Seaward Solar Utility Pro Solar PV Testers

Seaward | Electrical Safety Test Equipment

The Seaward Solar Utility Pro Solar PV Testers takes PV testing to the next level. Offering more efficient 1500V modules and inverters, Seaward have answered the industry call for an easy to use and robust tester with 1500V capabilities. The market leading 40A current capability enables the Seaward Solar Utility Pro to test parallel wired strings up to a maximum of 1500V / 40A, eliminating the time consuming task of separating strings to keep within lower limits of other instruments.

A single press of the test button will give values for Open Circuit Voltage and Short Circuit Current, and when paired with the Seaward Solar Survey 200R irradiance meter, will also record irradiance, module and ambient temperature measurements. The large internal storage memory can record up to 999 complete record sets, which can be downloaded as a CSV file to a PC for review.

Providing the ideal solution to Solar Cables testing, the Seaward Solar Utility Pro can be applied with Thorne & Derrick’s extensive range of LV MV HV Solar Cables, Accessories, Substation & Electrical Equipment, including market-leading Solar Cables, such as:

Seaward Solar Utility Pro Testers Specification

To make on site testing easier, the Seaward Solar Utility Pro is supplied with 1.5M long conversion leads that convert the standard MC4 leads to alligator clips – particularly useful in combiner boxes and junction boxes. These features, in a rugged enclosure, give the larger scale PV engineer the most efficient, portable and highest rated tester available.
