For a PV module without an optimizer, you do not need to use a branch cable to connect PV+ and PV–. Instead, measure the insulation resistance at the positive and negative terminals of the PV module

You will then need to focus on troubleshooting the identified faulty PV string to determine the precise faulty node. In addition, a meg-ohmmeter can be used to measure the insulation
