Seaward PV:1525 Solar PV Tester (Instrument Only)

What is the Seaward PV:1525?

The Seaward PV:1525 is a handheld 1500V solar PV tester designed for electricians, solar PV installers and maintenance engineers carrying out electrical safety and performance testing on photovoltaic installations. It measures open-circuit voltage up to 1500V DC, short-circuit current up to 25A DC, insulation resistance and earth continuity, making it suitable for residential, commercial and utility-scale solar PV systems.

 

Comprehensive Solar PV Testing

The PV:1525 combines essential solar PV testing functions in one portable instrument, with selectable insulation test voltages of 250V, 500V, 1000V and 1500V. Automatic test sequences support testing in accordance with DIN EN 62446-1, while manual testing allows engineers to investigate individual measurements. Its CAT III 1500V safety rating provides protection for suitable high-voltage PV testing applications.

 

How does the PV:1525 stand out in everyday use?

The 3.5-inch colour display and illuminated function buttons make testing straightforward on site. Results can be stored in the instrument's 1,000-slot memory and transferred via Bluetooth to the PV:Sync Mobile app for organised records and reporting. With a rechargeable battery and guided test sequences, the PV:1525 helps streamline solar PV commissioning and maintenance.
