Lyme current sensors made with BASF's Ultramid® help optimize the reliability of solar power generation

● The excellent mechanical properties of Ultramid make it an ideal material solution for solar sensor applications

● BASF's proprietary Ultrasim® technology to help optimize sensor design and performance

June 2, 2022 - Because BASF's high-performance polyamide Ultramid® has outstanding flame retardancy, electrical insulation, dielectric strength and dimensional stability, as well as easy processing and color matching, LEM Electronics (China) Co.
, Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as Lime Electronics) has now used this material to manufacture current monitoring sensors for solar power generation
.
To meet Lyme Electronics' stringent requirements, BASF also leverages its proprietary Ultrasim® technology to help optimize sensor design and performance
.

As a leading supplier of electrical monitoring application technology in the renewable energy industry, Zhang Zonghui, general manager of Lime Electronics China, said: "The high-tech sensors and solutions provided by Lime Electronics enable solar inverters and related equipment to work efficiently and reliably.
, and ensure that the system operates at high output power.

Ultramid is an ideal material solution for solar sensor applications due to its superior mechanical properties
.
”

Converting solar energy to electricity requires the use of a range of different components, and solar sensors can monitor current flow and control different stages of the transmission of solar energy from the panels to the grid
