The primary markets for PV inverters include residential, commercial and light industrial.

The Carlo Gavazzi ISGA series is available in 2kW, 3kW, 4kW and 5kW output sizes. The inverter has an output efficiency up to 96.4%!

Other features of the Carlo Gavazzi ISGA series include:
  • Low MPPT input voltage
  • One or two MPPT inputs
  • High efficiency rating
  • Transformer-less design
  • Fanless design
  • Informative mimic panel display
  • Free graphical user interface software

Carlo Gavazzi Hybrid Relays

Friday, January 20, 2012 by Caryl Clement

Power-supply manufacturer Carlo Gavazzi recently released a series of switching devices the company deems "economically friendly," the RMD Hybrid Relays. The product provides mercury-free switching, designed for controlling heating elements inside of food ovens, warmers, fryers, rotisseries and other food equipment. It's capable of switching up to 20 cycles per minute, with a 4 million electrical cycle life expectancy.

The RMD Series combines solid-state technology and electromechanical relays to provide a hybrid relay. This means that there is virtually no contact arcing, which  results in prolonged relay life and much less emission inside of the panel. Another benefit of hybrid technology is a full amperage rating at elevated operational temperatures. While most conventional switching devices are rated at 25-40 degrees Celsius, the RMD Hybrid Relays are fully rated up to 60 degrees Celsius. The RMD3H switches heaters on three legs while the RMD2H is a lower-cost alternative, as it switches two poles and the third pole is directly connected between L2 and T2. Additional technical features include:

  • Two- (for single and three phase circuits) and three-pole arrangements
  • Rated for 4 million electrical cycles
  • Rated for up to 20 cycles per minute
  • Two output voltage ratings: 240VAC (VL-L) and 277VAC (VL-N – 480VAC with Neutral)
  • Three common control voltages: 24VAC, 120VAC, 240VAC
  • Two amperage ratings: 30A up to 70 degrees Celsius, 40A up to 60 degrees Celsius
  • Similar mounting to Mercury Displacement Contactors
  • Mercury-free, RoHS compliant, cRUus recognized

Pepper Fuchs Pile Driver

Friday, January 20, 2012 by Caryl Clement
Marshall Wolf Automation is pleased to announce that Pepperl+Fuchs X-Series Pile Driver™ Extended Range Inductive Sensors are now available in 8mm diameter models. With barrel lengths as short as 35mm, these miniature sensors deliver a 3mm sensing range – 50 percent more range than is available from larger competitive 12mm diameter models. As a result, 8mm diameter extended range Pile Driver sensors eliminate the need to sacrifice sensing range or durability. Like all Pile Driver sensors, its robust, single-piece machined barrel is fully embeddable in steel making it an ideal sensing solution for the toughest metalforming and welding applications.

X-Series Pepperl + Fuchs Sensor

X-Series Pile Driver’s extended sensing field is a big benefit in automotive manufacturing applications, as it enables reliable detection of irregularly shaped contours, and increased sensor-to-target distances help eliminate contact-related scuffing of “Class A” hood, door and trunk surfaces. Weld-immune models are uniquely capable of providing long range part detection with full immunity to both AC and DC weld fields, and repelling weld splatter.

TECO N3 Series Variable Speed Drives Now Have BACnet Protocol As Standard!

Friday, January 20, 2012 by Beckie Bordenaro
The TECO N3 series now has BACnet Communications included as a standard feature.

teco n3 variable frequency drivesBACnet can be selected via parameter configuration. Then, with optional SIF-485 connector module, the TECO N3 drive will communicate on a BACnet network.

This gives you an excellent solution compared to other available methods of communications, including Gateway modules or 3rd party communication cards.

Gateways have typically been separate cards or mounted devices that are 'translators' from another protocol (Modbus for example) to BACnet. The TECO N3 model can eliminate this added step.

What is BACnet? It is a communication protocol that experienced significant growth in the past few years. BACnet is designed for Building Management Systems which include HVAC but includes other applications as well. These include energy management solutions, lighting, fire prevention and security access.

Carlo Gavazzi ISGA Series

Friday, January 20, 2012 by Caryl Clement
You know Carlo Gavazzi sensors, and you know them for the great equipment they make for car washing systems.  Now, Carlo Gavazzi is excited launch their 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.display

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.
