HT-INSTRUMENTS SOLAR300N POWER QUALITY ANALYZER
SOLAR300N allows carrying out all tests required for the verification of the efficiency of single-phase and three-phase photovoltaic systems. Testing photovoltaic systems requires contemporarily measuring environmental parameters (incident irradiation of modules, temperature of environment and modules) and electric parameters (continuous power, alternating power, etc.).
Typically, modules and inverter can be positioned even at several tens of meters of distance, thus forcing the operator to carry out measurements in different places far from each other at the same time. To carry out these operations, connections by means of long cables or (wireless) radio connections could be necessary, but both these solutions are not acceptable. Cables could hamper the operator's movements or be a hindrance, while radio waves would be attenuated by floors, reinforced concrete or metal structures, thus making communication impossible.
In order to avoid the above-mentioned problems and to carry out measurements with the necessary contemporaneity, SOLAR300N is provided with a remote unit, synchronized with the main unit. The remote unit is positioned next to the photovoltaic modules and it is connected to the probes for measuring environmental parameters (irradiation and temperature). SOLAR300N is connected upstream and downstream of the inverter in order to acquire the electric parameters (continuous power and alternating power). The synchronization between the two units guarantees the necessary contemporaneity of measurements, the two separate and independent units make measurements comfortable and safe.
SOLAR300N is also a powerful instrument for the complete analysis of mains quality in compliance with standard EN50160 (harmonic analysis, analysis of voltage anomalies, Flicker, unbalance, etc.). The management software TopView also provides the possibility of creating professional reports, which can be customized by adding the company's logo, the customer's data, comments, etc.
