Battery Cabinet

Battery Cabinet Custom build – double cabinet ,outdoor cabinet mild steel,20-Way Cabinet,8-Way Cabinet,4-Way cabinet Battery box stores or houses a battery, typically a lead–acid battery. Battery boxes are typically constructed in two parts, a base and a lid. The base serves as a containment reservoir to prevent the batteries from shifting during transportation and to collect spilled electrolyte from wet cell lead-acid batteries. The lid allows for access to the batteries for performing battery maintenance (i.e. cleaning battery terminals) or altering the battery cable configuration, and protects batteries from environmental elements such as sunlight (UV), rain, salt water, dirt, oil, and gasoline. Battery boxes are commonly used in applications where batteries need to left in an outside environment or where the batteries could be subject to water or other elements.

During any type of power interruption, battery cabinets provide emergency DC power to the UPS, protecting operation of the critical load.

Gamatronic’s wide range of battery cabinets are designed to be used with the company’s line of UPS systems and require minimum maintenance.

Connectors

Connectors By definition, connectors have the distinct ability to join, or fasten, two or more components together. Each component may function individually, but using various types of available connector allow for the components to function together. Choosing the proper connector for a specific project will be as simple or as complex as the project itself. Different connector will serve various functions according to the components they are connecting. Connectors are used in everyday life, even though we may not think about them. Cable, coaxial, RF, and USB are just a few examples of common connector used in the home. Connecting a DVD player, stereo, and surround system to your television is an example of how we use electronic connector in everyday life. Home use of connector may be most common to many of us, but that doesn’t mean connectors aren’t used for other purposes as well. Passing through the checkout counter at your local grocery store is a simple example. Not all commercial connector are as simple. More complex connector are used by the aerospace industry. These complex connector are created with precision for the intricacy of the component they are joining. Industrial connector, though simplistic in nature, must meet specific requirements and regulations set forth by each specific industry. Industrial connector are often specialized to meet intense environmental conditions such as high temperatures, high altitudes, high pressures, and high voltages. Many generic connector can be purchased at a local hardware store. While this may be appropriate for our home use, commercial and industrial connector are often specialized for each project. The materials, finishes, and format are only a few examples of things to consider when making an informed purchase. When choosing a material for connector there are numerous options including aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and composite thermoplastic. Brass is the least conductive of the materials, making brass one of the more common materials used for connectors. On the other hand, composite thermoplastic is not as common, often needing to be specialized by project for proper usage. Usually a good rule of thumb is that the cheaper the connector, the more common the material used in its creation. Among the numerous finishes available today is cadmium, electroless nickel, zinc cobalt, zinc nickel, and passivate. The most common finish for connectors is electroless nickel, or nickel plate. This finish works very well for many common use connectors, but for higher quality connector, electroless nickel may not be the first choice.

Advantages of Grid-Tied Systems

1. Save more money with net metering

A grid-connection will allow you to save more money with solar panels through better efficiency rates, net metering, plus lower equipment and installation costs: Batteries, and other stand-alone equipment, are required for a fully functional off-grid solar system and add to costs as well as maintenance. Grid-tied solar systems are therefore generally cheaper and simpler to install. Your solar panels will often generate more electricity than what you are capable of consuming. With net metering, homeowners can put this excess electricity onto the utility grid instead of storing it themselves with batteries. Net metering (or feed-in tariff schemes in some countries) play an important role in how solar power is incentivized. Without it, residential solar systems would be much less feasible from a financial point of view. Many utility companies are committed to buying electricity from homeowners at the same rate as they sell it themselves.  

2. The utility grid is a virtual battery

Electricity has to be spent in real time. However, it can be temporarily stored as other forms of energy (e.g. chemical energy in batteries). Energy storage typically comes with significant losses. The electric power grid is in many ways also a battery, without the need for maintenance or replacements, and with much better efficiency rates. In other words, more electricity (and more money) goes to waste with conventional battery systems.

