Photovoltaic kit
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 PVK320 photovoltaic kit offers this additional
instrumentation in the form of a PVM210 irradiance meter,
a CATIV 10 A dc AVO410 multimeter and a kit of specialist
solar test leads.
To provide easy storage of the PV kit a zipped pouch is also
included.
The PVK320 kit offers the solar / photovoltaic engineer the
multimeter 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.
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.
AVO410 CATIV multimeter
The AVO410 multimeter features 1000 V dc / 750 V ac and
10 A ac / dc ranges. The meter has a CATIV 600 V safety
rating and true RMS readings are possible on the ac ranges.
Additional functions include resistance, frequency and
capacitance.
The additional functions would also prove to be of use in
other sections of the photovoltaic installation. The meter is
supplied in a tough rubberised holster that provides an extra
degree of protection.
Specialist PV test leads
In addition to the silicon multimeter test leads supplied with
the AVO410 two pairs of specialist solar testleads are included
in the PVK320. 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 typical 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.
