Open Source Inverter
Short description | Specifications |
---|
Product Ecology |
3D printing produces the plastic insulators and structure, Open Source Screw Machine (CNC Multimachine)) produces screws and heatsinks, Induction Furnace provides metal from scrap, such as Zinc-Aluminum Alloy. D3D CNC Circuit Mill can produce the circuits, such as for a Minimalist Arduino or an off-shelf Arduino Mega. |

OSHWA and OSI compliant. CC-BY-SA-4.0 International, GPLv3, DIN SPEC 3105. |
---|
Arduino Mega brain |
Mega with LCD is used as in Universal Controller |
---|
Power Modules |
Based on Power Panel concept of modular, air-cooled power transistor units. |
---|
Key Specification |
Scalability from 1-50kW |
---|
Construction |
3D printed parts + COTS arduino, metal case. Terminal blocks for input and output. Cooling part is electrically isolated, via plastic base mount. |
---|
Productivity |
Relevant to small and large power applications from small off-grid power units such as the Solar Power Station to Open Source PV System, and power for larger, autonomous facilities. |