Inverters (Grid - Tied)

Inverters (Grid - Tied)

Grid-Tie Inverter (GTI)

What is the job of a solar inverter? They regulate the voltage and current received from your solar panels. Direct current (DC) from your solar panels is converted into alternating current (AC), which is the type of current that is utilized by the majority of electrical appliances. In addition to this, grid-tie inverters, also known as grid-interactive or synchronous inverters, synchronize the phase and frequency of the current to fit the utility grid (nominally 60Hz). The output voltage is also adjusted slightly higher than the grid voltage in order for excess electricity to flow outwards to the grid. Inverters are an important part of any solar installation; they are the brains of the system. Although the inverter’s main job is to convert DC power produced by the solar array into usable AC power, its role is only expanding. Inverters enable monitoring so installers and owners can see how a system is performing. Inverters can also provide diagnostic information to help O&M crews identify and fix system issues. These important components are increasingly taking on decision-making and control functions to help improve grid stability and efficiency. With the growth of solar+storage, inverters are also taking on responsibility for battery management. Here is a look at some different types of solar inverters.

There are, however, some people that choose to live off the grid.

Off Grid System

Off Grid System OFF-GRID POWER SYSTEMS When the utility power is unavailable or too expensive to bring in to your home or cabin, solar panels allow you to be your own utility company!  You can live in peace, with no noisy gas generator to disturb the quiet.  There are several variations of off-grid solar power, depending on your needs and budget. All variations of off-grid solar power depend on solar electric panels and store electricity in a bank of batteries.

Off-grid DC Solar Power Systems DC off-grid solar power systems are most often used to power DC appliances in  RV’s, boats, and cabins, as well as farm/ranch appliances like cattle gates and rural telecommunications systems when utility power is not accessible DC solar power is less expensive than AC solar power because an inverter is not required to convert the electricity produced by solar panels and stored in batteries from DC to AC.   But DC solar power does NOT power standard AC appliances..

How Outdoor solar lighting systems Work

Photovoltaic cells absorb sunlight during the day to charge the batteries, which then light the bulb at night. Because outdoor solar lights are powered by the sun, they must be placed in an area that receives full sun — ideally eight or more hours per day.

Solar Panels

Solar Panels Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells,Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells,Thin-Film Solar Cells,Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells, Here are some good reasons for using solar energy to power your home. 1. Cut-down electricity bill The key reason that most households convert their power source to solar energy is to cut down their electrical bill because the electrical usage generated from the sun is free. By converting as many home appliances as possible to use solar energy, you can save a significant savings in your utilities expenses. 2. It is a renewable energy source Typical electricity is generated from fossil fuel that will run out one day. Solar energy is a good alternative to replace fossil fuel as the major energy source because solar power is renewable at absolutely no cost to supply energy infinitely. 3. Environment friendly The world pollution is getting worse. Any effort that can reduce the pollution to the environment helps to save the earth. Solar panels are able to harness the energy from the sun and convert it to electricity. Therefore, the use of solar panels is environment friendly. Therefore, solar energy that is harmless to the environment will be the major energy source for future - starting today. 4. Low / no maintenance needed Once you have installed the solar power system, it can last twenty to thirty years without major maintenance needed. You may need to do system check once a year, just to make sure everything is performing as it should. Since it requires very minimum maintenance cost, your cost should be minimal.

Solar-DC Pumps

Solar-DC Pumps A solar-powered pump is a pump running on electricity generated by photovoltaic panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity or diesel run water pumps.The operation of solar powered pumps is more economical mainly due to the lower operation and maintenance costs and has less environmental impact than pumps powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE). Solar pumps are useful where grid electricity is unavailable and alternative sources (in particular wind) do not provide sufficient energy. The solar panels make up most (up to 80%) of the systems cost.The size of the PV-system is directly dependent on the size of the pump, the amount of water that is required (m³/d) and the solar irradiance available. The purpose of the controller is twofold. Firstly, it matches the output power that the pump receives with the input power available from the solar panels. Secondly, a controller usually provides a low voltage protection, whereby the system is switched off, if the voltage is too low or too high for the operating voltage range of the pump. This increases the lifetime of the pump thus reducing the need for maintenance. Voltage of the solar pump motors can be AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current). Direct current motors are used for small to medium applications up to about 3 kW rating, and are suitable for applications such as garden fountains, landscaping, drinking water for livestock, or small irrigation projects. Since DC systems tend to have overall higher efficiency levels than AC pumps of a similar size, the costs are reduced as smaller solar panels can be used.
