Limitation by Ambient Temperature
The maximum load (sink) power is 300 W continuous at 0 to 40
C, 240 W continuous at 40 to 50
C, and
300 W continuous within five seconds at 40 to 50
C.
The maximum output (source) power is 30 W continuous at 0 to 40
C, 24 W continuous at 40 to 50
C, and
30 W continuous within five seconds at 40 to 50
C.
Thus, loading of 300 W is possible up to 50
C when the source time is within five seconds in sweep source.
1. Maximum power limitation at the time of continuous loading
When the 4601 is used continuously as load, there is a maximum load power limitation by the ambient
temperature as shown in Figure 1-3.
The maximum load power is 300 W at the ambient temperature of 40
C or below and 240 W at 50
C.
Also, as for continuous output, the maximum power is 30 W at the ambient temperature of 40
C or
below and 24 W at 50
C.
