Auxiliaries in the Inverter definition

Manufacturers have the opportunity of defining an Auxiliary consumption parameter, which represents the necessary power for cooling the inverter (usually internal fans).

This can only be defined 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 values.    

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.
