Instructions:
a) Use appropriate copper cables, that are designed
for an operating temperature of 60°C
b) Follow national installation codes and regulations!
c) Ensure that all strands of a stranded wire enter the
terminal connection!

Lifetime expectancy min. 137 400h At 10A output current, 40°C
min. > 15 years At 5A output current, 40°C
min. > 15 years At 10A output current, 25°C
MTBF SN 29500, IEC 61709 886 000h At 10A output current, 40°C
1 482 000h At 10A output current, 25°C
MTBF MIL HDBK 217F 397 900 At 10A output current , 40°C, ground benign GB40
545 000 At 10A output current , 25°C, ground benign GB25
The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours.
Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The prediction model allows
a calculation of up to 15 years from date of shipment.
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures and indicates
reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily
represent the life of a product.
All values except battery.
