What is Difference Between IP65 Solar Pump Inverter And IP20 Variable Frequency Driver?


ItemsIP65 solar pump InverterIP20 Variable Frequency Driver
System Conversion EfficiencyWith MPPT function, system efficiency will be more than 99%No MPPT or limited MPPT function, system  efficiency is 92%~97%
Max. input voltage, and MPPT range880Vdc, 460-850Vdc800Vdc, around 500-600Vdc
Adaption to cloudy weatherDoes not stop working when the rated power goes down by 50%;Stops working frequently on cloudy day;
System is not stable;
DesignOutdoor design with IP65IP20, All electrical parts are exposed to the air. reduce usage time, increase whole pumping system maintenance cost, need add extral metal box if installed outdoor.
Dry-protection functionSolar pump  inverter is combined with Auto dry protection and water level sensor proection.  Without auto dry protection. If Water sensor switch is not working, the motor will be damaged easily.
Phase lose protection protect pump while  one phase lose, two phase lose and  three phase losecan protect pump while one phase lose, not protected while  two or three phase lose.
Running temperature-25~60℃, with wide working temperature range. Can perfectly adapt extremely hard environment-20~60℃, Above 45℃ should derate to work.Narrow range for some extreme environment
