A Fluke do Brasil launched its new multifunctional photovoltaic analyzer SMFT-1000, equipment that allows verify the performance and safety of photovoltaic systems, in addition to speeding up reporting.
Developed especially for solar professionals providing installation, commissioning and maintenance services for systems operating at 1000 V DC or less, the SMFT-1000 complies with international standards IEC62446-1 for testing and documentation of grid-connected power plants .
According to Osvaldo Conegundes, Product Manager at Fluke do Brasil, the SMFT-1000 is ideal for professionals to speed up their daily maintenance work.
“This equipment simplifies and accelerates the solar workflow, offering everything from initial measurements to the final report, in addition to reducing field time in 20% and documentation time in 50%”, he explained.
Tests
According to the company, the SMFT-1000 also performs an automatic sequence of performance and safety tests in a wide variety of combinations, allowing the IRR2-BT irradiance meter, included in the equipment, to be connected without the need for wires. to send data in real time.
Furthermore, they emphasized that the equipment provides more accurate IV curve measurements, the process facilitates immediate confirmation of measurements without the need for a notebook or tablet.
The solution is also capable of performing essential tests on photovoltaic systems, such as protective earth resistance, open circuit voltage (including polarity), short circuit current, insulation resistance, IV curve tracking and software analysis with TruTest , irradiance, temperature, inclination and cardinal direction.
Solar measurement data management
According to Conegundes, one of the challenges faced by professionals in the field of photovoltaic systems is the constant need to change the cable configuration when carrying out different types of tests, a problem that the SMFT-1000 is capable of solving.
“With the equipment's 'Keep the Leads' function, it is possible to optimize time. This functionality reduces errors made by the user when testing photovoltaic systems, which generates more accurate results. With this innovation, it is possible to carry out a greater number of tests on site, more efficiently and quickly”, he stated.
The Product Manager at Fluke do Brasil reiterated that the multifunctional solar tester also imports measurement results quickly and easily, directly from the equipment to the computer.
“This allows the professional to organize and analyze information and compare individual asset data with previously imported measurements to create a comprehensive, visual report. All this to optimize your daily life, ensuring even more efficiency on the field”, he concluded.
