1. Turn ON your load and draw power as per normal.
Caution: never pull the fuel cell voltage below 18V or
draw power beyond 1000W.
If hybrid battery is connected at the load, PROTIUM-1000 will provide up to its maximum rated output and
the rest is augmented by the battery. The total power available depends on the capacity of the battery.
