Solid-State Frequency Converters vs. Rotary Generator Sets

Nova Electric designs and manufactures only advanced, Solid-State type frequency converters. Solid-State converters are superior to the old-fashioned rotary generator sets in several ways, including:

1)       Reliability: Unlike rotary generator sets, Solid-State frequency converters have no moving parts to wear out or break. The result is higher dependability, longer MTBF, and shorter MTTR.

2)       Maintenance Costs: Those moving parts in the rotary generator sets have to be serviced and maintained on a regular basis, or the risk of premature failure increases even further. Solid-State converters require no such maintenance, dramatically reducing the cost of the converter over its useful life.

3)       Noise: Since Solid-State converters have no moving mechanical parts generating a loud racket, the only sounds heard from the unit come from the small cooling fans and the transformer. The result is very quiet operation – typically 55 dBA at 5 feet distance.

4)       Size: Typically, Solid-State converters of any given power output rating are much smaller and lighter than rotary generator sets of the same power output rating.
