Auxiliaries consumption parameter

Auxiliaries in the Inverter definition

Manufacturers have the option to define an auxiliary consumption parameter, which represents the power necessary for cooling the inverter (usually internal fans).

This can be defined only as a constant power with a threshold.

However, this power loss is not automatically taken into account in the simulation; it is only involved through the "Auxiliary loss" tool for the system described above, where it may be used as a pre-defined default value.

Please follow this link to know how to involve the auxiliaries losses in the simulation.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: if the losses associated with auxiliaries are already included in the conversion efficiency, they should not be redefined here, otherwise they would be considered twice.
