Metrel MI 3115 PV Analyser

Test 1500 V photovoltaic systems in style

The MI 3115 PV Analyser offers testing in accordance with the IEC 62446 standard and supports all category 1 and category 2 tests and measurements. Like insulation resistance measurements of PV strings, I/U characteristic measurements, and the conversion of measured values to STC values and comparison with nominal values given by the PV modules manufacturers.

The irradiation and cell temperature are measured in real time with the wireless remote unit. Additionally, category 1 tests are collected in one auto test, which enables the user to perform all the desired tests with a single touch of the start button.

SW 1201 Metrel Electrical Safety Manager Software (MESM)

The Metrel Electrical Safety Manager is a common application for management of a wide palette of Metrel’s electrical safety testers, portable appliance testers, machine testers, transformer testers, earthing testers and industrial safety testers. The application has a unified user interface with the new generation of Metrel’s instruments - same view, same meaning. It enables the pre-treatment for the measurements, viewing, and editing of the measurement results, and generation of professional reports.
Depending on the instrument model or type, the user can create AUTOSEQUENCEs, custom tests, or single tests. They can be integrated into the custom-created test structures and then uploaded onto the measurement instrument. The downloaded measurement results can be viewed, analysed, edited, and finally a professional report can be created and printed. The professional reports are predefined according to national standards and regulatory organisations where the user enters all the needed protocol data while the measurement results are automatically inserted into the predefined forms.
 

About Metrel 

Metrel was established in 1957 as a factory for the production of electrical measuring instruments and components for the domestic market and grew from there to become one of world’s leading manufacturers of measuring and testing equipment. They are one of the few companies in the industry that develops and manufactures products at a single location, starting with design and ending with final assembly, quality control and calibration.
