Fraunhofer’s Medium-Voltage inverter saves resources

Fraunhofer ISE innovates medium-voltage inverter for efficient utility PV plants.
The new inverter boosts voltage to 1,500V at 250 kVA for medium voltage.
Research used silicon carbide and heat pipes to improve cooling and cut aluminium use.
The ‘MSLeiKra’ project cuts copper usage by 700kg per km cable.
Medium-voltage PV inverters require new standards to be adopted.
