Seaward PV100 Solar Installation Test Kit

The new Seaward PV100 Solar Installation Test Kit includes all of the tools needed to fulfil the electrical test requirements of a solar pv system as stated in the MCS and IEC 62446. The fantastic Solar PV100 Test Kit allows earth continuity, insulation resistance, open circuit voltage, short circuit current and an operational test to be performed on a PV installation. With the revolutionary new Seaward PV100 Solar Multifunction Tester and Solar AC/DC clampmeter, all these tests can be safely completed without risking damage to the user or to the solar PV  panels.

► World's first all-inclusive solar PV specific electrical safety testing kit
► Seaward PV100 multifunction solar installation tester
► Fulfils UK MCS and IEC 62446 requirements
► Connect direct to the PV array
► Simple and safe test connections even when the PV array is energised
► Test connection system compatible with all major PV modules
► Operational test using Solar AC/DC Current Clamp

The Seaward PV100 photovoltaic installation tester is the worlds first handheld multifunction tester specifically designed for use on PV systems. Testing to MCS requirements, the Solar PV100 Tester is able to connect directly to all standard PV modules, strings and arrays using the MC4 test adaptors or Sunclix connectors provided within the kit. This method of testing means no live DC conductors are exposed so that the test can be safely controlled. Measurements are displayed on the large backlit screen and data for up to 9 PV strings can be stored on the internal memory for later review and analysis. The Seaward Solar PV 100 offers automatic comparison of voltage and current measurements between PV strings and provides an on-screen warning if the variation exceeds 5%. All test connections are automatically configured within the PV100 tester so that solar PV modules remain undamaged. Overall this product is a fantastic, easy to use and safe piece of Solar PV test equipment and it's available from www.test-meter.co.uk.
