Electrical test and measuring instruments have new look

7 May 2003 Test & Measurement

MajorTech's new-look K-Series electrical test and measuring instruments for electricians and electrical engineers, have larger displays and more features for end-user satisfaction as well as for ease-of-use. The K-Series range also meets the latest IEC Safety Standards of IEC 61010-1 CAT III.

Model K3007 and K3005 are microprocessor-controlled digital insulation/continuity testers. They not only permit insulation resistance measurement on the three rated test voltages 250, 500 and 1000 V and continuity testing, but also offer a number of advanced features such as bargraph reading of insulation resistance, auto null function of test leads for continuity testing. This function automatically subtracts the test lead resistance before displaying the real continuity resistance value. Both models display the value of AC voltage along with a warning symbol. Top-of-the-range K3007 has Trac-Lok function to conserve battery life on insulation and continuity tests, as well as a backlight.

The K3131 offers superior performance, and features include test lead resistance zero adjustment for time saving continuous operation, as well as a clear easy-to-read illuminated scale and a live circuit warning. An intrinsically-safe version is also available.

The K4120 and K4118 are digital loop testers that offer the user a very convenient test instrument capable of measuring fault loop impedance within the wiring circuit directly at the power outlet. Both can also measure prospective short circuit (PSC) current tests, so as to comply with the SABS 0142. One outstanding feature of the 4120 is a D-Lok circuit that permits loop impedance testing without tripping most RCDs (ELCBs) installed in the circuit under loop test.

As a special introductory offer to purchasers of the K-Series loop testers, MajorTech is supplying the distribution board test leads free of charge.
