Intertek Expands Inverter Test Laboratory Capacity and Services
Intertek (LSE: ITRK), a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services, announces the expansion of its Cortland, NY inverter test facility. The laboratory tests a wide variety of small to medium-sized inverters to U.S., Canadian and International safety and performance requirements. The expansion increases Intertek’s capacity to test multiple inverters in parallel, and extends the range of products that can be tested in this location to up to 150 KW. Inverters are a critical part of distributed energy generation products, providing the means for making power derived from renewable energy sources compatible with the power grid, as well as providing safety functions for connection-to and disconnection-from the power grid for wind turbines, photovoltaic (PV) systems, fuel cells, and other types of generators.
