DRAKER SOLAR DESIGN BECOMES DRAKER LABORATORIES

New Line of Performance Monitoring Gear Set to Debut at Solar Power 2007

Burlington, Vermont—September 10, 2007—The company formerly known as Draker Solar Design is now Draker Laboratories. Draker is changing its name in order to better express the nature of the products and services it now provides. For nearly a decade, Draker has been a respected name in the solar industry, but the growing demand from all sectors of the renewable energy market for accurate and reliable monitoring systems has helped to fully realize Draker's mission.

"While it may seem like a small distinction, it's a critical one," said Draker founder and CEO A.J. Rossman. "When I started Draker nearly ten years ago, we were working mostly in the solar arena and our laboratory was the field. Today, we're developing performance monitoring systems for a full range of renewable energy sources and it's become much more of a customer-driven R&D operation. The new Draker facility is a laboratory designed to meet the needs of renewable energy providers."

The name change precedes the launch of a new line of high performance monitoring systems for medium and large-scale energy projects. Precise monitoring has become an essential part of managing renewable energy projects both to maximize return on investment and comply with reporting standards for contracts, net metering and incentives.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
