1 Introduction
The battery-operated PV tester BENNINGPV1‑1+ described here (in the following only referred
to as “device”) is intended for commissioning tests and periodic inspection of grid-connected
photovoltaic systems in compliance with IEC/ DINEN62446‑1 (VDE0126‑23‑1) and IEC/
DINEN62446‑2 (VDE0126‑23‑2). The device enables you to perform the following tests and
measurements:
• Protective conductor resistance measurement with a testing current of 200mA‑DC
• Automatic display of the voltage polarity with acoustic/ visual warning in case of wrong
polarity
• Open-circuit voltage measurement on the PVmodule/ PVstring up to 1 000V‑DC
• Short-circuit current measurement on the PVmodule/ PVstring up to 15A‑DC
• Insulating resistance measurement with testing voltages of 250V‑DC, 500V‑DC or
1 000V‑DC
• Functional test by current measurement using the optional current clamp adapter
BENNINGCC3 with up to 40A‑AC/A‑DC
• Measurement of the insolation, PVmodule temperature and ambient temperature by means
of the optional insolation and temperature measuring instrument BENNINGSUN2
