 REFUcontrol RC-2x „Power Limit“
• Intelligent Power Limit uses on-site energy
consumption into consideration by means
of a bi-directional energy meter
• using a closed loop control to limit the
inverters output power accordingly every
10 s
• 2-3% of power export might occur
depending on the overall response time powered by
• The solution comes pre-built pre-wired
with the data-logger, power supply, router,
switch, meter and terminal blocks for
connections
• Commissioning support can be provided
optionally
