Inverter manufacturers need not settle for off-the-shelf enclosures that don’t sufficiently protect costly equipment. A collaborative design process between the enclosure and electronics manufacturers shows how it’s done in three steps.

Four ways to protect electrical inverters
Steven Leidig Manager of Enclosure Engineering Crenlo Rochester, MN www.crenlo.com One of the most important components for delivering wind power to the grid is the electrical inverter. The wind could blow at the optimum speed, but if the inverter is not converting power to its full potential, the cost of lost efficiency…
