Stepless In-Line Magnetic Grid Stabiliser for Photovoltaic - MPV

Regarding the German “Energiewende”, there is a strong demand for new solutions with stabilizer
to achieve more flexible and higher performing grids. The MPV is installed on a feeder to

counter the problems of voltage rise due to power from Photo Voltaic or any other
distributed generation source. The Magtech patented MCI “Magtech Controllable CONTINUOUS STEPLESS STABILIZATION: MPV with
Inductance” technology used in the magnetic circuits modulates the voltage level as a continuous stepless stabilization gives higher power
function of the varying power flow to reduce the “downstream” voltage. Function of capacity, reduced rapid voltage changes and better
voltage reduction is preset in factory, and, once operating, the units need no further customer voltage quality ref. EN50160
adjustment. The exemplary reliability and long life (40 yrs) of the sealed copper/iron
system is the same as a normal transformer. The system has high efficiency in operation,
and when no regulation is required, it automatically changes to by-pass mode. The rapid Technical data MPV130-400 MPV260-400
reaction time of the system ensures good supply quality in all power flow conditions.
