WHAT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHEN CHOOSING ONE? Surge Protective Device SPD is a solution designed to protect electrical and electronic critical loads from power surges and voltage spikes. But, it is essential to take into consideration the following aspects when choosing one: Grounding: SPDs will only be as effective as their grounding installation conditions. Older sites or facilities with inadequate wiring and grounding will not benefit from an SPD without the necessary upgrades. Even the best SPD will fail if there is no proper current escape path through the ground. Listing: SPDs must have been independently designed, tested, and certified to the latest editions of IEC 61643-11 and/or UL 1449 Ed. 4. This provides the user of the product with the peace of mind that they will perform safely in the application, and they will also work based on the ratings provided. Both standards have strict tests that are not easy to pass but are essential to ensure that the product is well-designed for safe behavior and effective protection performance. But how can you know? The quality and performance of SPDs are difficult for a customer to assess. The correct functioning can only be verified in suitable laboratories. Apart from the external appearance, only the technical data provided by the manufacturer can serve as a guide. Even more important is a reliable declaration from the manufacturer and the certification and approval regarding the performance of the SPD and the execution of the tests specified in the respective product standard, such as IEC 61643-11 or UL 1449 Ed. 4 mentioned before. Location: In this case, while the ANSI/IEEE C62.41 standard has classified the critical load location environment as Categories, C (service entrance), B (distribution boards), and A (outlets), the IEC standard 62305-4 describes or categorizes critical load locations as Protection Zone Concepts called Lightning Protection Zones (LPZs). LPZs can be divided into two categories: 2 external zones (LPZ 0A, LPZ 0B) and typically two internal zones (LPZ 1, LPZ 2), although more zones can be introduced if required. Coordination of SPDs: For the former two location standards, complete protection is possible when SPDs are installed in a "coordinated" manner. Coordinated SPDs means that several SPDs installed on a structure (from the heavy-duty SPD at the service entrance, C or LPZ0, to the SPD for terminal equipment protection A/B or LPZ2/1) must complement each other so that all transient effects of AC or DC hazardous energy are completely nullified. We want to leave an open discussion: Is there one standard more demanding than another in terms of safety and location? Are you aware of electrical permits or local rules that may avoid using an IEC 61643-11 approved SPD in America or vice versa: UL 1449 used in Eurasia?

EVERYTHING ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL CONVERTERS Industrial AC-DC rectifier systems , whether SCR-based low-frequency or modular high-frequency types, convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) to charge batteries and power industrial DC loads for telecommunications, data centers, and electrical substations. These systems generate a wealth of operational data, such as voltage, current, temperature, battery state of charge, fault codes, and breaker status, which are transmitted via communication interfaces such as RS-485 or RS-232 and displayed on an integrated digital display. They also allow for external commands, such as shutting down the system in emergencies or changing the charging mode. However, integrating this data into external systems, such as computer workstations or remote networks, creates confusion due to the variety of communication protocols required, depending on the region, application, or local culture, such as Modbus, SNMP, DNP3, IEC61850, and TCP/IP. This is the reason for writing this White Paper. Manufacturers offer protocol converters to facilitate this integration. However, users often face difficulties when trying to replicate the display's functionality on other devices. Then we want to make clear our role: Avoiding confusion in the AC to DC Rectifier market. This post explains the differences between these communication protocols, reasons for choosing one over the other, confusion surrounding protocol names, the scope of protocol converters, and the responsibilities of manufacturers and users. 