Central inverter series extended

17 April 2013

ABB's central inverter series, PVS800, is now available in 875 and 1000kW versions. The central inverters are said to reduce overall system cost and to have higher total efficiency with a compact and easy-tomaintain design. The operating temperature and altitude rating are extended and the modular direct current input design provides greater flexibility for system integrators. The PVS800 has a 98.8% maximum efficiency. This figure is improved at partial loads to provide a Euro e

ABB's central inverter series, PVS800, is now available in 875 and 1000kW versions. The central inverters are said to reduce overall system cost and to have higher total efficiency with a compact and easy-tomaintain design. The operating temperature and altitude rating are extended and the modular direct current input design provides greater flexibility for system integrators. The PVS800 has a 98.8% maximum efficiency. This figure is improved at partial loads to provide a Euro efficiency rating of 98.6%.

The inverters have very low auxiliary power consumption of only 700W at nominal power, which further contributes to a high total efficiency.

With a 45% higher power density, compared to ABB's earlier versions, the PVS800 is one of the most compact inverters on the market by footprint and volume per kW. This reduces installation and container space and cuts transportation costs.
