Seaward Solar PV150+ Installation Tester
The Seaward Solar PV150+ Installation Tester marks a significant leap in PV testing technology, building on the success of the acclaimed PV150 model. This advanced device meticulously assesses the electrical safety and functionality of solar PV installations, incorporating the latest technological innovations. A notable enhancement is its capacitance induced in-rush protection, now three times stronger, ensuring unparalleled safety. The PV150+ integrates crucial PV commissioning tests in line with IEC 62446 standards, guaranteeing thorough compliance with both MCS and IEC requirements.
Enhanced Connectivity and Storage
The device features internal storage that can hold up to 200 test records. It offers straightforward USB connectivity for effortless data transfer to PCs. Additionally, it introduces the innovative Seaward Solarlink technology. This enables wireless data transfer, capturing real-time irradiance and temperature measurements. Thus, it enhances the efficiency of solar installation evaluations.
Streamlined Testing Process
Ease of use is at the heart of the PV150+’s design, facilitating direct connection to PV arrays and simplifying the testing process with a single-button mechanism. This feature is invaluable for performing safe live array testing. The tester’s expanded capabilities include ground continuity checks with lead compensation, assessment of string open circuit voltage up to 1000V DC, and insulation testing at selectable voltages, enabling thorough evaluation of individual modules or strings.
Pairing the PV150+ with the Seaward SolarCert Elements software allows for quick downloading of the device’s 200 test result capacity, streamlining the creation of professional certification and reporting. Moreover, the Seaward Solarlink feature enables wireless communication with a Solar Survey 200R, documenting solar irradiance and temperature metrics in real time. This dual functionality ensures all necessary measurements are gathered simultaneously, in accordance with MCS and BS EN 62446 standards.
