Danfoss DLX UL PV Inverters Feature Flexible and User-Friendly Design
Danfoss Solar Inverters has introduced the Danfoss DLX UL PV inverter series. These transformer-based UL and cUL-listed string inverters deliver industry leading 97.3% efficiency to maximize the effectiveness of solar power applications. Galvanic isolation ensures full compatibility with all PV cell technologies. Convection cooling helps minimize noise (<37db) and ensures long life and reliable operation even when subjected to temperatures ranging from -25°C….65°C / -13°F…+149°F. The IP65-rated die cast aluminum housing is well suited for indoor or outdoor mounting.

The lightweight 42 - 46 lb. design makes them easy to handle and mount by one person, and a two-way interactive display provides multiple language options for quick and easy country configuration. They also provide fully integrated on or off site monitoring capability with no special software required, and are ConnectSmart™-compliant to enable real time monitoring with a smartphone, tablet or computer. 2.0, 2.9, 3.8 and 4.4kW models are available to satisfy a wide range of application needs.
“The DLX running on US grid delivers the performance, flexibility and user-friendliness to simplify installation and operation while absolutely maximizing energy yield in a wide range of solar power applications,” says Uffe Borup, Director of Technology. “In addition to the benefits mentioned above, each unit has a full-color screen with an intuitive user-interface that provides ready access to graphs and diagrams that help operators make timely and informed decisions. And for larger sites, a single DLX inverter can serve as a monitoring hub that provides a single point of access for on site or off site performance checks at any time.”

The DLX can be used together with the Danfoss CLX Portal, a universal internet monitoring system which provides access to key information for end customers, investors, installers and service companies. Additionally the DLX inverter features ConnectSmart. “Via ConnectSmart the installer or plant owner can use the Danfoss SolarApp to directly access live production data. It is a simple and uncluttered way of keeping track of production, revenue and saved CO2 emission – giving a real time visualization of the savings generated by the installation,” says Merete Termansen, Product Manager Monitoring and Communication.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