1. Communication Protocols in Industrial Rectifiers. Industrial rectifiers use communication interfaces to transmit operational data and receive commands. The most common protocols and their characteristics are described below: RS-485 and RS-232. Description: These are serial communication standards. RS-232 is ideal for short distances (up to 15 meters) and point-to-point connections, while RS-485 supports longer distances (up to 1200 meters) and multiple devices on a single line (multidrop topology). Use in rectifiers: Most rectifiers use RS-485 due to its robustness and ability to connect multiple devices. RS-232 is less common but is used in simpler applications. Example: A rectifier sends voltage and current data via RS-485 to a digital display or local monitoring system. MODBUS. Description: This is a serial communication protocol widely used in industrial automation. It can operate over RS-485 (Modbus RTU) or TCP/IP networks (Modbus TCP). It defines how data is structured and transmitted between devices. Use in rectifiers: This is the most common protocol for rectifiers, allowing data such as battery charge status or fault codes to be transmitted simply and reliably. Advantages: It is easy to implement, compatible with many devices, and suitable for general industrial applications. TCP/IP. Description: This is the set of protocols that underpins the Internet, allowing communication between devices on IP networks. It can carry protocols such as Modbus TCP or SNMP. Use in rectifiers: Some modern rectifiers have Ethernet connectivity and use Modbus TCP to send data to remote systems. Advantages: Allows long-distance communication and scalability, ideal for integrating rectifiers into corporate networks or SCADA systems. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Description: This is a protocol for managing devices on IP networks, primarily used to monitor the status of equipment such as routers and servers. Use in rectifiers: Although not typical, some rectifiers can use SNMP to integrate with network management systems, reporting data such as system status. Advantages: It is useful in environments where rectifiers are part of a larger IT network. DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol 3). Description: This protocol is designed for the electrical industry, specifically for robust communications in harsh environments, such as substations. Use in rectifiers: It is used in energy applications where rectifiers are integrated into SCADA systems. Advantages: It is error-resistant and suitable for low-speed, high-reliability environments. IEC61850. Description: This is an international standard for electrical substation automation, defining how intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) communicate with each other and with control systems. Use in rectifiers: It is relevant in substations where rectifiers are part of a more complex automation system. Advantages: It offers an advanced structure for communication in highly complex environments. 2. Differences between Protocols and Communication Needs. Each protocol has a specific purpose and adapts to different needs: MODBUS vs. IEC61850: MODBUS: It is lightweight, simple, and suitable for general industrial applications where direct communication between devices is required. For example, a rectifier can send current data to a local controller using Modbus RTU over RS-485. IEC61850: It is more complex and designed for electrical substations, where multiple intelligent devices must interoperate. It is ideal for environments where structured and detailed communication is required. RS-485 vs. TCP/IP: RS-485: It is robust and suitable for industrial environments with electrical noise, but it is limited by physical distances and is not ideal for remote communication. TCP/IP: It allows communication over IP networks, which is useful for remote monitoring or integration with enterprise systems, but requires network infrastructure. SNMP vs. DNP3: SNMP: Focuses on network management and is more common in IT environments, not industrial rectifiers. DNP3: Is specific to the energy industry, offering robustness for critical applications such as substations. Reasons for choosing a protocol: Region and local standards: In Europe, IEC61850 is common in substations due to its adoption in the energy industry. In North America, DNP3 is more prevalent due to its historical use in SCADA systems. Specific application: For simple local monitoring, Modbus is sufficient. For complex substations, IEC61850 or DNP3 is preferable. Existing infrastructure: If a user already has a DNP3-based SCADA system, it makes sense to choose a rectifier compatible with that protocol or use a converter. 