Lenze AC Tech has developed 8200 Vector Inverters using the 'cold plate' technique for cases where the inverter can be mounted directly onto a substantial heatsink. Lenze 8200 vector inverters are available for power 0.55 to 90kW with three-phase supply. In the more popular smaller sizes up to 22kW, a space saving variant can reduce the requirement for panel space by up to 40%. By dissipating the heat outside the cabinet, these 'cold plate' versions enable panels to have higher …
