9. Max Megawatts per hour spec assumes reference PV system with Vmp = 1100V and
Imp = 25A.
4
Automatically selected. Measurement sweep time depends upon the characteristics of
the test device (PV module, string, or array) electrical characteristics.
3
Thermal capacity is the # of I-V sweeps before the PVA must cool down for an
extended period. These specs assume a reference PV system with Voc = 1300V, 16
strings per combiner, 5min to move to next combiner with no measurements. No direct
sunlight on I-V unit.
