The Fronius Galvo is a high frequency transformer, single-phase inverter available in power categories from 1.5 to 3.1 kW.
Its light -weight, low-profile design and innovative hinged mounting system allows for single-person installation in under
15 minutes and simple field servicing. It comes equipped with built-in wireless monitoring, arc fault protection and
supports third-party interfaces.
The Fronius Galvo is future-proof because the plug-in card technology enables functions to be retrofitted at a later date. The
Fronius Galvo also comes with advanced grid features, such as reactive and effective power control, voltage-dependent
power manipulation and BUS master functions; smart grid features that go beyond the required standards to ensure
optimal operation with tomorrow’s grid and information infrastructure.
