By Will White, Fluke Solar Application SpecialistOptimizing the efficiency of bifacial solar modules through precise I-V curve measurement is key to maximizing energy yield and return on investment (ROI) for solar professionals. Compared to traditional monofacial modules, bifacial solar modules have gained popularity in the solar industry due to their ability to capture sunlight from both sides, potentially increasing energy yield.Despite these advancements, the capacity rating under Standard Test...

Grid connected photovoltaic systems are growing in importance as sustainable energy sources.The DC power of the solar panels is converted into an AC power by inverters. These are transformerless and, besides generating AC current, also inject a small DC Current. Excessive DC current injection into an AC network can cause problems like transformer saturation, however, which will cause additional losses and reduce transformer lifetime. For measuring these DC components, we need a Power Quality Analyzer...

To the untrained eye, problems in electrical distribution systems or the equipment connected to the circuit may not be recognizable as power quality problems. When no immediate problem is apparent, it may be written off as just an old breaker that needs replacing or a one-time nuisance reset. You might look at types of loads on the system and monitor for harmonics, unbalance, or disturbance patterns.Harmonic distortion issues and voltage and current anomalies represent the areas where common problems...

Many process devices operate and indicate measurements based on an input of a 4 to 20 mA signal. A few examples include control valves, I/Ps, local process indicators, strip cart recorders, controllers and control system input cards. Loop calibrators or other tools with mA sourcing functions are very useful for testing these devices.For example, if testing a current-to-pressure converter (I/P) with a 4 to 20 mA input and a 3 to 15 psi output you would apply input mA signals of 4, 12 and 20 mA and...

一条生产线停产，哪怕只是几秒钟，都可能对生产产生严重影响。

In any electrical installation, some current will flow through the protective ground conductor to ground. This is usually called leakage current. Leakage current most commonly flows in the insulation surrounding conductors and in the filters protecting electronic equipment around the home or office. So what’s the problem? On circuits protected by GFCIs (Ground Fault Current Interrupters), leakage current can cause unnecessary and intermittent tripping. In extreme cases, it can cause a rise in voltage...

The performance of temperature transmitters and related instruments can decline, especially in the harsh environments found in industrial settings. Temperature transmitter calibration maintains reliability and uptime.Fluke calibrators, such as the Fluke 724 Temperature Calibrator or the Fluke 754 Documenting Process Calibrator, can provide the three things necessary to accurately calibrate a temperature transmitter – sourcing temperature, providing loop power and measuring the resulting output...

使用钳形表钳口测量交流或直流电流的步骤详解

温度在许多工业和商业过程中起着关键作用，如监测食品加工中的烹饪温度、测量工厂中熔融钢的温度、验证冷藏仓库或制冷系统中的温度，或调节造纸厂干燥室的温度。

Harnessed PV arrays are solar installations where multiple strings of photovoltaic (PV) modules are connected in parallel upstream of the inverter, reducing the number of combiner boxes and associated wiring. This configuration offers cost savings, but it also poses challenges for performance testing. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up, calibrate, and analyze I-V curves using advanced tools like the Fluke PVA-1500, and discover best practices for optimizing performance in harnessed PV arrays.Why...
