Application Scenarios
Solar Panel Production Line Quality Control
The CHT9930A is an indispensable testing instrument at the final stage of solar panel production lines. After framing and junction box attachment, every module must undergo ground continuity testing to ensure the frame, mounting points, and grounding terminals maintain low-resistance electrical paths. This test verifies that the module will safely conduct fault currents to ground in real-world installations, protecting both equipment and personnel.
IEC 61730 Certification Testing
For solar module manufacturers seeking IEC 61730 certification, ground continuity testing is a mandatory safety requirement. The CHT9930A provides the precise high-current DC output and accurate low-resistance measurement capability required by the standard, supporting manufacturers through the certification process.
Automated Production Line Integration
With Handler, RS232, and optional RS485 interfaces supporting MODBUS protocol, the CHT9930A integrates directly into fully automated solar panel production lines. Combined with automated handling systems, the tester performs ground continuity measurements and automatic pass/fail sorting without manual intervention, maximizing production efficiency.
Incoming Quality Inspection and Spot Checks
Solar panel distributors, EPC companies, and project developers use ground continuity testers for incoming inspection of module shipments. The three-group comparator function allows operators to quickly switch between test profiles for different module types and specifications.
Compatible Solar Module Types
The CHT9930A supports ground continuity testing for a comprehensive range of solar module technologies including PERC, TOPCon, IBC, ABC, HPBC, Shingled, and HJT modules across all mainstream cell sizes such as G1, M6, M10, and M12 formats.
