Magnetek, of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, has announced that it has received a production order for its E-Force(tm) wind power inverters valued at approximately $6 million. Magnetek's modular utility-scale wind power inverters regulate and transform DC power generated by wind turbines into utility-grade AC power, which is distributed to the power transmission grid. The order is scheduled for delivery beginning in September 2010, through December 2010.

“This order for our E-Force wind power inverters is further indication of Magnetek’s commitment to and growth in the renewable energy market,” said Brad Taylor, vice president and general manager of Magnetek Energy Systems. “Our goal is to become a major provider of utility-scale power inverters for renewable energy applications.”
