Photovoltaic Installation Tester BENNING PV 1-1+
Suitable for solar installers (initial commissioning, repeat testing, troubleshooting), photovoltaic experts as well as service, cleaning and maintenance teams.
Application: Photovoltaic installation tester for standard-compliant installation and repeat testing of grid-connected photovoltaic systems according to VDE 0126-23 (DIN EN 62446).
Modern PV modules use PV cell technologies with higher efficiencies and a higher effective capacity. Due to the additional capacity, these PV modules can generate inrush currents in the event of a short circuit that are far above the specified short-circuit currents (Isc).
Advantages of the BENNING PV 1-1+
- improved test compatibility of PV modules of the latest technology with high efficiencies
- optimised overload protection offers 300 % higher protection against transient short-circuit currents
- modified housing with all-round rubber protection and fastening lugs to accommodate a carrying strap for hands-free operation
- a plus in test compatibility
- fail-safe operation
- great ease of use
- graphic display
- with backlight LC display

Insulation resistance with good/bad indication. Protective conductor resistance measuring range 0.05 Ohm - 199 Ohm. Continuity test of protective and equipotential bonding conductors with 200 mA test current. Voltage measurement yes, 30 V - 400 V AC/DC. Automatic display of voltage polarity with acoustic/visual warning in case of wrong polarity. Open-circuit voltage up to 1000 V DC. Safe short-circuit current measurement up to 15 A DC without danger for the user. Function test by current measurement up to 40 A AC/ DC, optional BENNING CC 3 (044038).
