The Fluke 393 FC CAT III 1500 V True-rms Solar Clamp Meter with iFlex is designed for solar photovoltaic (PV) installation technicians and maintenance professionals who work in high voltage DC environments: PV arrays, wind power, electric railways, data centers battery banks for uninterruptible power supplies. The clamp meter will measure up to 1500 V DC and 1000 V AC with test leads, and up to 999.9 A DC or AC through the clamp jaw. The included iFlex flexible current probe extends AC current measurements up to 2500 A. The 393 has a thin jaw, giving you access to cables in crowded combiner boxes. Plus, the test leads are designed with your work in mind, and are also rated to CAT III 1500 V DC.
Installation is as simple as placing the clamp on the seam and tightening the round point Torx Drive (T30) setscrews to the specified tension. Then, affix ancillary items using the bolt (provided with standard N 1.5 clamp; sold separately for the N 1.5 Mini).
*S-5! clamps may be moved in the event of initial misplacement. However, due to the ensuing oxidation process which acts as a natural thread lock, we can express no opinion to the performance of a clamp once it has been removed and reinstalled or the ability to remove the clamp after this process has occurred.
Our standard test procedures are to test the Mini (one setscrew) clamps with negative load normal to seam and standard (two setscrew) clamps with load parallel to seam. We have performed numerous parallel-to-seam datum tests on Mini clamps and concluded the Mini clamp is capable of (conservatively) obtaining at least the strength of the standard clamps. In fact, the majority of the datum testing indicates the strength of a Mini is closer to 2/3 the strength of a standard clamp.
The following suggestions assume a determination has been made that the roof to which the S-5! clamps will be attached is structurally adequate. Any loads imposed on the S-5! clamps will be transferred to the panels. Panel seams must have sufficient flexural strength to carry these loads. Panels must also be adequately attached to the building structure, and the structure must be sufficient to carry these loads. The makers of S-5! clamps make no representations with respect to these variables. It is the responsibility of the user to verify this information or seek assistance from a qualified design professional, if necessary.
This Mid Clamp (also known as a middle clamp) is designed for compatibility with a mini rail and used to clamp solar panels between two solar modules to minimize the effects from wind or any other shaking.
You will need two mid-clamps for each of your panels and two end-clamps for each of your rows. You will fasten the Rail component into the metal roof using 3 standard metal roofing screws. Then you will affix the mid-clamp or end-clamp to your standard Solar Panel.

The clamping system consists of end clamps and mid clamps to attach the module frame to the RoofTrac support rail. This fully integrated clamping system actually changes the structural properties of the aluminum channel making it significantly stronger. This design allows solar modules to be installed at a lower profile to the roof, providing a more aesthetically pleasing installation.Module clamps are specifically designed, extruded and engineered for each specific module frame. Their innovative clamping system provides inward tension on the module frame securing the laminate in the frame. Channel nuts slide easily into position to hold the end clamps and mid clamps.
The Seaward Solar Power clamp is a feature packed Power Analyzer designed to enable maintenance, troubleshooting and efficiency measurements on PV Systems. The power clamp simplifies and speeds up the process of determining the efficiency of PV systems. The instrument can measure the current on both the AC and DC side of the inverter, giving a true RMS reading of the power whilst the system is still operational.
The 41303-5B, manufactured by R. M. Young, is a naturally aspirated, 6-plate radiation shield. Its louvered construction allows air to pass freely through the shield, serving to keep the probe at or near ambient temperature. The shield's white color reflects solar radiation.
I have the same exact setup i just installed the monitor in the main panel not the gayeway the solar clamps go on the leads going to the gatewat from the main and the energy clamps goes on the pseg leads. It works great dont see any solar production because im not sending anything back to pseg yet. I mainly use sense to see what i am using internal to the house and use the tesla app to see solar production and energy usage from the grid. Let me know if that helps

Solar panels can be directly bolted into place and panels will generally come with either four or eight mounting holes for bolts to be placed through. This method is often used in solar farms to attach panels to ground mounted racks or to solar trackers that follow the sun through the day. It is possible to use bolts because on a ground mount or a tracker there is plenty of room to get behind the panels and attach them. But on a roof where panels are laid flat this is not at all easy.
Clamping zones can vary from panel to panel. Many panels only have one type of clamping zone, which will be located around its mounting holes. Other panels can have multiple zones which will give an installer options on where to install clamps, depending on what wind conditions are like at a location.
the clamping position (*stated design loads apply a safety factor of 1.5 to the test load, e.g., 5400 Pa / 1.5 = 3600 Pa). Site-specific loads such as wind or snow which may exert forces in a different way need to be taken into consideration to ensure these limits are not exceeded.
(1) The Product can offer some grounding performances depending on the components and elements to be used by customer to design their complete system (including but without being limited to solar panels, frames and rails). However, please note that these performances can substantially vary depending on the type of elements which will be used by the customer to design their complete system as well as the environmental conditions. Consequently, the grounding performances need to be priory evaluated by customer by conducting their own tests considering the characteristics of each project including but without being limited to the frame and supporting rails intended to be used as well as environmental conditions.
In addition to voltage and current measurement, the Solar Clamp Meter (DCM1500S) has the ability to measure resistance, diode, capacitance, temperature, and frequency. With its wide range of capabilities, this meter can be used at all points in nearly every array from an individual module, the output of combiner boxes, inverters, and ac panelboards. It is therefore intended for use while installing, maintaining, fault-finding, or monitoring those systems.
With the tactile barrier below the jaws of the instrument, this tool allows technicians to safely and effectively measure up to 2000 V DC and 1500 V AC and amperages up to 1,500 A on both AC and DC circuits.
The voltage output of PV modules is dependent on temperature. As the temperature increases, the modules' voltage decreases. The Solar Clamp Meter features a temperature probe to measure and record the operating temperature of the PV modules allowing one to then calculate the expected output voltage of the array. The DC voltage measurement feature provides the actual voltage to compare to the expected.
The DC current measurement can also be used in applications including battery monitoring, automotive, charging and load circuits, electrical vehicle servicing, lift maintenance, electro-plating plants and welding equipment servicing as well as domestic power generation from solar panels, and wind turbines.
