by

[slideshow_deploy id=’3501′]

ETS Cable Components are proud to introduce to the O&M Solar market, the EmaZys PV Analyzer Z100.

The PV Analyzer Z100 is a new and innovative measuring device which is able to quickly and efficiently locate a wide range of defects in solar cell panels. Extensive field tests prior to the launch have shown that service engineers are able to save up to 40% of their fault-finding time.

Watch The Video

By using the new PV Analyzer Z100 you can easily locate problems in PV Strings, shorten downtime and reduce maintenance and troubleshooting costs dramatically.

The PV Analyser Z100 enables:

  • Precise fault location in all types of PV arrays and related cabling.
  • All weather diagnostic measurement possible with a minimum of daylight intensity of 100W/m2 extending your O&M season.
  • Reduces maintenance and troubleshooting costs dramatically and simplifies the service operation at the PV installation site.

Features:

  • Location of open bypass diodes
  • Location of shorted bypass diodes
  • Location of high series resistance and disconnects
  • Measuring insulation resistance
  • Location of insulation faults/ R iso
  • Measuring string/panel open circuit voltage
  • Measuring string/panel short circuit current
  • Checking string polarity
  • Distinguishing multiple strings
  • Measuring string impedance curve
  • An integrated timer function for periodic faults

Here’s What A Previous User Thought:

“The Z100 saves us enormous amount of time when troubleshooting big PV systems. It is easy to operate by all our technicians, and there is really no need for advanced knowledge when working with the instrument. The product is simple and compact, and it is a clear benefit that we can use it for detecting periodic isolation faults.”

Kent Cording, Project Manager SDK.

New ‘No Bolts’ Cleat Is Launched

by

ETS Cable Components are proud to be part of the development and subsequent launch of a new range of cleats which requires no conventional fixings to supporting steel-work.

The design also allows for additional cleats to be stacked on top of one another with nothing more than a small turn of a unique fixing lock.

The concept was driven by initial discussions between Network Rail and ETS, the resultant product range providing a unique cable cleat solution to alleviate a critical Health and Safety issue the client’s engineers had experienced.

Following subsequent design meetings and the continual evolution of the design concept over the last year, we are extremely pleased to announce that the finished product range is now available.

Key features:

  • No bolts – allowing for rapid installation through a simple ‘turn and lock’ mechanism onto supporting steel-work!
  • Easily stackable – additional cables can be added without disturbing existing installations in any way.
  • Manufactured from London Underground 1-085 approved material.
  • Cleat sizes suitable for fixing cables ranging from 18-55mm in diameter available.

ETS Cable Components Operations Director, Kevin Moloney, said:

“It was a privilege to get the initial call from Network Rail requesting our help to come up with a suitable cleating solution. This is testament to our reputation in solving problems for customers.

The whole process from initial design meeting to approving the prototype progressed extremely quickly and was helped greatly by the ingenuity of the design team from Ellis Patents. The determination of Network Rail and their desire to see improvements to the network, whilst safeguarding those working on it is a superb example of innovation directly benefitting on-site safety.”

The new boltless cleat will be available to view at the Infrarail show at Excel on 12 – 14th April, but for further product information in the meantime please contact ETS on: 0208 405 6789 or via sales@etscablecomponents.com.

Cembre Update Product Range With New Hydraulic Crimpers

by

Cembre, the internationally renowned tool cable tooling manufacturer, has recently launched two new 18v cordless battery operated hydraulic crimping tools. The new B500E and B1350-CE are designed to replace the B51 and B135-C crimping tools respectively.

Main Features

The new tools represent a significantly advantageous evolution of the popular B51 and B135-C tools. The main features of this new generation of crimpers include:

  • New Li-Ion 18V 4Ah batteries offering high capacity, faster charging and energy optimisation.
  • Greater crimping speed and crimping force resulting from a revitalised hydraulic system with double speed action.
  • A maximum pressure sensor and security valve, together provide greater precision and repeatability of the pressure cycle and double the provision for operator safety.
  • An OLED display makes essential tool operating information available in real time. Including:Compression force being generated, for confirmation of tool performance and adherence to best practices.
  • Bi-component plastic shell for enhanced resistance to wear and damage, and rubber grip inserts for operator comfort.
  • LED lighting at the front of the tool to illuminate the working area for additional convenience and safety.

The tools will also collect crimping cycle data for up to 200,000 events, this is automatically stored on a memory card for transfer to PC by USB interface.
