Note: 1. The above values are for steady-state currents.
          2. Inductive load: Power factor = 0.4; time constant = 7 ms.
          3. The lamp load has an inrush current of 10 times the steady-state current.
          4. The motor load has an inrush current of 6 times the steady-state current.
 The rated values are for testing conducted under the following conditions.
 (1) Ambient temperature: 20±2°C
 (2) Ambient humidity: 65% ±5%RH
 (3) Operating frequency: 20 times/min
