This is a control system trainer which lets the student technician examine the electrical layout and operational features normally associated with a photovoltaic power source.
Features:
- Test the direct output of the pane
- Configure PV panel to achieve necessary voltage /current / power requirement
- Document I-V output at various light intensities and correlate light intensity to power generation ( P vs T )
- Test various battery confiigure (option)
- Connect the PV array generation circuitry to storage batteries
- Document battery charge and discharge rates
- Connect the PV array circuitry to an AC inverter
- Drive an AC load with the PV array generation system
- Contains two solar photovoltaic modules mounted on an adjustable carriage which can be tilted for optimum exposure with a nominal voltage output of 17.3V DC at 5.8A
- an inverter that converts the DC to 240VAC single phase at 300W
- a high-capacity solar battery
- controls to monitor power from solar modules and to switch to battery
- a-0-15V DC voltmeter , DC ammeter and a 0-240V AC voltmeter.
- Mobile frame constructed of code gauge furniture stock steel with 4 swivelcasters, two with locks and connecting cords.
