The history of Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric, founded in 1836, has transformed itself into the global specialist in energy management. From its roots in the iron and steel industry, heavy machinery, and ship building, it moved into electricity and automation management. In the late 20th century the Schneider Group shifted its focus to the electrical industry by separating from its non-strategic activities and was solidified though its acquisitions of Telemecanique in 1988, Square D
TM
in
1991 and Merlin Gerin in 1992. In 1999 development of installation, systems and control was bolstered with the acquisition of Lexel, Europe’s number two in electrical distribution. In May of the same year, the company was renamed Schneider Electric to more clearly emphasize its expertise in the electrical field.
From 2000 through 2009 Schneider Electric entered into a phase of organic growth and began positioning itself in new market segments: UPS (uninterruptible power supply), movement control, building automation and security and renewable energy through the acquisitions of APC, Clipsal,
TAC, Pelco, Xantrex Technology and more. As a global specialist in energy management with operations in more than 100 countries, Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions across multiple market segments, including leadership positions in energy and infrastructure, industrial processes, building automation, and data centers/ networks, as well as a broad presence in residential applications. Focused on making energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green, the company's 100,000 plus employees achieved sales of 15.8 billion euros in
2009, through an active commitment to help individuals and organizations "Make the most of their energy ™ ."
Renewable Energies
In October of 2008, with Schneider Electric’s purchase of Xantrex Technology, a significant milestone was reached in the company’s expansion into the renewable energies sector. Combining Xantrex’s knowledge and expertise in renewable energies and Schneider Electric’s depth of experience in energy management was critical for the future success of the organization in this space.
The renewable energies business of Schneider Electric is focused on designing and developing renewable energy products and solutions and providing best-in-class, global customer service and technical support.
> About Schneider Electric
Make the most of your energy
Schneider Electric provides the full solution from the panel
DC output to the grid connection, including monitoring
& supervision. In 2009, Schneider Electric introduced a customizable solution geared to photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The Schneider Electric PV Box is a pre-wired equipment package specifically designed to meet the growing demand of large scale grid-tied solar farms and large commercial rooftop solar installations. The PV Box is a complete solution for electrical distribution, automation, security, monitoring and control available from one vendor.
A PV Box typically consists of solar inverters, DC combiner boxes, step-up transformers and a medium voltage switch housed in a prefabricated building to allow quick field wiring from both the solar arrays and the utility grid connection point. Other items can be added to the package including climate controls, security equipment, array string monitoring, SCADA monitoring equipment, and power metering, accompanied by operation and maintenance offerings.
With the PV Box, customers can significantly reduce total electrical installation costs and project cycle time. This product offers customers a reliable and complete solution from a company with over 100 years of experience designing electrical distribution and control systems.
In addition, because the PV Box enclosure provides a controlled environment for its components, it can be installed in a variety of climates, including harsh desert environments where many future large scale solar projects are planned.

Basic grid-tie system
A basic grid-tie system consists of solar cells and a grid tie inverter. Solar cells take the sun’s energy and turn it into DC electricity. The inverter turns the DC electricity generated by the solar cells into utility grade AC power which can be sold to the utility grid. A grid-tie system is an effective way to obtain economical benefits, increase green energy production and improve the environment.
Large-scale solar electrical systems play an important part in conservation and energy production, and Schneider Electric is a premier supplier of inverters that turn the sun’s energy into clean electricity. Grid tie inverters are a leading choice for large-scale solar installations in Europe.

Basic off-grid system
With an off-grid system, you can easily produce your own power without the expense and environmental impact of extending power lines, or relying completely on a generator.
A basic off-grid system consists of a renewable energy source, which generates DC power, a battery bank that stores the DC power, and an inverter. Our inverter is the intelligent center of a renewable power system, seamlessly converting DC power to clean AC electricity for your needs.
With a backup system, grid-connected homes can benefit from electricity even if there is a grid failure. An inverter/charger automatically detects the failure and instantly switches to backup power stored in a battery bank that stores the DC power.

Alternating current (AC)
The type of electricity supplied by the utility company.
The unique characteristic of this form of electricity is that it reverses direction at regular intervals. For example,
230 Vac 50 Hz power reverses flow 50 times a second, hence the rating 50 Hz (cycles).
Amp (A)
A unit of measure of the flow of electrical current.
Amp hour (Ah)
One amp of electrical current flowing for one hour.
The unit Ah is an expression of the capacity (size) of a battery.
Current
The rate of flow of electric charge, usually expressed in amps (or amperes).
Direct current (DC)
The type of electricity stored in batteries and generated by solar electric devices. Current flows in a single direction.
Electrolyte
A conductive medium in which the flow of electricity takes place; this is the liquid found inside storage batteries.
Grid
When used in reference to utility power, it refers to a system of electrical transmission and distribution lines.
Off-grid
An electrical system that is not connected to a utility distribution grid.
Ground fault protection (GFP)
A shock hazard protection device that limits the flow of electrical current to earth. Usually required in wet locations, e.g. for outdoor, kitchen, and bathroom circuits.
Hertz (Hz)
The frequency, or number of times per second, that the flow of AC electricity reverses itself. Also referred to as cycles (see alternating current).
High battery voltage protection
A control circuit that disconnects charge current flowing to the battery before voltage reaches a dangerously high threshold. Prevents damage created by excess gassing
(or boiling) of electrolyte.
Idle current
The amount of electrical current required to keep an inverter ready to produce electricity on demand.
Inrush current
The peak current an appliance or tool will draw at the instant it starts up.
Kilowatt (kW)
One thousand watts of electricity. Ten 100-watt light bulbs use one kW of electrical power.
Kilowatt hour (kWh)
One kW of electrical power used for one hour. Most grid connected electrical meters measure kWh for billing purposes.
> Glossary of terms
Line loss
A voltage drop caused by resistance in wire during transmission of electrical power over distance.
Load
Any device that consumes electricity to operate.
Appliances, tools, and lights are examples of electrical loads.
Low battery protection
A control circuit that stops the flow of electricity from batteries to loads when battery voltage drops to low levels.
Modified sine wave
Also called a modified square wave, this type of waveform emulates a sine wave using a series of steps.
Overload/overcurrent protection
A control circuit designed to protect an inverter, load, or wiring against current exceeding its capacity. (A fuse, for example, is an overcurrent protection device.)
Parallel wiring
Batteries or PV modules, wired together to increase ampacity, while voltage remains constant.
Two 100 Ah 12 Vdc batteries wired in parallel will form a 200 Ah 12 Vdc battery bank.
Photovoltaic (PV) array
A group of solar (PV) panels connected together to convert energy from sunlight into DC electrical energy.
Sine wave
The type of AC waveform produced by the utility or by most generators.
Series wiring
Batteries or PV modules wired together to increase voltage, while ampacity remains constant. Two 100 Ah
12 Vdc batteries wired in series form a 100 Ah 24 Vdc battery bank.
Surge capacity
The amount of current an inverter can deliver for short periods of time. For example, electric motors draw up to
6 times their rated current while starting. An inverter will provide surge current to meet the start-up requirements of motors or other loads with high inrush current.
Transfer switch
A switch designed to transfer electricity being supplied to loads from one source of power to another.
Volts (V)
A unit of measure of voltage, which is the electromotive force or electric potential difference between two points in a circuit.
Watt(s) (W)
A unit of measure of the amount of electrical power consumed by a load or supplied by a source such as the grid or an inverter.
Watts = volts x amps x power factor
Watt hour (Wh)
Electrical energy consumption or capacity measured in terms of time. One watt hour of electricity is equal to one watt of power being consumed for one hour.
