Questions about this item
Will the fan in the 98Y2218 need replacement after long-term operation?
The 800 watt unit uses an internal cooling fan; under continuous load in an Exp2512 or Exp2524 enclosure the fan bearings are the first wear item and typically require replacement after several years of 24/7 service.
What thermal limit appears first when the 98Y2218 runs at full 800 watt output continuously?
Sustained 800 watt draw raises the internal temperature until the over-temperature protection trips, which is the first hard limit reached before any voltage rail drops out of specification.
