Abstract: Photovoltaic apparatus comprising an auxiliary power supply arrangement which is adapted to feed an electric load of the photovoltaic apparatus itself and comprises: first electronic means connected with a DC power source and comprising a first electronic unit adapted to receive a first feeding voltage and provide a first output voltage of DC type; second electronic means connected with an AC power source and comprising a second electronic unit adapted to receive a second feeding voltage and provide a second output voltage of DC type; and third electronic means connected with the first and second electronic means and adapted to reversibly switch among different operation states based on the status of the electric power sources.

Abstract: A method for testing an electric system and an electric system comprising a first inverter (10) and one or more second inverters (11, 12, 1N), and control means (40) configured to start the first inverter (10), provide and sustain with the first inverter (10) an AC voltage of a predetermined magnitude and a predetermined frequency at an AC output of the first inverter, start at least one second inverter (11, 12, 1N), and supply with the first inverter (10) reactive power to the started at least one second inverter (11, 12, 1N).

Abstract: An electrical assembly comprising a first control system adapted to control a power conversion system, a sensor system adapted to detect conditions relating to the first control system, the conditions comprising temperature and/or humidity, and a heating system adapted to heat the first control system of the electrical assembly. The electrical assembly further comprises a second control system which is adapted to receive information from the sensor system and in connection with turning on the electrical assembly to selectively turn on the first control system and/or the heating system based on conditions relating to the first control system.

Abstract: A cooled power conversion assembly comprising a first chamber, a second chamber at least partially separated from the first chamber, at least one first type device located in the first chamber, at least one second type device located in the second chamber, and cooling means comprising a first cooling element and a second cooling element. The first cooling element is adapted to transfer heat out of the first chamber, and the second cooling element is adapted to transfer heat out of the second chamber. The first cooling element is in direct contact with the at least one first type device, and the second cooling element is in a heat transfer connection with the at least one second type device through a gaseous cooling medium.
