About Fluke Solar / PV Clamp Meters
Fluke Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Clamp Meters are specialised instruments designed to measure electrical parameters in solar energy systems, ensuring safety and efficiency in their operation.
Key Measurements and Features
- Voltage and Current: Most Fluke Solar Clamp Meters accurately measure DC voltages up to 1500 V and AC voltages up to 1000 V, as well as currents up to 999.9 A DC or AC through the clamp jaw. This allows technicians to verify the output of solar panels, strings, and arrays.
- Safety Rating: These meters are designed with safety in mind, featuring high voltage ratings (e.g., CAT III 1500 V) and robust insulation to protect users when working on energised solar systems.
Specialised Functions for Solar Applications
Fluke solar clamp meters, such as the 393 FC (see 393 FC + MC4 Leads or 393 FC + iFlex), often include specialised functions for solar applications, such as:
- DC Power: Calculate direct current power (in kilovolt-amperes) to assess the performance of solar panels and inverters.
- Polarity and Continuity: Provide audio polarity indicators to prevent miswiring and visual continuity indicators for verifying circuit integrity
- Irradiance Measurement: Some meters include built-in solar irradiance sensors to measure the intensity of sunlight, helping technicians assess solar panel performance.
- Temperature Measurement: Temperature sensors allow for measuring the temperature of solar panels, which can affect their efficiency.
- Diode Testing: This function helps identify faulty diodes in solar panels, which can reduce system output.
Applications
- Solar PV System Installation: Verifying the correct wiring and operation of solar panels and arrays during installation.
- System Maintenance: Troubleshooting and diagnosing problems in solar PV systems, such as identifying underperforming panels or faulty wiring.
- Performance Monitoring: Measuring the output of solar panels and arrays to assess their performance and identify potential issues.
- Safety Inspections: Ensuring the safety of solar PV systems by checking for ground faults, insulation problems, and other electrical hazards.
Designed for use in high-voltage DC environments, such as PV arrays, wind power installations, electric railways, and data centres, these meters are essential tools for professionals involved in the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of solar energy systems.
