New MCS Solar PV test kit includes special datalogging and downloading capabilities


The latest solar PV electrical installation test kit from Seaward Solar enables contractors to meet the requirements of MCS MIS 3002 quickly, thoroughly and effectively.


The kit includes all the necessary test equipment and datalogging capabilities needed to perform pre-installation site surveys and measure the electrical safety and performance of PV systems. It combines the comprehensive electrical commissioning test capabilities of the new PV150 solar installation handheld teste with the advanced Solar Survey 200R multifunction PV survey meter. Special


wireless Solarlink connectivity


between the two instruments enables real-time irradiance to be displayed and measured at the same time as electrical testing is being undertaken. This means that irradiance, module and ambient temperature can be recorded in real time within the PV150 as the electrical tests are conducted.


Once testing is completed, the USB download of time and date stamped test results, irradiance and temperature measurements provides full traceability and speeds up the completion of PV system documentation and customer handover packs.


www.seawardsolar.com Full fi nish for Marco


Marco, a leading uPVC cable management company and the UK’s largest manufacturer of steel wire cable tray, has launched a pre-galvanised fi nish in its steel wire cable tray range.


Marking the company’s continued commitment to develop the next generation of cable management solutions, the Continuous Hot-Dip Galvanised (Pre-Galvanised) fi nish addresses the needs of the growing data centre market, presenting an alternative specifi cation to electro-zinc plating.


A specialist product, prior to manufacture a zinc coating is added by repeated immersion in a liquid bath, producing a smooth grey fi nish and creating a plating thickness of minimum 12 microns, which offers protection against corrosion on cut surfaces due to the cathodic effect between zinc and steel. Steve Davis of Marco Cable Management, said:


‘Currently, there are very few manufacturers offering this fi nish, as it will appeal to a very specifi c market.’

Designed specifi cally for use in installations where durability, robustness, connection reliability and safety are of the utmost importance, Legrand’s Hypra Prisinter range of industrial


sockets delivers an


astonishing collection of end-user benefi ts. The compact range features a unique interlocked load break that means the socket will not carry any live power unless the plug is connected. It also removes the need for a separate adjacent isolator, which results in signifi cant savings in terms of installation time, space and money. This emphasis on safety is also refl ected by the lockable nature of all Prisinter socket covers that, when closed, deliver IP 55 rated protection, and when used in conjunction with Hypra plugs allow the level of protection to be chosen to suit a particular environment. For example, a Prisinter socket delivers:  IP 44 with a Hypra IP 44 plug connected;  IP 55 with a Hypra IP 67 / 66-55 angled plug connected; and


 IP 54 with a Hypra IP 66 / 67-55 straight plug connected.