3. Confusion over Protocol Names. Confusion arises because some terms are used generically or overlap: MODBUS: Sometimes used to refer to any serial communication, it is a specific protocol that structures data over RS-485 or TCP/IP. TCP/IP: Not a single protocol, but a suite of protocols that includes applications such as Modbus TCP or SNMP. Users may confuse it with an application protocol. IEC61850 vs. DNP3: Both are standards for the power industry, but IEC61850 is more modern and geared toward substations, while DNP3 is older but still widely used in North America. This confusion is compounded when users attempt to replicate the rectifier's digital display functionality on external systems, such as workstations or remote networks, without understanding the protocol limitations or the need for converters. 4. Scope of Protocol Converters. Protocol converters are devices that translate data from one protocol to another, enabling interoperability between systems. Examples include: RS-485 (Modbus RTU) to IEC61850: Allows a Modbus-enabled rectifier to be integrated into a substation system using IEC61850. RS-485 to SNMP: Enables communication with grid management systems. RS-485 to DNP3: Facilitates integration with SCADA systems in the energy industry. Scope: Converters convert data between protocols, ensuring that rectifier information (such as voltage or charge status) is accessible in the required format. They can be physical devices or software embedded in the rectifier or an external system. Their configuration may require specific settings, such as data mapping or defining communication points. Limitations: Converters cannot generate data that the rectifier does not provide. For example, if the rectifier doesn't measure temperature, the converter can't measure it. The quality of the conversion depends on compatibility between the protocols and correct configuration by the user. 5. Manufacturer and User Responsibilities. Manufacturer's Responsibilities: Data Provision: Ensure that operating data (voltage, current, temperature, etc.) is available through interfaces such as RS-485 or RS-232, typically using Modbus. Digital Display: Provide a display that displays system data, with detailed graphics if necessary. Protocol Converters: Offer converters (or support for them) that allow integration with protocols such as IEC61850, DNP3, or SNMP, if the user requires it. Documentation: Provide clear manuals on how to access data and use the converters, including register maps for Modbus or other protocols. User Responsibilities: Protocol Selection: Choose the appropriate protocol based on your system's needs (e.g., Modbus for local monitoring, IEC61850 for substations). Converter Configuration: Configure protocol converters so that rectifier data is compatible with external systems. External Integration: Implement monitoring or control systems (such as workstations or SCADA) that use the data provided by the rectifier. Remote Data Management: If data is needed on remote networks or in other countries, the user must configure the network infrastructure (e.g., using TCP/IP) and ensure communication security. 6. Practical Example. Imagine an industrial rectifier in a substation that uses RS-485 with Modbus RTU to transmit data such as output voltage and battery charge status. The user needs to integrate this data into a SCADA system that uses DNP3. The manufacturer provides a Modbus RTU to DNP3 converter, which translates the rectifier data into the required format. The user configures the converter, maps the relevant data (such as voltage), and integrates it into the SCADA system. If the user wants to monitor the data from another country, they can use Modbus TCP over a TCP/IP network, but they must implement the network infrastructure and ensure security. 7. Conclusions. Industrial rectifier systems are essential for critical applications, and their effective communication depends on protocols such as RS-485, RS-232, Modbus, SNMP, DNP3, and IEC61850. The choice of protocol depends on the application, region, and existing systems, which can be confusing when users try to integrate the data into external systems. Protocol converters are key tools for resolving these differences, but they require user configuration. Manufacturers are responsible for providing accurate data and appropriate converters, while users must manage the integration and use of this data in their systems. With a clear understanding of the protocols and proper configuration, rectifiers can be effectively integrated into any industrial environment. And that's part of our services. Want to learn more?

