Carlo Gavazzi Grid-Tied PV Inverters

Friday, January 20, 2012 by Beckie Bordenaro
As we are getting snowed in here I figured it would be a great time to blog about solar inverters!

Carlo Gavazzi has launched the ISGA series of grid-tied PV inverters.

solar invertersThis series features a transformer-less design which does not incorporate or require a cooling fan. This means quiet operation and one less part that can fail or needs maintenance!

Other features of the Carlo Gavazzi ISGA PV inverter include:
  • 2kW to 5kW output sizes
  • Single phase
  • IP65/NEMA 3R - suitable for indoor or outdoor applications
  • Ideal for grid faults - guarantees uninterrupted energy production!
  • Energy efficiency of up to 96.4%

“Breaking Wind” – How to Measure Velocity

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by Amy Becker

Oh wait, I don’t think I have the correct terminology. I think I meant to say “Blowing Wind”. Yes, that is much better. 

There are many reasons one would need to measure wind velocity. Carlo Gavazzi has the perfect wind turbine components to do just this. The DWS Series Anemometers,  cup anemometers measure wind velocity from 3.4 to 67 MPH (5.4 to 108 km/hr). They are ideal for increasing the efficiency of wind turbines, for accurate monitoring with weather stations, and for providing added safety with outdoor hoists/cranes, greenhouses and to prevent large industrial doors from operating in high winds.

Check out our web site at www.wolfautomation.com for other Carlo Gavazzi Sensors.
