PVI-CENTRAL-50

Photovoltaic inverters from Magnetek can increase the electrical power that is available from your solar panels. Field-proven designs reduce the time and cost of installation, assure a long service life and enable best-in-class price/performance value.

Magnetek’s PVI-CENTRAL-50 grid-tied system is designed for commercial solar applications such as office, apartment, or industrial buildings. Harvest more green with Aurora’s Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm that maximizes energy produced under varying light conditions. The inverter’s Insulated Gate Bi-polar Transistors (IGBTs) reduce thermal energy losses for optimum performance.

*Note - Enable Macros before using.

The PVI-CENTRAL-50 is a complete turnkey solution for connection to low-voltage public utilities. Using integrated light sensors, it offers nighttime disconnection of the transformer to eliminate undesired losses. A string combiner box is optionally available to parallel, protect and monitor all of the photovoltaic strings and to enhance the monitoring and diagnostic capabilities of the system.

Maximize power harvest

High conversion efficiency (CEC efficiency 95%) for maximum power harvest
Wide operating voltage range of 300-600 Vdc increases energy collected
Self-tuning MPPT power curve optimizes energy harvest

Low installation and maintenance costs

Module design offers unobstructed front access to modules and power boards for quick inverter installs and simplified maintenance
Residential area installation without the need for noise reduction: <54dB acoustic noise, non-audible 18 kHz switching frequency

Flexible configuration

String combiner box option assures array protection and monitoring
Optional module grounding of (+) leg for application flexibility

Extended performance

A broad range of communications options: dial up, ISDN, Ethernet, DSL, GSM, and the optional FlyBy Easy Communication System hardware/software, for instant access to system status
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based controls for self diagnostics and LCD real-time display of operating status
Five-year warranty extendable to 20 years
