MPI-540-PV-IRM1
The Sonel MPI-540-PV measures critical parameters on the DC and AC sides of PV systems in full compliance with the EN 62446 standard. It automatically recalculates readings to Standard Test Conditions (STC).
The MPI-540-PV includes Auto-mode testing for residual current devices (RCDs) and manufacturer-configured autotests. Users can even create and save custom test sequences to match specific requirements. Please visit MPI-540-PV for further information.
The Sonel IRM-1 complements the MPI-540-PV by providing precise environmental data during PV system evaluations. It measures solar irradiance along with panel surface and ambient temperatures. For more details, please visit our IRM-1 listing.
