Inverters are passed fit for grid connection
Aurora 3.6kW wind power inverters have been tested and listed to UL1741 standard by CSA for grid-connected operation on the utility power grid throughout the USA and Canada
In May, Aurora received the Intel Design Award as one of the five best designs at Intel 2005, an international electrical engineering, electronics, lighting, industrial automation, security and components show held biennially in Milan, Italy.
Designed for residential use, Aurora inverters change the direct current (DC) produced by solar photovoltaic (PV) cells into utility-grade alternating current (AC) and provide the power grid protection required by electric utilities on both sides of the Atlantic.
Developed at Magnetek's European design centre near Florence, Italy, the handsome, compact units feature the highest power density of any solar power inverters on the market today, and are easy to install anywhere inside or outside the home.
A key advantage that Aurora brings to market is its exceptional reliability, based on Magnetek's extensive experience in designing and building digital power products for applications such as telecom equipment and computer servers wherein reliability is paramount.
Another major advantage is Aurora's unique ability to optimise, by means of two independent maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuits, the amount of usable electricity harvested from solar panels under all ambient light conditions.
Frost and Sullivan technology analyst Vijay Murthy observes: 'Despite establishing a blistering pace of technological development Magnetek is continuing to innovate rapidly'.
'For instance, the company is currently developing mid-range products for alternative energy applications (10 to 150kW) and high-end products for wind and photovoltaic applications up to 2.5MW'.
