As the local representative for Fluke, Comtest offers the Fluke GFL-1500 Solar Ground Fault Locator, a frontline troubleshooting tool that helps technicians pinpoint active ground faults in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It works by producing a traceable signal in the array, allowing for fast, intuitive, non-contact tracing directly to the fault location.
The GFL-1500 Ground Fault Locator is a three-piece troubleshooting system designed to assist technicians and enable faster and more confident fault resolution.
This eliminates the frustration of traditional exploratory and time-consuming troubleshooting and reduces unnecessary exposure to electrical hazards. In addition, to improving safety and reducing downtime, this solution redefines how technicians locate active ground faults in solar PV systems. By replacing complex, manual diagnostics with an easy-to-follow trace signal, the GFL1500 streamlines fault isolation, helping teams restore system operation quickly and effectively.
The Fluke GFL-1500 is a three-piece troubleshooting system. It includes:
- A transmitter, CAT III 1500 V dc, CAT IV 600 V, which meets the safety standards set out in IEC 61010-1 and 61010-2-030.
- A receiver, CAT III 1500 V dc, CAT IV 600 V, which meets IEC safety standard 61010-1.
- A signal tracing clamp, rated for use on insulated conductors up to 1500 V.
Whether the site of the work is at the inverter, combiner, or module level, the GFL-1500 Ground Fault Locator has been rigorously tested for safety and durability. It provides a rugged, safe, fast, and reliable solution to identify ground faults in high-voltage environments – enabling technicians to work confidently and efficiently in the field.
