PVE PVPM1100C IV-Curve Measurement Device for PV modules and strings (100kW, 1000V, 100A)

Measurement and Evaluation Unit:

Industrial class PC, Flash data storage 512MB (sufficient for several thousand measurements)

No mechanically moved parts such as fixed disks, exhaust or similar

Sampling rate max. 100kHz, resolution 12Bit

Measuring accuracy for the I-V-characteristic better 1%, for the peak performance ±5%

Four-wire-measurement leads avoids systematic errors in voltage measurement

Measuring period single measurement 0.02 - 2 seconds (100 pairs of measured values)

Irradiation reference sensor (Phox) with integrated Pt100/Pt1000 temperature sensor

Optional additional measurement of the back surface temperature of the module under test

Other commercially available irradiance reference sensors (i.e. ISET® sensor) can be used

Measuring Range

Voltage DC: 25 / 100 / 500 / 1000 V

Current DC: 10 / 20 / 50 / 100 A

Temperature: -40°C - +120°C with Pt1000

Irradiance: 0 - 1300 W/m2 (Standard-Sensor)

The measuring ranges can be combined among each other.

The measuring instrument automatically selects an optimal measuring range.

The device must be used only for the test of current limited dc sources (photovoltaic generators)

Display

Large daylight-capable LCD with LED backlight, resolution 240 x 128 pixels, monochrome

Representation black text on white background, thus high contrast

Operation

Menu controlled by plastic foil keyboard directly at the device

Operation and analysis alternatively with MS-Windows®  application, communication via USB

Voltage Supply

Lithium-Ion battery 11.25V/8.8Ah/99.6Wh (continuous operation about 8h)

External power supply with wide range input 90-264Vac, 47-63Hz, UL-approved, power 40W

Internal automatic battery charge controller with overloading protection

Display of the charge state over control LED at the front side of the housing

Continuous measurement possible during mains operation

Dimensions

Width: 48cm, height: 16cm, depth: 39cm, weight: about 13.8 kg
