The Italian HT insulation resistance tester/fault locator PV255s is a truly innovative instrument, which is another HT instrument capable of measuring the insulation performance of photovoltaic modules, photovoltaic strings, or the entire photovoltaic array according to the standard IEC/EN62446. The PV-255s test system voltage can reach up to 1500V DC, specially developed for 1500V photovoltaic systems. Due to the innovative GFL (Ground Insulation Fault Localization) function, it provides inspectors with precise location of individual insulation faults that may exist on photovoltaic system strings, such as those caused by water or moisture infiltration.
PV255s Insulation Resistance Test Analysis and Ground Insulation Fault Locator
