Maximum output current
Maximum output current is the highest current a specified inverter output or AC terminal is rated to deliver under stated conditions, usually shown in amps on inverter and battery-system datasheets.
Maximum output current is the highest current a specified inverter output, backup terminal or other AC output is rated to deliver under stated product conditions. It is usually shown in amps and should be read with the output voltage, nominal or rated output power, apparent-power limit, grid or backup terminal and temperature assumptions. The value is separate from maximum input current on the PV side, battery charge or discharge current, export limits, DNO acceptance and proof that every household load can run.
