Section 5 – Checking the Dulas Lightning Protection board
The Dulas Lightning Protection board
incorporates three Metal Oxide Varistors
(MOVs) lightning protection devices on the
board. These will absorb the small lightning
strikes that may occur nearby to the
installation but will not be effective against
large lightning strikes. If the MOVs are
damaged in the event of a large strike they
will fail and must the board must be
replaced.
To check if the board is still effective
conduct the following test:
1. Switch the PV isolator to “0”.
2. Wait two minutes or more to ensure the capacitor has discharged and then remove the
controller cover.
3. Disconnect the mating connectors from J1 and J2.
4. Ease the 4 plastic clips securing the circuit board to one side and remove the circuit board.
5. Visually check both sides of the board for signs of damage or discolouration.
6. Use a multi-meter set to the lowest resistance range to measure the resistance from
connection J1/ PV+ to J2/ +. This should be less than 0.15 ohms. It is sometimes
necessary to measure the resistance of the multimeter leads shorted together and subtract
this “zero” reading from the measured resistance of the circuit board.
7. Use a multi-meter set to the lowest resistance range to measure the resistance from
connection J1/ -PV to J2/ -. This should be less than 0.1 ohms. It is sometimes necessary
to measure the resistance of the multimeter leads shorted together and subtract this “zero”
reading from the measured resistance of the circuit board.
8. Use a mulitmeter set to its highest resistance range to measure the resistance between J2
/+ and J2/ -. This should be greater than 1M ohm. Be careful to ensure that you are not
touching the connections as the reading is being taken as this will lower the measured
resistance.
If all the above tests are satisfactory the board can be re-installed. If any tests fail a
replacement board should be installed.