SOLAR KITS, POWER QUALITY, LED LIGHTING, AND TELECOM TENDENCIES Li-ion batteries were widely used due to their high energy density. However, they are difficult to recycle due to the presence of toxic and flammable chemicals, such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) and lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) . On the other hand, the advantages of LiFePO4 battery technology are known for their safety and recyclability. LiFePO4 contains no toxic or flammable chemicals, and the materials used in the battery are non-toxic and easily recyclable. Materials such as lithium iron phosphate, graphite, copper, and aluminum can be easily recycled and reused in other products. Recycling LiFePO4 batteries also reduces the demand for mining new materials, making them a sustainable option . This explains why LiFePO4 batteries are gaining popularity due to their safety, long cycle life, and recyclability. The cost of LiFePO4 batteries has decreased significantly in recent years, making them more affordable for consumers. As a result, LiFePO4 batteries, besides replacing Li-ion technology, are also replacing traditional battery chemistries such as AGM, GEL, OPZV, and OPZS , which are commonly used lead-acid batteries in off-grid solar systems and backup power applications . Although these batteries are known for their low cost and high reliability, their main cons are their low life span, they are not environmentally friendly, and pose a significant health hazard if not disposed of properly. AGM and GEL batteries contain lead and sulfuric acid, which are toxic and corrosive. OPZV and OPZS batteries contain lead, sulfuric acid, and antimony, which are highly polluting to the environment. Lead-acid batteries can be recycled, but the process is expensive, and the materials recovered are commonly of low quality. According to a report by Energy Storage News , the demand for LiFePO4 batteries is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.5% between 2020 and 2027; in another report by Markets and Markets , the global LiFePO4 battery market is expected to grow from $1.7 billion in 2020 to $4.5 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 21.1% during the forecast period, while the demand for lead-acid batteries is expected to decline. The report also states that LiFePO4 batteries are becoming the preferred choice for hybrid and off-grid solar systems , and most importantly, UPS suppliers are also starting to use them. While sourcing batteries from multiple Asian suppliers can be challenging, working with our Integration Coefficient IC business model can help overcome many of these issues. By providing expertise in sourcing, logistics , and compatibility, companies make the best decisions about which supplier to work with and which technologies to use. With us, customers can ensure that their battery solutions are reliable, cost-effective, and meet their unique needs. For example, we will be even more helpful when integrating Hybrid and In-Grid (Bluetti brand) solar kits, Rectifier-Converter systems, Solar-LED Lighting , and power quality solutions.

On this special day, we wanted to pay tribute to all fathers and highlight the vital role they play in the lives of their children. In the image of this post, the father mouse becomes a protective and wise figure, guiding his son along a path recreated as a solar market with dissatisfied customers due to a very inefficient supply chain, meanwhile collecting all market traps that are clinging painfully to his back symbolizing the sacrifices all parents are willing to face to protect their kids. Although the son is enjoying the walk and even reminding his father: "I told you, everything will be fine," because of the apparent lack of danger in this hard path they are walking through, and of course, without knowing how much the father is suffering from the traps that are painfully attached to his back, he responds him with love and wisdom that even though he may know that the path is free of danger as his son believe, that he wanted to accompany him anyway to have fun with him, reflecting how protective and patient parents must be for their kids. For this reason, we can find a similarity in the business world, particularly in the concept of our Integration Coefficient IC , which acts as an experienced father guiding his kids (clients) to overcome the obstacles of a problematic and inefficient supply chain. Just like daddy mouse protects his kid from traps, the Integration Coefficient IC ensures that customers are safely and efficiently guided through a supply chain that today is often plagued with high prices, low profitability, difficulties in fulfilling guarantees, logistical problems in shipments, and higher tariffs at customs destination ports as well as quality problems and therefore, user dissatisfaction , all of this making it difficult to achieve the main objective of sustainability in solar energy, led lighting, batteries, and power quality business. The Integration Coefficient IC, like a protective and experienced father, seeks to offer comprehensive solutions that address all of these challenges . It provides strategic guidance, cost optimization, unified guarantees, improvements in the quality of solutions and services, and a constant pursuit of sustainability , becoming the trusted partner of customers, making sure that their needs are met and that they find the road to success in an increasingly complex and convoluted market. On this special day, let's celebrate the father figure and recognize the importance of having someone to guide and protect his children.

