1、BRITISH STANDARD BS EN 61345:1998 IEC 61345: 1998 UV test for photovoltaic (PV) modules The European Standard EN 61345:1998 has the status of a British Standard ICS 27.160BSEN61345:1998 This British Standard, having been prepared under the directionof the Electrotechnical Sector Board, was published

2、 underthe authorityof the Standards Boardand comes intoeffect on 15 August 1998 BSI 05-1999 ISBN 0 580 30248 2 National foreword This British Standard is the English language version of EN61345:1998. It is identical with IEC61345:1998. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technic

3、al Committee GEL/82, Solar photovoltaic energy systems, which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related

4、 international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. From 1 January 1997, all IEC publications have the number60000 added to the old number. For instance, IEC27-1 has been renumbered

5、 as IEC60027-1. For a period of time during the change over from one numbering system to the other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to int

20、e module when exposed to ultra-violet (UV) radiation. This test is useful for evaluating the UV resistance of materials such as polymers and protective coatings. The object of this test is to determine the ability of the module to withstand exposure to ultra-violet (UV) radiation from280nm to400nm.

21、Before conducting this test, light soaking or other pre-conditioning should be performed in accordance with IEC61215 or IEC61646. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. A

22、t the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below.

25、ing initial measurements shall be carried out: visual inspection in accordance with IEC61215 or IEC61646; I-V characteristics at standard test conditions (STC) in accordance with IEC60904-1; insulation test in accordance with IEC61215 or IEC61646. 4 Apparatus The apparatus consists of the items list

26、ed below. a) A temperature controlled test chamber or other arrangement with a window or fixtures for a UV light source and the module(s) under test. The chamber shall be capable of maintaining the module temperature at60 C 5 C and a dry condition. b) A UV light source capable of producing UV radiat

27、ion with an irradiance uniformity of 15%over the test plane of the module(s) and capable of providing the necessary total irradiance in the different spectral regions of interest as defined in clause5 c). The final test report shall indicate which UV light source is used. c) Means for measuring and

28、recording the temperature of the module(s) to an accuracy of 2 C. The temperature sensors shall be attached to the front or back surface of the module near the middle. If more than one module is tested simultaneously, it will suffice to monitor the temperature of one representative sample. d) A cali

29、brated radiometer capable of measuring the irradiance of the UV light produced by the UV light source at the test plane of the module(s). See Annex A for suggested UV light sources. 5 Procedure The test shall be carried out according to the procedure outlined below. a) Use the calibrated radiometer

30、to measure the irradiance at the proposed module test plane and ensure that, at wavelengths between280nm and400nm, the test spectral irradiance is never more than5times the corresponding standard spectral irradiance specified in the standard AM1,5 solar irradiance distribution given byTable 1 of IEC

31、60904-3, that there is no appreciable irradiance at wavelengths below280nm and that it has a uniformity of 15% over the test plane. b) Mount the module in the test plane at the location selected in a) with the front side normal to the UV irradiance beam. c) While maintaining the module temperature w

32、ithin the prescribed range, subject the module(s) to a minimum irradiance of 7,5 kWhm 2in the wavelength range between280nm and320nm, and 15 kWhm 2in the wavelength range between320nm and400nm.EN61345:1998 4 BSI 05-1999 d) Reorient the module so that the back side is normal to the UV irradiance beam

33、. e) Repeat step c) for10% of the time at the irradiation levels that were performed on the front side. 6 Final measurements Repeat the following tests: visual inspection in accordance with IEC61215 or IEC61646; I-V characteristics at STC in accordance with IEC60904-1; insulation test in accordance

34、with IEC61215 or IEC61646. 7 Requirements The photovoltaic modules tested shall fulfill the requirements stated below. No evidence of major visual defects, as defined in IEC61215 or IEC61646. The degradation of maximum power output at STC shall not exceed5% of the value measured before the test. For

35、 thin-film modules, the maximum output power at STC shall exceed the manufacturers minimum power rating for this module type. Insulation resistance shall meet the same requirements as for the initial measurements, as defined in IEC61215 or IEC61646.EN61345:1998 BSI 05-1999 Annex A (informative) Sugg

36、ested UV light sources Selection of a UV light source is based on its ability to meet the spectral requirements of this standard. The following UV light sources can be able to meet these requirements when properly mounted and/or filtered. A.1 QUV-A and QUV-B fluorescent UV lamps, or similar QUV-B la

37、mps have a spectral range from280nm to315nm. The only drawback with this light source is the fact that almost all of the irradiance will be at the high energy end of the specified irradiance range. A combination of QUV-B and QUV-A fluorescent lamps may be used to provide the required irradiation in

38、the specified ranges. A.2 Filtered xenon The spectral irradiance of a filtered xenon lamp in the UV-visible range most closely resembles the spectrum of natural sunlight, especially in the wavelengths from280nm to320nm. Because xenon reproduces all of the solar spectrum, it has more energy in the wa

39、velength bracket ranging from320nm to400nm than the test specifies. To achieve a total irradiation of7,5kWhm 2between280nm and320nm with a xenon source, the sample may be exposed to considerably more than the15kWhm 2of total irradiation specified for the wavelength range between280nm and400nm. A.3 U

40、V-high pressure metal halide lamp These are high pressure mercury discharge lamps with metal halide additives which radiate mainly UVA and UVB. Special quartz glass shall be used to absorb the UVC radiation. This is also important in order to avoid the production of ozone. A.4 Natural sunlight Natur

41、al sunlight can be utilized with concentration. As with the xenon source, in order to achieve a total irradiation of7,5kWhm 2between280nm and320nm, the sample may be exposed to considerably more than the15kWhm 2of total irradiation specified for the wavelength range between280nm and400nm.
