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 sidewall-mounted throat-style connection type for low-voltage bushings (an Eaton specialty) allows customers to connect directly to low voltage equipment
What is close-coupling?
The only fluid allowed in solar applications.
What is FR3 or natural ester fluid?
What is a central inverter?
This transformer design allows two independent low-voltage equipment lineups to be connected to a single transformer.
What is a dual LV design?
This fluid, originally developed by Eaton (Cooper), is best suited to handle temp cycles in solar applications and protects paper insulation 5-8 times longer than mineral oil.
What is 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?
