Solar Designs
A transformer that raises or steps up the voltage from primary to secondary.
What is a step-up transformer?
With over 15 years of experience in solar and 55 years in utility, this company is one of the largest domestic suppliers of transformers in the solar space.
Who is Eaton?
This document guides selections in BidManager and helps sales gather key information from customers.
What is a quote checklist?
A device that converts DC to AC.
What is an inverter?
This component releases pressure from the tank created from daily heat cycling in solar applications.
What is a pressure relief valve?
This intelligent power management company is the leader in close-coupled designs and VFI transformers.
Who is Eaton?
The only fluid allowed in solar applications.
What is FR3 or natural ester fluid?
What is a central inverter?
These allow transformers to directly bus low voltage terminals into inverter or LV switchboard.
What are sidemount LV bushings?
Eaton requires the use of this fluid in solar designs for extended transformer life.
FR3
Typically 5.75%, if not specified by the customer, this value should be left as "0".
What is Target IZ %?
Some inverter manufacturers specify a tight tolerance on this design attribute.
A conductor placed between the primary and secondary windings to reduce the effects of transients.
What is electrostatic shielding?
Eaton can manufacture transformers to mitigate arc flash hazards by adding this external feature showing fast visible confirmation of disconnection.
What is an external visible loadbreak switch?
This must be done if quoting with close coupling, external gauges, and/or a visible break switch on the tank sidewall.
What is removing cooling?
This energy storage system topology utilizes many widespread power converters to produce and combine AC power.
What is a string inverter system?
With a robust core design, this design attribute can be kept lower to account for voltage fluctuations and avoid saturation.
What is flux density?
Electric Utilities and Generation: Utility Scale Wind and Solar are required selections for these two fields.
What are the End User Segment and Sub Segment?
