Circuit, Over Current
The total rated Maximum Power Current (Imp) of the PV
input should not exceed 30 Amps.
The GP-PWM-30 will limit PV current above 30 Amps.
Although the GP-PWM-30 will accept PV current greater
than 30 Amps for a short duration, damage may occur if the
GP-PWM-30 operates continuously with greater than 30
Amps of PV input.
