The industrial tools and integrated software Fluke has launched a new solar tool in the Middle East.
Launched during the Middle East Energy 2023, the new Solar Multifunction Tester 1000 streamlines PV (SMFT-1000) installation, commissioning, and maintenance procedures. In addition, SMFT-1000 also eliminates installation time by up to 20% and documentation time by up to 50%, enabling professionals to manage PV systems efficiently and accurately.
The I-V curve is one of the most common methods of determining how solar modules or solar strings operate in different working areas. The SMFT-1000 enables I-V curve data to be compared instantly to measured data while in the field, displaying pass/fail visuals in real-time on the device’s high-definition colour screen for easy detection without the need for a laptop or tablet.
The tester can also be used for measurements of open voltage, short circuit or operating current, insulation tests, polarity checks, diode and earth bond testing. In addition, AC/DC power measurements to improve efficiency can be performed on the inverter.
Fluke has a strong presence in the Middle East, and the introduction of the SMFT-1000 to the market further strengthens the company’s position as a provider of electronic test tools and software in the region. The company remains committed to delivering innovative solutions to its customers in the region.
