2 INTRODUCTION Introduction 2.1 Basic technical The MOM2 is designed to measure the resistance of circuit breaker contacts, bus-bar joints, contact ele- description ments in bus-bars and other high-current links. When contact resistance rises because of oxidation, The output current is delivered from a supercapacitor loosened or improperly tightened threaded joints, which is charged from the built-in rechargeable bat- temperatures rise abnormally at the points of contact.
2 INTRODUCTION 2.2 DualGround – Both sides grounded With MOM2 it is possible to make measurements according to the DualGround™ method. The most im- portant advantage is improved safety but the method is also easier and saves time. The number of tasks is reduced when the ground cable does not need to be disconnected and reconnected.
