The new, more powerful SOLECTRIA XGI 1500-250 utility string inverters bring together US-based engineering and manufacturing with Yaskawa’s world-class quality and reliability. Yaskawa Solectria Solar announces its new SOLECTRIA XGI 1500-250 lineup of grid-support utility interactive inverters that features higher power and industry-leading DC oversizing ratios from 2.0 – 2.86.

The flagship model, with its rating of 250 kW and 600 Vac 3-phase output, is joined by models with 480 Vac 3-phase output, and select models with user-adjustable reactive- power overhead. Multi-inverter racks, factory assembled and tested, provide 1 – 2 MW power building blocks for large projects. In addition the SOLECTRIA XGI 1500-250 inverters have undergone advanced cybersecurity analysis to ensure they are the most secure and reliable solar inverters in the industry.

The SOLECTRIA XGI 1500 inverters are Made in the USA with global components at the Yaskawa America factory in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. XGI 1500 and XGI 1000 inverters are the only PV inverters designed and manufactured in the USA and are Buy America Act (BAA) compliant.

“We strive to stay at the leading edge in PV inverter product design. The new SOLECTRIA XGI 1500-250 series combines the most important elements that our customers have been asking for: increased power output, AC voltage options, high DC oversizing capability and advanced cybersecurity.” says Miles C. Russell, Director of Product Management at Yaskawa Solectria Solar. “Now we are able to deliver on these exciting advancements and continue the strong tradition of Yaskawa quality and reliability.”

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL

DCS Put to the Ultimate Test Part 1 Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL 1 400x275

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.

For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
