longer-lasting technology while keeping turbines online
LIVONIA, Michigan – PSI Repair Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, introduced a new, cost-effective replacement today for obsolete Xantrex™ Matrix Inverters found in GE 1.5 MW S Series wind turbines. PSI’s replacement inverter is a form, fit and function solution with advanced fault detection and higher efficiency parts than the OEM design. The drop-in replacement inverter allows wind farms to supplement their inventory with more reliable, longer-lasting technology while keeping their turbines online. PSI also offers repair services for Xantrex Matrix Inverters from GE 1.5MW S Series wind turbines.
“Several wind farm customers told us that they weren’t getting any support for Xantrex Matrix Inverters from the OEM, so we challenged our engineers to come up with a solution,” said Mike Fitzpatrick, General Manager of PSI Repair Services, Inc. “PSI takes great pride in offering innovative, cost-saving solutions for our customers in the wind energy industry.”