A WEIGHTED PROS AND CONS ANALYSIS Since we have started talking about the potential disadvantages commonly attributed to hybrid solar systems in our previous post, we can add another one related to the fact that these systems require technologies that tend to be more expensive than those used in On-Grid installations causing the current discussion about cost disadvantages of Hybrid Solar Systems. Because a hybrid solar system involves the use of solar panels, plus a hybrid inverter-charger that turns out to be heavier and more complex due to the addition of more functions, and a very long-lasting LiFePO4 battery bank that involves cutting-edge technology, it is not surprising that hybrid systems are an option that requires more investment. One of the main disadvantages of hybrid solar inverters is their initial cost in the current inefficient supply chain. Hybrid inverters are more expensive than On-Grid inverters because of additional backup functionality. Another drawback of hybrid solar inverters is that their installation can be more complex than grid-tie inverters. Integrating a charge controller and a battery management system requires additional wiring and configuration. This complexity can make the installation process more time-consuming and may require the services of more skilled solar installers, all of which increase the investment. Additionally, hybrid inverters can be more complicated to maintain and troubleshoot due to their sophisticated design. There is a cost of the batteries used with hybrid inverters also to be considered. These additional expenses can significantly increase the initial cost of installing a hybrid solar power system. Although solar panels can last well over two decades (or three), batteries generally tend to be replaced every 10 to 15 years. The same is true for inverters because of their 5~7 to 10~15 years life span, so you can also expect them to need to be replaced at least once during the lifespan of the solar panels. But this is also true for On-Grid central or string inverters but it does not apply for On-Grid systems with microinverters. However, despite these cons, there is no denying the better and higher cost-benefit ratio solar hybrid systems offer over On-Grid installations. A hybrid solar system is a great way to keep complete control of the power supplied to your load which is impossible to get when installing On-Grid systems. The added safety net will help you save money by reducing electricity bill costs. This feature makes them worth the investment. The main reason your solar hybrid system's investment is shielded against cost detractors is keeping you covered even during inclement weather and night-time use during blackouts. The hybrid solar system will let you never run out of power. Furthermore, through our Integration Coefficient IC manufacturing and marketing model, we achieve huge savings for end customers that greatly alleviate the impact of current prices on the inefficient supply chain they are currently mired in. So, the Pros outweigh the Cons demystifying the general cost discussion tendency about these systems. When you can count on weighted analysis you will have a clear view that lets you make the best decisions. Let's invite you to transform how you work. Join our website to receive actionable Integration Coefficient IC insights for real-world challenges.

As explained before, the name hybrid for battery-based solar systems comes first from the fact that the connected AC load draws energy in a shared way from the grid, the solar panels, and the battery bank. Second, batteries can be charged both, AC energy from the utility and converted to DC by the hybrid inverter, as well as from solar panels. Finally, the inverter is capable of returning AC energy to the grid in On-Grid mode which was obtained from both the battery bank and the solar panels, through net-metering agreements. All these processes can be carried out tailored to the user's needs, depending on how the system's operation is programmed or set. That is why there is often talk of a con of hybrid solar systems that would be based on the idea that their operation could be very cumbersome. But, are solar hybrid systems confused to handle? It is said that when an On-Grid solar system is installed, little attention and maintenance are needed, which is not necessarily true. However, due to the more complicated technology than On-Grid involved in a hybrid system, a certain significant amount of knowledge is needed to ensure that everything runs smoothly, or rather, to get the most out of the system, which involves two completely different objectives since it is obvious that operation could be achieved with minimal failures that do not necessarily lead to maximum savings. For example, settings for how the hybrid inverter, battery, and grid coordinate may need to be checked and adjusted, and while there is minimal maintenance for the solar panels and inverter of a hybrid system, it may need to monitor the battery as environmental elements can further wear down its useful life. The electricity tariff scales per day, per hour, per week, and even per climatic season imposed by utility companies should also be known in depth. It is fortunate that hybrid solar systems already provide battery banks with protection against extreme temperatures as well as IP65 or IP66-rated enclosures. Likewise, they also offer sophisticated interfaces for monitoring and establishing key operating parameters in real-time, in addition to a range of alarms to alert the user when the parameters settings should be readjusted for maximum performance and also have very explicit reports of energy consumed, energy sent back to the grid, lists of faults or alarms, all of them via WIFI or online. The possible detractors of these systems who argue how confusing it is to manage them, do not seem to understand that the search for sustainability implies maximum human-machine integration, a commitment by everyone to the environment, and knowing how to help the system work at their best in order to get its maximum performance. And this is not a disadvantage at all. Let’s Keep the Momentum Going! Stay in the loop with our latest Integration Coefficient IC solutions . Subscribe today!

