Which part of a solar array connects to a step-up transformer?

Inverters are the part of the solar array that connects to the step-up transformer. Inverters convert DC generated solar power into AC. They handle the wide swings in power supplied from the solar array. They also steady the voltage supplied to the step-up transformer.

What voltage is used in a solar transformer?

You'll usually find 690V used with larger MW-scale solar sites or wind generation. 800V is usually used with European inverter manufacturers. Due to the remote nature of many renewable projects, solar transformers are often outfitted with alarm contacts on the gauges.

What is a bi-directional solar transformer?

The transformer plays the role of a step up and step down unit. This is why the term bi-directional often appears on solar equipment. All transformers are by nature bi-directional as far as power flow goes. Current may be fed from either winding. By itself, this term does nothing more than define a normal transformer.

Why do transformers need an electrostatic shield?

These power disruptions cause voltage spikes and impulse-like effects in the high voltage winding. Such power disruptions can wreak havoc at the transformer and downwind on the grid. An electrostatic shield between the high voltage and low voltage transformer windings eliminates this problem.
