| High performance is the key feature of these high current resistance meters based on the four point measuring technique. The instruments are especially designed and optimized for low resistance measurements in highly inductive circuits. The design responds to the needs of utilities and transformer manufacturers for a lightweight, portable unit with high accuracy and ease of operation. The powerful built-in 1kW/2.5kW DC supply and the automatic controlled measuring circuitry are more than adequate to handle even the most demanding application. The DC current is continuously adjustable up to 33A/50A to accommodate resistance values from 0.1uH up to 20kn. The 33V/50V DC test voltage saturates even the largest transformers typically within seconds. The instruments are capable to measure the resistance of up to three serial windings simultaneously. The test object temperature is measured and resistance readings are automatic temperature compensated for copper and aluminium windings using a standard or customized reference temperature. An intrinsically safe discharge circuit dissipates the stored magnetic energy rapidly after the test. The discharge process is continuously monitored and clear indicators show when it is safe to remove the test leads. The instrument is fully automatic and requires no measuring range adjustment. Measurements are performed according to the related IEC, NEMA and ANSI standards. Complete field test reports can be generated on an optional printer. The report can also be sent over a RS-232C interface to a common PC or notebook. For factory use the system can be remote controlled by a host computer. |
