The I-V600 model is an I-V Curve and functional test verification (Voc, Isc) instrument compliant with IEC/EN60891, IECEN60904-1-2 and IEC/EN62446 guidelines. I-V600 tests the performance and functionality of Monofacial and Bifacial PV modules/strings.
I-V CURVE TRACER (PERFORMANCE/ACCEPTANCE TEST)
I-V600 verifies the performance of PV strings in compliance with IEC/EN60891 guideline by tracking the I-V curve on installations up to 1500VDC and 40ADC. Through solar irradiation and temperature measurements of the PV modules (in wireless combination with the SOLAR03 remote unit), I-V600 extrapolates the @STC curves (Standard Test Condition: 1000W/m2, 25°C, AM 1.5) comparing them with the ratings provided by the module manufacturer. The large internal database stores up to 1000 different manufacturers and up to 1000 modules associated with each manufacturer directly, easily programmable by touch-screen display.
FUNCTIONAL TEST (IVCK)
I-V600 verifies the functionality of PV strings in accordance with IEC/EN62446 guideline by measuring, with or without solar radiation, the open circuit voltage (Voc) and the short circuit current (Isc) in operating conditions (@OPC) up to 1500VDC and 40ADC. By measuring solar radiation and temperature of the PV modules (in wireless combination with the SOLAR03 remote unit), I-V600 extrapolates the values @ STC (Standard Test Condition: 1000W/m2, 25°C, AM 1.5) and compares them with the ratings provided by the module manufacturer.
I-V600 EXTENDS THE CHARGE OF THE INTERNAL BATTERIES
To increase the autonomy of the batteries and allow them to be recharged, I-V600 is equipped with a professional internal BMS (Battery Management System) algorithm which automatically recovers energy from the discharge of the module capacities at the end of an I-V test and from the voltage present on the inputs. A valid aid in case you need to carry out many tests in rapid succession.
