Designed for verifying the electrical safety and performance of modern photovoltaic installations, the Seaward PV150+ Solar Installation Complete Test Kit includes Seaward’s upgraded PV150+ Solar Installation Tester, a Seaward Solar Survey 200R Irradiance Meter, an AC/DC Clamp Meter, and an array of accessories.
Seaward PV150+ Solar Installation Tester Overview
As the upgraded version of Seaward’s PV150 Solar Installation Tester, the PV150+ is better suited to testing PV modules and strings featuring recent technology advances and associated higher efficiencies. It combines capabilities inherited from its predecessor, such as ground continuity, PV string open circuit, PV string short circuit, and PV array insulation tests, with new features including:
- Improved capacitive-induced in-rush protection by a factor of 300%
- Support for safe testing of energised PV arrays
- Combined PV commissioning tests required by IEC 62446
- Single-key testing
- Onboard data storage
- USB connectivity for data export
