to conform requirements like voltage regulation, current limiting, wave shaping, transient
recovery, automatic synchronization etc. as given below.

dissipation in the panel and thereby providing high efficiency.

the bypass source without interruption.

The inverter output shall be limited to 150% of rated load current. The two sensing locations
shall operate separately and independently thus providing redundancy and, in the event of a
failure, preventing unnecessary damage to power transistor components / fuses. Load current
above 150% shall cause an immediate transfer of the load to the bypass source for fault
clearing.
