In recent years, there have been reports of cases where high-efficiency solar cells (such as N-type and half-cut cells) cannot measure I-V curves using competitor products or the old Epsilon 1000 (PVA14300). However, measurement is possible with the current Epsilon 1000 (PVA14300R) and Epsilon 1500 (PVA18340). Both the current and old models of Epsilon have a built-in overcurrent detection circuit, which prevents equipment failure by cutting off the current and stopping I-V curve measurement if the measurable current exceeds 30 [A] (when overcurrent is detected). High-efficiency solar cells tend to have a large inrush current flowing into the Epsilon, leading to a higher frequency of measurement stoppages due to overcurrent detection with the old Epsilon. Even if the catalog value of the solar cell is around 15 [A], the actual output current can momentarily exceed 30 [A] significantly. The current Epsilon is equipped with an inrush current prevention circuit that performs gradual short-circuit processing. This suppresses the occurrence of overcurrent during short circuits, making measurement possible even when the capacitive component of the PV is large. Measurement is also possible with the Gamma series and Delta.

Thank you for your continued support. This is Nippon Kernel System Co., Ltd. The person in charge of the newsletter, who is relieved after overcoming the challenges of preparing school lunches during summer vacation, is sending you Epsilon News No. 46. ─▼──────────────────────────────────── Table of Contents [1] The MPPT electronic load device is being renewed [2] Announcement of the Epsilon measurement software version upgrade [3] Editor's Note ─▲──────────────────────────────────── You can read more on our company website.

This device, which can apply loads equivalent to actual operation on solar cells, is widely used for research and development purposes. To accommodate the latest technologies such as perovskite solar cells, we are preparing to expand the maximum input power and add new control methods. A renewal is scheduled for October 2025. Main renewal contents: - Simplified I-V curve measurement capability - Increase in main unit capacity from 300 [W] to 500 [W] - Addition of a new MPPT control method We have created a flyer, so please take a look!

We have renewed the product features and applications to make them easier to understand, so please take a look. ーーーーーーーーーー This is a next-generation load device composed solely of passive components (resistors, reactors, capacitors) that allows for the setting of active/reactive power (leading/lagging). By connecting a computer software to a power meter, constant power control is possible even when the voltage changes. In evaluating power supplies and measuring instruments (such as power conditioners, UPS, power factor transducers, etc.), tests can be conducted without worrying about control resonance or load responsiveness that may occur when using electronic loads. Additionally, when evaluating power conditioners, using our grid connection testing software in conjunction allows for automatic execution of everything from load adjustment for anti-islanding tests to test implementation and report generation, significantly reducing the man-hours required for testing.

Our (Chuo Ward, Osaka) grid connection testing environment has been renewed! ● Testing capacity has increased! 6 [kW] → 8 [kW] ● Smooth automatic testing is possible using the "Grid Connection Automatic Testing Software." https://www.kernel-sys.co.jp/product/autoTest/ ● A new product, "Testing Script Creation Software," is also available. https://www.kernel-sys.co.jp/product/autoTest/testscript_index.html You can also utilize partial tests, such as "remote output control function testing only" or "standalone operation testing only," on an hourly basis. ▼ For more details ▼ https://www.kernel-sys.co.jp/support/p_pdf/AutomaticTest.pdf Our staff will be present to support the testing. Consultation on test content, contracting for tests, and site visits are also possible, so please feel free to contact us!
