1. Description The MRM-100-V2 high-current micro-ohmmeter is a portable, digital instrument. It has optimized filters and protections for measurements in electrical substations. Can be used to accurately measure very low contact resistances of high voltage circuit-breakers and switches, busbars, etc., with test currents up to 100A. It employs the 4 terminals- method (U/I measuring principle) to avoid errors caused by test leads and their contact resistances.
1.1. Operating principle This device uses the Kelvin Bridge architecture, with four terminals, avoiding testing leads resistance to cause error during measurement. The operator may choose test current and the reading is obtained by comparison through internal high-stability standards. The result appears in the alphanumeric display that is very easy to read.
