Fluke, the world-renowned industrial tool and software provider, has announced the launch of the SMFT-1000 Solar PV Multifunction Tester, the latest addition to their extensive line of solar tools.
A Complete Solution
The SMFT-1000 streamlines PV installation, commissioning and maintenance, helping PV professionals reduce installation time by up to 20% and documentation time by up to 50%. The introduction of a 1kV I-V Curve tracing capability allows users to service larger PV systems, within IEC compliance Category 1 and 2 Test Regime measurement capabilities.
The Fluke SMFT-1000 PV Multifunction Tester features a user-friendly interface that provides immediate access to the tool dashboard and on-screen automated data analysis, allowing you ensure PV systems operating at 1000V DC or under are reaching their optimal power output and running safely.
The SMFT-1000 was also designed with Fluke TruTest® Solar Software integration, which formulates data measured by the SMFT-1000 into IEC formatted reports, enabling technicians to create project, site and client categories to quickly access data and complete tasks with minimal training.
We teamed up with Fluke to host a webinar, entitled "Installation Commissioning & Maintenance of Solar Systems with SMFT-1000", hosted by Fluke's Marc Sherwood (Senior Technical Sales Manager).
In this webinar, Marc be demonstrated best practices for testing a commissioned Solar Farm or Domestic Solar Installation using the Fluke SMFT-1000, while also covering solar energy trends, the UK solar market, PV testing standards, troubleshooting PV installations, associated PV testing products and more.
