inverter 1240W, which is 62% of the specified power.

If the installation is instead placed outside the engine room, a warning summer day onå 30 degrees that the charger gives 48A and the inverter gives 1900W, which is probably not noticeable but äandå measurable.

This gives us three questions that need to be answered in order for you to be able to dimension an installation that matches your needs:

1. Where Are your components installed?
2. What does the temperature range look like in the installation space?
3. What effect do you want to be able to get? from your installation as a minimum?

Other than this, you can use Victron Energy's app " Victron Toolkit" and the feature "Temp derating" where you yourself can work your way up to a solution that fits your needs.

In the screenshot below you can see our example of; our 2000W inverter and how it delivers at 50 degrees.
