Germantown, WI - July 2011 - WAGO
Corporation's new Feedthrough Current Sensors continuously measure DC
currents to optimize photovoltaic (PV) energy production. Via serial
connection, the 789-620 (0-80A DC) and 789-621 (0-140A DC) sensors
transmit data with an accuracy of 0.5% (full scale value). This can be
used to quickly identify defective or damaged PV modules, bolstering
performance and reliability.
Equipped with dual RJ-45 interfaces,
the sensors transmit data via RS-485 serial communication lines up to
4000 feet. Thirty-two Current Sensors can reside on one line for
connection to the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM or PC as a MODBUS Slave. The 789
Series feedthrough configuration eliminates the need to terminate
conductors, simplifying commissioning. Both models are addressable via
on-unit DIP switch and feature an operational status LED. Engineered
for harsh environments, the sensors operate in temperatures of -20°C to
+70°C.
Shine On:
The 789 Series Sensors join WAGO's
solar portfolio, which includes solar tracking for PV and concentrated
solar applications via WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM. 828 Series lever-operated,
feedthrough terminal blocks serve solar inverters.
WAGO solar applications include 758
Series IPCs managing solar energy for Tūranor PlanetSolar. The
catamaran is attempting to be the first solar-powered global
circumnavigation via vessel: http://www.planetsolar.org/
WAGO is the leader in spring
pressure connection technology that eliminates loose wires resulting
from vibration and temperature cycling, while providing highly
reliable, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free connections.
Products: DIN-rail, PCB and chassis mount terminal blocks; signal
conditioners; the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM and more.
