Grid-Tied PV Inverters

Carlo Gavazzi is excited launch our new range of Grid-Tied PV Inverters. The ISGA Series features a transformerless design, which does not incorporate or require a cooling fan. Naturally, cooling fans have moving components which ultimately will fail, therefore their exclusion in the design leads to a longer, maintenance-free product life span. This is merely one of the reasons why the PV inverters are available with a warranty of up to 10 years.

The ISGA Series are available in 2kW, 3kW, 4kW and 5kW output sizes with a 240VAC 60Hz single phase output or three inverters combined for up to 6 to 15kW, 240VAC delta 3-phase 60Hz output. The inverter has an output efficiency up to 96.4%, with CEC ratings up to 95.5%. The ISGA Series inverter has a remarkable input voltage range of 150 to 450VDC, allowing customers to realize a significant increase in AC production time. Some models also offer the ability to connect two individual MPP inputs – again, allowing for an increase in production time. The input is protected from overvoltage, ground faults, reverse polarity and surges.

The ISGA Series inverters feature a user friendly LCD display and are easily installed via a quick-mount bracket. The built-in combination AC/DC disconnect switch also allows for quick installation without the need for a separate externally mounted disconnect switch. They have an environmentally robust and durable powder coated metal housing, with a NEMA3R outdoor rating, and can operate from -4° to 122°F (-25° to +50°C). The inverters also come standard with an RS232 output. However, RS485, Ethernet, USB and Web Server capabilities are available as options.
The ISGA Series are CE marked and cETLus approved to meet these standards: UL1741, IEE1547/IEE1547.1, CAN/CSA STD C22.2 No 107.1, FCC Part 15, Class A & B. To recap, in bullet format – here are the product features:

  • Low MPPT Input Voltage
  • One or Two MPPT Inputs
  • High Efficiency Rating
  • Transformerless Design
  • Fanless Design
  • Informative Mimic Panel Display
  • Free Graphical User Interface Software
  • RS232, RS485, Ethernet or USB Communications
  • Quick Mount Installation Bracket
  • UL1741, CSAC22.2, IEEE1547 and FCC
  • Up to a 10 Year Warranty

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
