27、716 IEC:2013 5 PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) MODULES AMMONIA CORROSION TESTING 1 Scope and object Photovoltaic (PV) modules are electrical devices intended for continuous outdoor exposure during their lifetime. Highly corrosive wet atmospheres, such as in the environment of stables of agricultural companies, co

28、uld eventually degrade some of the PV module components (corrosion of metallic parts, deterioration of the properties of some non-metallic materials such as protective coatings and plastics by assimilation of ammonia) causing permanent damages that could impair their functioning and safe operation.

29、This standard describes test sequences useful to determine the resistance of PV modules to ammonia (NH3). All tests included in the sequences, except the bypass diode functionality test, are fully described in IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and IEC 61730-2. They are combined in this standard to provide means

30、to evaluate possible faults caused in PV modules when operating under wet atmospheres having high concentration of dissolved ammonia (NH3). This standard applies to flat plate PV modules. The structure of this standard follows closely IEC 61701. 2 Normative references The following documents, in who

34、testing sequences included in Figures 1 or 2, depending on the PV technology considered, namely crystalline silicon or thin-film respectively. As the figures indicate one of these samples should be used as a control. The control sample should be used as a check every time the test samples are measur

35、ed to evaluate the effect of the ammonia exposure test. BS EN 62716:2013 6 62716 IEC:2013 If a full-size sample is too large to fit into the environmental chambers required for the ammonia exposure test then a smaller representative sample may be specially designed and manufactured for this test. Th

36、e representative sample should be carefully designed so that it can reveal similar failure mechanisms as the full-size one, and the fabrication process of the representative sample should be as identical as possible to the process of the full-size ones. The fact that the test has been made on repres

37、entative samples and not on the full-size samples has to be indicated and reported in the test report item g), see Clause 11. If the PV module is provided with means for grounding then they constitute a part of the test sample. The test results relate only to the sample structure as tested. If a mod

38、ule manufacturer uses several sources for PV module components, additional test samples are required. Samples shall be chosen in such way, that each encapsulation material used and any component forming an outer surface of the module used in the product range is represented. BS EN 62716:2013 6 62716
