Ingeteam achieves UL1741 compliance for the new 1500 Vdc Central Inverter Product line

PRESS RELEASE

Pamplona, 13^th September 2016.

Ingeteam´s INGECON SUN PowerMax U B Series inverters are dimensionally just 111” x 35” x 80” inches; these inverters are able to supply up to a maximum power of 1,637 kVA in a single unit – making it the solar inverter with the highest power density in the market, thanks to its more than 326 kW/m^3 (5.34W/in^3).

The 1500 Vdc INGECON SUN PowerMax B Series inverter family features a Smart Cooling System which makes it possible to optimize and reduce the auxiliary services consumption. Furthermore, the inverter’s latest-generation electronic components are housed in an IP66 (NEMA 4) protected compartment, thereby preventing condensation and lengthening the useful life of the power electronics.

This inverter family is ready to be installed indoors (IP50) and outdoors (NEMA3/IP56), and can deliver its rated power up to an ambient temperature of 50ºC (122ºF). Additionally, the new improved inverter design facilitates the installation and wiring tasks (on both DC and AC) in addition to the maintenance and repair work. Reliability of the product has been proved on the Bankability and Reliability report issued by Black & Veatch.

Thanks to its compactness, the inverter can be easily integrated into medium voltage solutions or power stations that contain all the equipment required for large PV plants. In fact, three (3) inverters can be mounted in the same power station in order to reach up to 4.91 MVA in a single medium voltage unit.

This equipment and the medium voltage solutions mentioned, are to be showcased on the Ingeteam Booth #1559 at the 2016 Solar Power International show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
