Why choose it

The METRALINE PV 1500 is built for the specific challenges of photovoltaic testing. Its CAT IV 1000 V rating and IP54 protection ensure safe operation in demanding environments. Auto-ranging and True RMS simplify measurements, while the low-pass filter helps eliminate interference from inverters. The included calibration certificate provides documented accuracy for professional use.

Ideal use cases

• Commissioning and troubleshooting PV systems
• Measuring DC voltage of solar strings up to 1500 V
• Testing AC output of inverters
• Checking continuity and resistance of wiring
• Temperature measurements on modules and connections

Good to know

The meter operates on two standard AA batteries, which are included. The carrying case and test leads are also part of the package, so the meter is ready for field use out of the box.
