Hardware descriptionContents of this chapterThis chapter provides an overview of the PVS-175 medium voltage station (MVS). It alsoincludes layout, type designation label and type designation information.Product overviewThe PVS-175 medium voltage station connects a group of inverters to a medium voltagepower grid. This solution is constructed around a skid house that contains:• MV transformer—transforms low voltage from inverters to medium voltage for thepower grid.• Auxiliary service transformer—supplies power to the AC cabinet and auxiliarycomponents of the MVS.• MV switchgear—connects to the power grid. It is also the main protecting, switching,breaking and disconnecting equipment of the medium-voltage side of the solar powerplant.• AC cabinet—contains all parallel connections to the inverter inputs and the auxiliaryservice boards (required for the autonomous function of the MVS). Note that the ACcabinet also includes an additional space for customer use (e.g. communication board,etc.).• Free area—for optional customer communication board and UPS.External dimensionsThe MVS is constructed over a skid suitable for transportation inside a 20 HC containerwith,• External dimension (length, width, height) = 6060 x 2450 x 2900 mm• Total weight = 15 ton.2Hardware description 15
