DESCRIPTION
When installing, commissioning and testing a photovoltaic
installation additional instrumentation is required to
accompany the usual electrician’s test equipment such as the
Megger MFT1730 and MFT1835 multifunction testers.
The Megger PVK330 photovoltaic kit offers this additional
instrumentation in the form of a PVM210 irradiance meter,
DCM340 600 A ac / dc clampmeter and a kit of specialist
solar testleads.
To provide easy storage of the PV kit a zipped pouch is also
included.
The PVK330 kit offers the solar / photovoltaic engineer a
clampmeter option of verifying, with the PVM210 irradiance
meter, the stated short circuit current as provided by the
manufacturer of the solar panel as required by published
standards.
In addition, this clampmeter offers the option of testing the
current within each ‘string’ on a larger solar array without
disconnection of cables.
PVM210 Irradiance meter
The PVM210 is a pocket size instrument that has both solar
detector and meter combined in one unit that permits single
handed use, ideal for working at height and on sloping roofs.
The unit has a 3¾ digit display and a maximum range of
1999 W/m². A hold function allows easy measurements of
solar power.
DCM340 clampmeter
The DCM340 clampmeter features 600 V ac / dc and 600 A
ac / dc ranges. Additional functions include resistance and
frequency. A hold feature to enable easy measurements is
also included. The additional functions would also prove to
be of use in other sections of the photovoltaic installation.
Silicon test leads with probes and a protective storage pouch
are provided with each clamp.
Specialist PV testleads
In addition to the silicon multimeter test leads supplied
with the DCM340 two pairs of specialist solar test leads are
included in the PVK330. The first pair of leads comprise of
1.3 metre test leads terminated at each end with standard 4
mm plugs while the other ends are terminated with the MC4
type solar panel connector. Where panels are fitted that utilise
MC3 connectors, a pair of MC3 to MC4 0.2 metre adapter
leads is supplied for convenience.
