Materials for solar inverters - Fabrico

The materials help manage the thermal loads found in solar inverters.
Oct. 30, 2011

Electrical insulation, heat dissipation, and EMC/EMI materials can be custom manufactured for solar inverters. Discrete or multilayer insulation products can be tailored for dielectric strength, temperature resistance, and resistance to tearing and puncturing during assembly. Materials include electrical grade papers, films, coated cloths, laminates, and tapes for core, barrier, layer, and magnetic wire insulation; lead pads; and phase separators.

Thermal management materials including foil tapes, metal-filled elastomers, and wire mesh help transfer heat away from components. Electrical tape with aluminum and copper backings for grounding, bonding, and EMI shielding as well as conductive and nonconductive adhesive systems are available as is, custom die-cut, or laminated to other materials.
