Genauigkeit Klasse A bei jeder Kabellänge
Überblick
Der CS240DM ist ein smarter PRT (Platin-Widerstands- Temperatur) Sensor, den man an der Rückwand eines PV-Moduls anbringen kann. The CS240DM includes a new Campbell Scientific precision analog-to-digital, smart-sensor module that makes back-of-module temperature measurements that are among the most accurate measurements available today. The module, based on CR1000X design, is optimized for the Class A PRT and minimizes self-heating and lead-wire resistance. Measurement electronics are surge protected, include 1200 V isolation, and are environmentally protected with a rugged over-molding featuring an IP65 rating. Data is differentially transmitted in twisted-pair cabling, which is well suited for industrial energy applications with excellent noise rejection and high voltage, NEC Outdoor, UV, UL, and NEC ratings.

Technische Beschreibung
The CS240DM consists of a Pt-1000 Class A PRT encased in an aluminum disk. The disk protects the PRT, particularly during installation when pulled through conduit, and promotes heat transfer from the surface while minimizing convective heat loss to the surroundings. An adhesive tab on the disk fastens the CS240DM to the measurement surface. If the temperature may exceed 70°C, Kapton tape is also required to secure the probe.

The CS240DM provides PV stakeholders with highly accurate back-of-module temperature—even at long cable lengths—for use in power-performance modeling and simulation of solar energy applications. Back-of-module temperature is critical for any evaluation of effective irradiance and power conversion.

-
A hot spot is caused if a cell in series is under-producing due to shading and gets reversed bias due to the other producing cells. For bifacial modules, as long as the front face is not shaded, all the cells should be producing and covering a small area on the back side and should not cause a severe mismatch.
-
Yes, it is NIST traceable.
-
Even when three-pt calibration isn’t ordered, when we build the probes, we perform a final test to verify that they are reading within 0.3°C of our calibrated reference sensor at room temperature.
-
NIST traceability provides an assurance of accuracy. This is especially desirable in accordance with IEC 61724, which is a solar energy generation monitoring specification that requires calibrated sensors.
