Properties

Measuring functions

  • Step voltage;
  • Contact voltage;
  • Specific earth resistance;
  • Earth resistance.

Key features

  • Accurate: high accuracy of the measurements due to a high current of up to 50 A and effective suppression of noise.
  • Noise immunity: excellent immunity even against changing earth currents.
  • Autonomous Step Voltage meter: no need for long potential leads; a few meters can be used simultaneously.
  • Safe: high safety due to low output voltage (55 V).
  • Low weight: the weight of the Station is 29.5 kg only.
  • Memory: up to 1000 test results can be saved into the 3-level internal memory of the system.
  • PC SW HVLink PRO included in the standard set enables downloading and analysis of results and printing of test reports.
