Cable Length Measurement In M - Gossen MetraWatt METRAHIT ENERGY TRMS System Multimeter Operating Instructions Manual

5.6.1 Cable Length Measurement in m

In the cable length measuring mode, the instrument calculates
length as a function of the capacitance value entered by the user:
measured capacitance (nF)
Length (km) =
capacitance value (nF / km)
Preparation and execution of this measurement is the same as for
capacitance measurement.
Ð Press the multifunction key (FUNC | ENTER) until
"k" and "m" (for kilometers) appear at the display.
Note
Use of the power pack may result in significant deviations
during capacitance and cable length measurements!
CAP – Scaling Factor for Cable Length Measurement
(capacitive linear electric constant)
With regard to adjusting the "CAP" scaling factor (capacitive linear
electric constant), see also section 6.4.

Note
When measuring cable length, make sure that the cable
parameters (e.g. cross-section) are identical. Varying cable
parameters, for example interconnected cables of varying
type or cross-section, distort measurement results.
