Measure Low Resistance Anywhere
 |
Equally at home in the laboratory, the workshop, in the field, on the bench or on the ground, Megger’s new heavy duty DLRO10HD low resistance ohmmeter combines rugged construction with accuracy and ease of use. It features an internal rechargeable battery and can also operate from a mains supply. The DLRO10HD, when used with optional terminal insulating test leads, is rated CATIII, 300 V in line with IEC61010.
With 0.1 microohm resolution, 0.2% basic accuracy, and a dedicated mode for use with inductive loads, the DLRO10HD is ideal for applications as diverse as checking the integrity of welded joints and verifying winding resistance in large motors and transformers.
Taking Insulation Testing to the Next Level
In response to growing demand for a portable high accuracy, low current test set suitable for testing insulation at up to 30 kV, Megger has introduced the new MIT30 high voltage insulation tester.
 |
Housed in a rugged compact case that makes it ideal for use in the field, the MIT30 offers continuously variable output voltage from 0 to 30 kV with test currents up to 330 µA. The maximum output voltage and current can be achieved simultaneously, which allows fast charging of capacitive test pieces, thereby significantly reducing testing times.
Typical applications of this innovative instrument include acceptance and maintenance testing of switchgear and transformers, as well as the testing of spark gaps used in radar installations, EMP suppression systems, and to provide back-up over-voltage protection for klystrons and BWOs (backward wave oscillators).

New RoCoil mV Flexible Current Transformers
DENT Instruments announces the introduction of the RoCoil mV Series of Current Transformers (CTs). These flexible Rogowski Coil CTs deliver “installer-friendly” features such as large window size, light weight, wide current range, and mechanical flexibility for mounting in tight quarters.
 |
Chris Dent, President of DENT Instruments said, “These new flexible current transformers permit measurements on conductors where conventional rigid CTs would be very difficult to use. RoCoils provide accurate, non-intrusive measurement of AC current combined with easy placement around cable bundles, large bus bars and irregular shaped conductors.”
Like its name implies, the RoCoil mV produces a millivolt output for use with DENT’s ELITEpro and DATApro Series dataloggers, as well as other manufacturers’ metering instruments. RoCoil mV CTs are available in standard lengths up to 72” and current ranges up to 6000A.

The New Dual Display Clamp-on Meters Models 670 & 675
 |
AEMC’s Models 670 and 675 are True RMS clamp-on meters that provide RMS measurements for today’s non-linear electrical environments. These meters are designed to measure and display amps and volts at the same time. They are also auto-ranging and provide the best measurement range and resolution for troubleshooting. The Models 670 and 675 are sized for comfortable, one-handed operation. The tapered and hooked jaw design facilitates maneuvering in crowded wiring and breaker panels, making it easy to select conductors.
The New Ground Resistance Tester Model 6471
 |
The Ground Resistance Tester Model 6471 is a portable measurement instrument designed to measure Ground Resistance using 2 current clamps (no auxiliary rods). It measures from 0.01 to 99.99kΩ and is auto-ranging, automatically seeking out the optimum measurement range and test current.
Easy-to-use–Simply connect the leads, select the test mode, press Start and read the results. Up to 512 test results can be stored in internal memory for later recall to the display or download to a PC using DataView software.
New Ground Resistance Testing System Models 6472/6474
 |
AEMC Instruments Models 6472/6474 Ground Resistance Tester system is capable of testing the ground resistance of power transmission towers without disconnecting the overhead ground conductors–this feature alone is a major time and money saver not to mention a major safety improvement.
