Phoenix Contact's Checkmaster can now be used to test all spark gaps in the company's Flashtrab compact range. The CM-PA-FLT/VAL-CP test adapter was specially-developed for this purpose. Its universal design also enables testing of both Flashtrab compact and Valvetrab compact varistor plugs.
No installation is required, which means it is possible to test the protection devices on site. There also is no need to turn off the supply voltage. The plug is simply pulled out, tested and then plugged back in again. If the unit under test is damaged or faulty, it is immediately replaced with a new plug. Testing encompasses all the components in the protective plugs, including the spark gaps' trigger circuit.
