1. INTRODUCTION
The GREEN TEST FTV 100 is a measuring instrument designed and built to meet the needs of technicians
during the installation, testing, certification, and maintenance of photovoltaic systems.
Photovoltaic systems comprise two parts:
♦
A photovoltaic generator, comprising one or more series of photovoltaic panels that generate
a direct current.
♦
The inverter that converts the direct current generated by the panels into an alternating
current that is supplied to the network for use.
The GREEN TEST FTV 100 has three inputs for measurements of the voltage (V
DC
) and current (I
DC
)
delivered by the photovoltaic generator, making it possible to measure up to three series of solar panels at a
time. Depending on the needs of the installation, you may use one input, two, or all three.
The other side of the instrument has three inputs for measurements of AC voltages (V
AC
) and three for
measurements of alternating currents (I
AC
), making possible measurements on one, two, or three phases.
Make sure that the voltage and current connections are in phase, to avoid the acquisition of errored
measurements.
The measurements available on the GREEN TEST FTV 100:
♦
measurement of solar radiation by pyranometer (up to 2000W/m²);
♦
measurement of outdoor temperature using a Pt100 probe (up to 80°C);
♦
measurement of the temperature of the solar panels using a Pt100 probe (up to 120°C);
♦
calculations of the theoretical power available;
♦
measurement of the voltage (1000V
DC
), of the current (PAC10-FTV current clamps 200A

,
PAC20-FTV current clamps 1400 A

) and of the power delivered by the solar panels;
♦
measurement of the voltage (600V
AC
), of the current (MN-FTV current clamps 200A

inverter;
♦
calculation of the efficiency of the solar panels with display of the values and highlighting of the
test result;
♦
calculation of the DC/AC energy conversion (inverter) efficiency with display of the values and
highlighting of the test result;
♦
Memory used to store customer data and system measurements;