BURNING OUT THE BUSINESS DISORDER Alexander Graham Bell once emphasized with extreme insight, “The sun's rays do not burn until they are focused." In the vast field of business, a lack of focus is like a scattered sun, unable to make an impact. This truth is forcefully illustrated in the revealing picture of this post, where sheets of paper burn with the intensity of solar concentration through a magnifying glass. How do we connect this with business management? The answer is in our business model, the Integration Coefficient IC , which concentrates the sun's previously dispersed rays through a magnifying glass. A few simple rays now have the power to burn. In business, each element of a dispersed and inefficient supply chain is like those non-concentrated rays of sunlight. In this scenario, some companies follow the same recipes without innovating. Their focus fades, and disorder settles into their operations. The lack of sheets of paper burning with concentrated sun rays exemplifies how business inefficiency feels. There are many examples: Paperwork excess, confusing processes, supply chain disarray, lack of integration, and poor strategic vision leading to mass layoffs , inability to adapt to market fluctuations , and ultimately loss of reputation and leadership. The phrase " Integration Coefficient IC from chaos to focus "  means all entrepreneurial activities are brought back to efficiency, acting like the sun's focus, burning out the business disorder, and making room for clarity. Focusing on the excellence of integrated factories is like using a magnifying glass. The Integration Coefficient IC integrates the best factories, guaranteeing quality and efficiency. Then, grouping the top factories constitutes the magnifying glass of business success; that is, these top factories become the key factor that amplifies the power of innovation and excellence. Like the sun's rays through a magnifying glass, installers, designers, and builders are channels that focus the energy of solutions toward the end consumer. The IC recognizes this natural focus channel, bringing solutions closer to the consumer as the new Shared Economy tendencies let, and then simplifying the supply chain. This is the business focus channel promoted by the IC. This efficiency improvement allows prices to be decreased: the IC magnifying glass not only burns clutter but also inflates prices. Savings of 60% or more for end customers arise when IC eliminates inefficiencies in the supply chain. Prices fall while quality, customer satisfaction , and innovation increase. Consumers, as witnesses of the approach, become natural spokespersons. Their ardent satisfaction is evidence of the effectiveness of the Integration Coefficient IC.

ITS ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS, AND THE ROLE OF THE INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC REPORT ON LOW GLOBAL PRODUCTIVITY In a world where global productivity is declining, real wages are stagnant, and inequality is rising, there is an urgent need to find innovative solutions for sustainable economic growth. Recent analyses show that global productivity is growing at rates well below historical averages, a trend that is likely to persist without significant interventions. Despite the enthusiasm for technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), advances have not yet translated into substantial productivity improvements. Financial bubbles, such as the current one in AI, generate mirages of prosperity. Experts warn that inflated valuations of AI companies could collapse if expectations are not met, destabilizing markets. These bubbles do not address the structural problems of the economy, such as demographic aging, low investment in human capital, and the technological slowdown. In this context, the Integration Coefficient IC business model, developed by Jaime Ventura Energy Consultant, emerges as a transformative solution. Inspired by the collaborative economy , similar to how Uber revolutionized transportation, the IC integrates the energy supply chain , connecting international manufacturers, local installers, and end customers. This reduces costs by up to 60% and optimizes processes by offering innovative solutions such as solar kits , power quality projects, and electrical backup systems with batteries , even making them fully customized to the market's needs . The IC enables group purchases of containerized solar kits, lowering costs for installers who form cooperatives , thereby increasing their competitiveness. Customers gain access to affordable energy solutions, while manufacturers gain a larger and more stable market. Furthermore, a unified guarantee for the entire system strengthens trust. By driving efficiency in the energy sector, the Integration Coefficient IC reduces costs and increases productivity, contributing to more stable economic growth. Unlike financial bubbles, it is based on real operational improvements, less vulnerable to boom-bust cycles. This approach fosters sustainability , supporting the transition to renewable energy. How can we build a more inclusive economic future? The Integration Coefficient IC business model could be the key.
