Selectronic are a power electronics manufacturer that has been operating since 1964 and for the past 30 years, has been specifically developing innovative solutions for the renewables industry.

The Challenge

Designing and developing power electronics products presents interesting challenges for a manufacturer. One of the primary challenges is the inherent difficulty in predicting how a circuit, machine or system will perform when exposed to a variety of environmental, electrical & operational conditions that may occur in its intended operating environment. Manufacturers invest significantly in test equipment designed to simulate those environments and conditions. Selectronic have implemented a wide range of quality control and testing procedures to ensure the reliability of their inverter products. Fuseco were engaged to assist Selectronic improve their testing capabilities.

The Solution

Fuseco analysed Selectronic’s requirements and selected ITECH’s IT7900P and IT6000C units with Solar Array Simulator software to assist them in developing and testing their inverter functions.

During the testing process, the inverter is connected to multiple ITECH units each simulating different conditions to help them develop and test their functionality.

The benefit of using ITECH’s equipment is that it allows Selectronic to have full control over testing parameters, enabling the simulation of any PV, grid and load conditions.

The Outcome

Selectronic was happy with the technical advice provided by Fuseco.

“The products supplied by Fuseco are performing very well,” commented Scott Hayward, Senior Hardware Engineer at Selectronic.

“Originally, we had ideas; very firm ideas, about what the products would need to do. Since then, we’ve extended even that; even the requirements that we had initially and the equipment has still performed very, very well.”

“On the occasional time, in the instances we have had issues, we’ve reached out to Fuseco and Fuseco has either directly or through ITECH given us the support that we needed to resolve those issues. We’d be happy using ITECH equipment into the future.”

Upgrading to the Asterion power supply system has given us significant more testing capability and flexibility. It has been a wise investment. Thank you for your advice and support.

Buying the MX45 California Instruments power source has given us enhanced testing capabilities. We have the SNK option, which is a bidirectional sink option. We are now able to simulate all grid conditions in our lab environment up to 45kVA. For me, reliability is important and I’m happy to say that we have been using this device for many years without any issues.

We have several Sorensen power supplies in our lab and they are the lowest output noise power supply we have experienced. For any critical research project where output noise and line/load regulations are important, we use only Sorensen power supplies.
