[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) power station is a power generation system that utilizes solar energy and employs special materials such as crystalline silicon panels and electronic components such as inverters. It is connected to the power grid and transmits electricity to the grid. PV power stations are among the green power development energy projects that receive the most encouragement from the state. PV power stations can be divided into independent power generation systems with batteries and grid-connected power generation systems without batteries. Solar power generation is divided into solar thermal power generation and photovoltaic power generation. Currently, the solar power that has entered commercialization refers to solar photovoltaic power generation.

It captures infrared radiation from the surface of objects using an infrared sensor and converts it into a temperature distribution image, clearly showing abnormally high temperature points. An insulation resistance tester (model CA6412) is used to detect DC-side insulation degradation and leakage risks. It supports high-voltage testing, has a safety alarm function, outputs high-voltage DC, and measures the insulation resistance of the line to ground; a low resistance value indicates insulation damage. There is also a grounding resistance tester (HIOKI3453) that uses a three-pole / four-pole method for measurement, has strong anti-interference capabilities, and uses the potential drop method or clamp method to measure the resistance between the grounding electrode and the earth, ensuring safe current discharge. The fault detector 201 is mounted on the support plate 6. On the surface, the output end of the fault detector 201 is equipped with two detection lines 202.

The heat dissipation effect is better when the cover plate 8 is open for testing.

Control the device with the cooperation of the controller 12 and the display screen 13. Then, with the cooperation of the support column 5 and the ventilation hole 7, the bottom of the fault detector 201 can be cooled. The heat dissipation groove 16 can be used to dissipate heat inside the protective box 4. The dustproof net 17 can prevent external dust from entering the interior of the protective box 4. With the cooperation of the fault detector 201 and the detection head 204, it is convenient to detect faults in the corresponding mechanism of the photovoltaic power station. With the cooperation of the positioning seat 304 and the slot 305, it is convenient to insert the clamping rod 10 into the slot 305 to achieve the effect of positioning the cover plate 8. Opening the cover plate 8 for testing provides better heat dissipation. With the cooperation of the fixed corner plate 301 and the handle 303, it is convenient for the staff to pull the device.
