Weidmuller Transclinic 16i+ 1k5 string monitoring device

The Transclinic 16i+ 1k5 string monitoring device monitors voltage and current within a photovoltaic system with the DC string up to 1500 V.

The solution offers the possibility of monitoring individual photovoltaic strings in order to detect faults or loss of performance on the DC side in a timely way. This allows the performance of the entire photovoltaic system to be increased and economy to be enhanced. It can be used in an extremely wide range of environments and over large temperature ranges, while simultaneously resolving the space-related problems of the past. The system’s 16 connections halves the amount of required space.

The system is said to function reliably over a temperature range of between -25 and +70°C, and at heights of up to 3000 m, making the system suitable even when faced with strict requirements.

An integrated switch provides protection against cases of damage resulting from the incorrect cabling of the communication interface.
