Parts subject to wear:
- The BENNING PV 2 is provided with two fuses for overload protection:
One fuse with a nominal current of 500 mA, F, 1000 V, breaking capacity ≥ 1000 A, D =
6.3 mm, L = 32 mm (P.no. 749771)
- The BENNING PV 2 is supplied by six 1.5 V batteries/ type AA (IEC LR6).
Note on optional accessories:
- PC software BENNING SOLAR Manager for the creation of test reports and documentation
in compliance with VDE 0126-23 (DIN EN 62446) and VDE 0126-24 (DIN EN 61829) (part
no. 050423).
- Insolation and temperature measuring instrument BENNING SUN 2 for measuring the inso-
lation (W/m²), the PV module temperature and the ambient temperature (P.no.: 050420).
- Temperature sensor with suction cup for BENNING SUN 2 for attachment to the rear of the
PV module (part no. 050424).
- PV module holder for BENNING SUN 2 for safe attachment to the PV module (part no.
050425).
- AC/ DC current clamp adapter BENNING CC 3 for connection to the BENNING PV 2. The
measured AC/ DC current values can be stored in the memory of the BENNING PV 2 and
can be recalled (P.no. 044038).
- 40 m measuring leads BENNING TA 5 with practical rewinder and supporting loop. Connec-
tion: 4 mm safety test socket/ plug (P.no. 044039).
- Test badges "next test", 300 pieces (P.no. 756212)
- Test certicate forms for "Testing of PV systems" are available for download free of charge
