PV Series – Ultra-Wide Input DC-DC Converters

PV Series Ultra-Wide Input DC-DC Converters

Relec now has 1000V, and 1500V PV Series DC-DC Converters for Industrial and Solar Array Applications.

Relec Electronics is pleased to announce the availability of the PV Series; 2 families of very wide input DC-DC Converters. With input ranges covering 100 – 1000V DC (PVxx-27BxxR2) & 200 – 1500V DC (PVxx-29xx) the PV Series has primarily been designed as a building block for use in photovoltaic array combination units.

Harnessing Sustainable Solar Energy Effectively

Using Solar Panels, or arrays, to absorb sunlight to convert it into electricity brings many challenges in order to create, and economically viable and sustainable source of power. Not least of the challenges is a sufficiently robust and flexible DC-DC Converter to deal with the full output voltage from the photovoltaic array (PV).

Significant savings can be made by a series connection of arrays (lower copper losses). A DC-DC Converter that can cope with the full output voltage from these arrays can be used to form the basis of the control system.

Wide-Range of Output Voltages & Power Ranges

The PV Series are available in various output voltages and power ranges from 5W to 40W with modules having the following features:

Wide-Range of Applications – not just Solar Energy

The PV Series are not just suitable for Solar Arrays. The wide-input range and isolation levels make them suitable for use a wide variety of industrial applications, as front end power supply components covering both single and 3 phase voltages.
