The Vanguard Auto-Ohm 100 Ampere Micro-Ohmmeter applies a true DC current from 10A to 100A to the resistance load to be tested. Any test current setting can be selected by using the function control knob on the front panel.
The Vanguard Auto-Ohm 100 Ampere Micro-Ohmmeter controls the test current’s rise and fall rates by using a switching DC power supply and a current regulator circuit.
The Auto Test Mode feature can be initiated simply by applying the sensor cables’ leads across the two points of interest, making the measurement of a sequence of several resistance values in a breaker contact very convenient.
Since a true DC ramped current is passed through the breaker contacts, no magnetic transient is induced into the breaker’s current transformer. This can prevent the risk of inductively tripping a breaker control (bus differential relay). The resistance reading is displayed directly in micro-ohms or milli-ohms. No calculations are required to compensate for lead resistances.
