- measurement of solar load current
Features and functions of the Benning PV 2 meter:
- clear and unambiguous display of all measurement results
-safe measurement connection, even if the photovoltaic system is delivering energy
- automatic test procedures for curve measurement with or without RISO testing
- indication of Uo/c, Umpp, Is/c, Impp, filling factor (FF) and RISO with “PASS/FAIL” indication
- insulation measurement with testing voltages of 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V
- separate insulating resistance measurement via 4mm measuring leads for tests of PV cables etc
- automatic testing procedure (open-circuit voltage 1000 V DC, short-circuit current 15 A DC, insulating resistance)
- automatic display of voltage polarity with audio/ visual warning for reverse polarity
- null balance of the measuring leads
- measured values memory for 999 display indications (PV strings)
- USB interface and download software BENNING SOLAR Datalogger for downloading measured values in CSV format
- equipped with an integrated real-time clock which automatically adds a date / time stamp to each storage process or storage location
- Radio connection to the optional insolation and temperature measuring instrument BENNING SUN 2
- download software for the preparation of test certificates in MS Excel
- ISO measuring result with “pass / fail” information
-direct connection to all standard photovoltaic modules with MC4 or „Sunclix“ connectors
- easy operation for network-indepedently and mobile testing
- LC display with background lightning
- automatic switch-off (individually adjustable from 1 to 10 minutes)
- tests can refer to PV modules, PV strings or the entire PV system
- optional PC software BENNING SOLAR Manager (item no. 050423) for the creation of test reports and documentation of characteristics
- free app BENNING PV Link (requires Android device with NFC)
