FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Magnetek Annouces Ontario FIT Compliant Utility-Scale PV and Wind Inverters

Menomonee Falls, Wis. – June 21, 2010 – Magnetek, Inc. (NYSE: MAG) today announced its intention to provide its advanced-design, utility-scale solar and wind inverters to the Ontario market from its Canadian operations located in Mississauga, Ontario. The Company’s E-Force® Wind and Solar Inverters sold through Magnetek’s Canadian operations will be fully compliant with Ontario’s 2010 Feed-in Tariff (FIT) requirements, and also immediately compliant with the increased 2011 FIT domestic content requirements.

Magnetek’s modular utility-scale E-Force Inverters regulate DC power produced by wind turbines and photovoltaic systems into clean utility-grade, distributed AC power. The E-Force platform is scalable to 5MW. Several hundred megawatts have been produced and are already installed within North America.

The E-Force Inverter’s compact, field-proven design increases the electrical power that is available from renewable sources, reduces the time and cost of installation, and assures a long service life. Sophisticated self-diagnostics and remote monitoring capabilities allow customers to monitor energy generation and operational status. Several inverter models are available in standard forced-air-cooled or optional liquid-cooled versions.

“We are extremely pleased that through leveraging our existing facility in Mississauga, we can comply with the FIT’s requirement for domestic content and begin contributing to the growth of utility-scale, grid-tied solar and wind power production in Ontario,” said Brad Taylor, vice president and general manager of Magnetek’s Energy Systems business.

The Company plans to begin selling FIT compliant inverters from its Mississauga facility in fall, 2010.
