NOTICE REGARDING THE HUNG VUONG ANCESTOR COMMEMORATION DAY HOLIDAY & APRIL 30TH - MAY 1ST HOLIDAY

Diffuse-reflective fiber-optic sensor probes solve automation challenges where machine space is too confined to install opposed-mode transmitter-receiver pairs. Both the emitter and receiver components are housed within a single probe, allowing it to scan one side of an object without requiring equipment to be placed on the opposite side

A rooftop solar system might develop a problem as early as the morning, yet a technician might not discover it until the afternoon during an on-site roof inspection; meanwhile, monitoring software could have detected signs of an anomaly much earlier

Discover the seminar series on electromechanical maintenance and solar infrastructure hosted by EMIN and Fluke in Da Nang and Southern Vietnam. An opportunity to experience equipment firsthand and standardize high-voltage safety practices!

When a factory equipped with a rooftop solar array experiences a sudden drop in power output, it often sparks a dispute between the facility's electrical team and the solar installation contractor, with each side prone to blaming the other. The quickest way to resolve such a conflict is to accurately interpret the signs on-site—avoiding guesswork and refraining from hastily blaming the solar panels.

A solar panel reports a drop in output, yet the entire array continues to operate normally where does the fault lie? The answer often becomes apparent the moment a field engineer measures two fundamental parameters: open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc). These two figures make it possible to isolate faults whether in the panel itself, the wiring, or the charge controller without needing to disconnect the entire string from the system. This article details the standard engineering measurement procedure and explains how to interpret the results, eliminating guesswork when troubleshooting panel issues.
