Abstract: A self-adapting soft-starter device includes an electric current limiter limiting electric current supplied to the motor to a preset maximum current limit, a ramp-up time determiner determining the actual ramp-up time of the electric motor, a storing device storing a preset minimum ramp-up time, a comparator comparing the determined actual ramp-up time with the preset reference ramp-up time, a replacing device replacing the preset maximum current limit with an auto-adapted current limit based upon the outcome of the comparison between the determined actual ramp-up time and the preset reference ramp-up time. The soft-starter automatically optimizes the maximum current limit driven by the motor to match its load requirements which is useful to cater for load variations with time during the lifetime of the product in the application by avoiding the need for human intervention to change the soft-starter settings. Wear and tear is also reduced, extending motor lifetime.

Abstract: Control apparatus 1 for photovoltaic modules 3 which can be connected to one or more photovoltaic modules 3. The control apparatus is able to check for the proper working of the solar modules, and also to collect all electrical data like voltage, current, power, energy in order to calculate also the efficiency of the plant. Up to 16 modules can be used (including a master controller, temperature measurement modules, output modules, input modules) and they are interconnected by using a bus system which does not require any wire. A base level consist of one master controller module and one or more input modules. An extended system includes also additional modules, like measurement of temperatures or relay outputs.

Abstract: Multi-functional container for electric and/or electronic apparatuses comprising a front face, with a first compartment, to house at least one component (16) of the electric and/or electronic apparatus. The container comprises an opposite rear face having first attachment means (34) suitable to attach the container on guide means of a standardized type (36) in a first installation configuration. The multi-functional container also comprises second attachment means (42), suitable to attach the container in a second installation configuration inserted, at least partly, in a housing seating with the front face disposed toward the inside of the housing seating, and a second compartment, suitable to house the component (16) and disposed on the rear face.
