Images are for illustration purposes only. E&OE Overview 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, synchronised 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 synchronisation between the two units guarantees the necessary contemporaneity of measurements, the two separate and independent units make measurements comfortable and safe. The instrument can be interfaced with accessory MPP300, which extends the characteristics of SOLAR300N by enabling recordings on single-phase and three-phase, single-string and multi-string (up to three strings), single-inverter and multi-inverter photovoltaic systems (therefore also in three-phase systems provided with three single-phase inverters). 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 customised by adding the company’s logo, the customer’s data, comments, etc. Features DC/AC TRMS (single/three-phase) voltage measurementDC/AC TRMS (single/three-phase) current measurementDC/AC (single/three-phase) power measurementAC (single/three-phase) energy measurementMeasurement of power factor (single/three-phase)Measurement of solar irradiation [W/m2]Measurement of environmental and module temperatureThree-phase up to three strings PV systems (with MPP300)Recording of voltage and current harmonics up to the 49thRecording of voltage anomalies (dips, peaks)Flicker analysis in compliance with standard EN50160Recording of starting currents with a resolution of 10msRecording voltage fast transients (spikes) with a resolution of 5μsAnalysis of mains quality in compliance with EN50160Numerical and graphical display of each quantityRecalling results on the displayTFT colour display with touch screenPower supply with rechargeable Li-ION batteryMemory extension by means of CF cardData transfer to external USB memory (memory stick)USB port for PC connectionHelp on line on the display Specifications Display : TFT, 65536 colours, (320x240pxl), high contrast, touch screenPower Supply : 1x3.7V rechargeable Li-Ion battery with external power supply, duration > 6h, auto power offafter 5 min in stand-byInternal Memory : 15Mbyte (duration approximately 3 months @ IP = 15min and 251 parameters selected)Memory Extension : compact flash (CF card)PC Interface : USB 2.0Safety : IEC/EN61010-1Insulation : double insulationPollution Degree : 2Measurement Category : CAT IV 600V (to earth) CAT III 1000V (between inputs)Unbalance : IEC/EN61000-4-7Power Quality : IEC/EN50160Flicker : IEC/EN61000-4-15Electric Power Quality : IEC/EN61000-4-30 Class BDimensions : 235x165x75mmWeight (batteries incl.) : Approx. 1kg Downloads Datasheet - TOP SOLAR300N PDF File 276.61 KB
