SAFETY TESTER (Potential Induced Degradation) Capable of setting within the range of 50 Vdc to 2000 Vdc (resolution 1 V) Ability to switch the applied voltage polarity instantly by the switch on the front panel The output is floating from the ground potential. Capable of measuring the current value between measurement points.

'Potential Induced Degradation The PID insulation tester (TOS7210S) is designed based on the insulation resistance tester (TOS7200) to carry out the evaluation of the PID (Potential Induced Degradation) effect of the PV module precisely and efficiently. Being equipped with the output ability of 2000 V and the ammeter with nA resolution as well as a polarity switching function, the TOS7210S is also applicable not only to the PID evaluation but also the evaluation of the insulators that requires a high sensitivity of measurement. The tester is equipped with the panel memory that is externally accessible...

PID effect The PID effect is a phenomenon that the amount of power generation by a cell remarkably decreases when high voltage is applied between the solar cell and the frame for long hours. It is supposed that the higher the applied voltage is and/or the higher and more humid the environment is, the further deterioration accelerates. For example, the potential difference in the string becomes extremely higher when the number of sheets that are connected in series increases even if the output voltage of the crystalline silicon solar cell module is just tens of volts. On the other hand, the grounding...

Information related to PID test Reference: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology The experiment to reproduce the PID effect was conducted as the collaborative research theme in "Stage II Consortium of high-reliability PV module development and evaluation" that was established in April 2011 by the Research Center of Photovoltaic Technologies, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (hereinafter called "AIST"). Kikusui Electronics Corp. developed TOS7210S as a necessary test equipment contributed for this experiment project. *The contents mentioned...

Information related to PID test Reference: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology n Confirmation of the deterioration by EL (electro-luminescence) The normal part emits light perfectly, but as the deterioration accelerates, the shaded area increases eventually and ceases to emit light. This method is adopted useful to confirm the PID effect. In addition, it is admitted that the deterioration in the PID effect is reduced with the elapled time by a reversible effect or recovered nearly to the initial state. Normal (recovered) Reversible effect (exposed indoor) n Confirm...
