Metrel, a manufacturer of test and measurement equipment for the electrical industry, has launched the MI 3114 PV Tester, a multifunctional electrical installation safety tester for testing PV systems with a maximum system voltage of up to 1500V and a maximum short circuit current of 40A.
The tester comes with an array of versatile accessories for comprehensive testing, including a remote unit for measuring irradiation and cell temperature (of photovoltaic modules).
Key features include:
• Testing PV strings in parallel with a 40A current (50% faster testing)
• Measurements of insulation in 1500 V PV systems in a single instrument
• An auto test function for IEC/EN 62446 category 1 tests
• Wireless (Wi-Fi) remote unit for measuring (and logging of) irradiation and cell temperature of PV modules
• Calculation of STC values and comparison with nominal data
• PV modules database handler
• Correction of previously wrongly entered parameters of an already executed measurement or a group of measurements
